We offer multiple divisions within each age group to ensure maximum growth for each of our participants. Each season will start with an evaluation so that we can properly place each participant. Divisions include:
✔️Recreation (Rec) Division - Made up of players that are either new to the game or who are slowly developing. We focus more on the basic fundamentals as well as rules to the sport.
✔️Select Division - Made up of players who have multiple seasons of playing experience and who demonstrate more skill and understanding of the game. We focus on improving the fundamentals, and understanding the team concept such as offensive sets, defensive sets, etc.
✔️Elite Division - Made up of players who are highly skilled and continue to demonstrate a high understanding of the game. We focus on teaching them as if they were playing club level or high school basketball.
✔️Club - Made up of the most experienced Breakthrough Sports players who demonstrate high basketball IQ and push themselves on and off the court.
Breakthrough Sports brings more than twenty years of basketball experience to create the most unique, enjoyable playing experience offered in Southern California. The "Breakthrough Way" is our approach to coaching and mentoring kids with the goal of creating the best player on and off the court. To do this we encourage positive attitude, making mistakes and most importantly having fun!
Our paid coaching staff, including former collegiate and professional coaches, focuses on developing fundamentals, improving basketball IQ and boosting confidence! We focus not just on the "how" behind a fundamental but also the important "why".
In 2016, the Jr. NBA did a study on youth basketball and found that the average youth basketball player in a 5-on-5 league game touched the ball on average four minutes per game. The same study found that in 3-on-3 leagues, the same player touched the ball nearly 5x that amount! In addition, 3-on-3 leagues offer better overall development opportunities and often times is MORE FUN! We use a developmental strategy where all K-2nd Division players and our 3-5th Recreation Division will play 3-on-3 basketball to help with development. All other divisions will play standard 5-on-5 basketball to prepare for high school.
