About Us
What is Gym Rats about?
We are looking to develop our kids to be well rounded players.
Our focus is on winning, but also on teaching the fundamentals
of the game. There aren't a lot of programs that do focus on the
fundamentals because as long as the kid gets a scholarship to
play in college they think their job is done. What we want to do
here at Gym Rats is not only help your daughter receive an offer
from a college of her choice, but also be able to play and enjoy
her college career. A common mistake that players make is
committing to a school, but when they get to college they are
not ready for that level of play which results in limited
minutes during their freshman year. We make sure that our
players are ready to go come the start of their first college
seasons.
Why so many tournaments?
As a program we do go to a lot of tournaments, but we strongly
believe that in order to learn and grow as a player you must
play the game as much as possible. "Perfect practice makes
perfect." On top of all of the tournaments we do practice four
nights a week. This will help optimize the amount of time we
have in the spring in order to help your daughter develop and
perform at her highest potential.
Why are we Adidas sponsored?
Gym Rats is Adidas sponsored because the tournaments are at
great venues, so you daughter will get great exposure. This does
mean more tournaments, but that is what our players need in
order to perform at the highest level. The more higher caliber
tournaments we go to, the more exposure your daughter will get.
This will increase your daughters chances of receiving a
scholarship to the college she is interested in. Before going to
each tournament, we encourage our players to email every coach
they are interesting in playing for and telling them what time
and courts we will be playing on so that it is easier for the
coaches to find you in the huge convention centers.
Why Gym Rats?
Gym Rats is the program for you if you are willing to do
whatever it takes to improve your game. We put our players
through rigorous workouts that will not only challenge the
physical side of the game, but also the mental. If you are not
committed to showing up with a competitive and determined
attitude then this is not the program for you. We make sure our
players so more than ready for the next level, so that the
transition from high school to college basketball is not very
drastic. We will get you ready, just have to trust the process.
