High School Tryouts – NXT Teams

Hard 2 Guard is excited to announce High School Tryouts for the upcoming season.

Middle and Elementary School Tryouts

Our Developmental Middle School Teams are designed for athletes in 4th–8th grade who want high-level coaching, strong fundamentals, and a positive team environment—without the pressure of a full elite travel schedule.

This program is ideal for players who are newer and experienced in competitive basketball. Your child will be assigned to a skill-appropriate team so they can compete against other kids at their skill level

Program Focus

Individual skill development (ball handling, shooting, footwork, defense)
Basketball IQ and game concepts
Proper spacing, movement, and team play
Competitive reps in a structured, supportive environment
Building confidence, discipline, and love for the game

What to Expect

2 practices per week
Local league and tournament play
Consistent coaching and clear player development plans
Equal focus on growth, learning, and competition

Development Pathway

This program serves as a feeder into our higher-level NXT and Elite teams. Athletes who show commitment, growth, and readiness will have the opportunity to move up within the Hard 2 Guard program as they develop.

Who This Is For

Players looking to improve skills and fundamentals
Families seeking a structured but balanced basketball commitment
Athletes not yet ready for national-level travel
Middle school players who want to grow at the right pace

Our goal is simple: develop confident, skilled, and disciplined basketball players while creating an environment where athletes can learn, compete, and enjoy the process.
