Our Mission

From the beginning, our mission has been to develop our athletes into the best versions of themself through high level skills training in a competitive environment. Specializing in building fundamentals, basketball IQ and maximizing confidence, we aim to assist our students in reaching their athletic potential. We foster a loving culture where families can look to us for support and mentorship on and off the court. We consider it a privilege to help athletes of all skill levels who show consistency, hard-work and dedication. Our expectations are that our athletes exhibit constant growth, no matter how big or small. PTW places a strong emphasis on leaving a mark on our athletes, long after they are done with our program.

The Success of 3v3 Tournaments at PTW

Our 3v3 Tournaments for boys and girls have been an unparalleled success. These tournaments allow players to showcase their talents and are a terrific learning experience as well as a lot of fun. We started the tournament in a good-sized gym, then subsequently needed to move to a bigger one, and then again to an even bigger one.

Experienced Training Staff

Our staff includes accomplished players and coaches dedicated to building superior athletes and wholesome people. Our curriculum is adapted by age, sex, and skill level to maximize learning and growth.
