  • “RISE Basketball School is a GEM in Albuquerque. They have created a wonderful space where kids can learn basketball in a safe and inspiring way. They have an incredible gift of bringing out the best of their students both individually and as a team. It was important for us to find a program that could foster our son's love of basketball in a way that was balanced in work and fun; RISE has been able to do that. We are so glad we found their facility.”

    • Playing Time: The Developmental League guarantees playing time for all participants, ensuring everyone gets a chance to develop their skills. Competitive Club Teams prioritize winning and may not guarantee playing time for all players.

    • Competition Level: Developmental League teams will play against each other multiple times throughout the season, fostering friendly competition and skill development. Competitive Club Teams provide a challenging environment for advanced players. They'll compete against other top-level teams in local and regional tournaments.

    Here are some additional factors to consider:

    • Skill Level: Is your child dominating their age group, or are they still developing basic skills?

    • Confidence: Does your child thrive in competitive situations, or do they benefit from a more encouraging environment?

    We recommend the Developmental League if:

    • Your child is new to the sport or still learning the fundamentals.

    • Your child prioritizes having fun and developing their skills over winning.

    Competitive Club Teams might be a good fit if:

    • Your child is a highly skilled player consistently excelling at their current level.

    • Your child enjoys the challenge of competing against stronger opponents.
