Lakeshore & Rockford Teams (Youth, Middle & High School)

Our Spring Team model was founded in 2011 on the premise that traveling and time away from practice in the OFF SEASON is wasted time. Basics Spring Team training emphasizes the FULL DEVELOPMENT of the player/team/program on and off the court. The teams are designed to improve skill development and confidence and prepare players for school-related tryouts, teams, and competitions.
