We had our tryouts for the 2023 Fall Season last weekend and are looking forward to workin with our coaches to form the teams. For the Fall, we do things a little differently with one practice a week and 4 weekend tournaments in October. We feel like this helps our players navigate their time efficiently if they are playing multiple sports and also prepares them for their school tryouts and basketball season.
Regarding individual and group training, we will begin that again after the Fall Season. If you are interested in specialized training for your son as well as the Spring/Summer AAU season, feel free to email Coach Kingsley or Mike Van Hoozer to get more information and be put on the list.
It has been a great year for all of our Katy Raptors players who are playing on their respective Jr High and High School teams. After working hard for 3 solid years, all of the players on our Katy Raptors 2025 team made their school’s A Team. Our Katy Raptors 2024 players are showing off their skills and making an incredible impact on their school teams as well. We are so proud of these players and grateful for our coaches and trainers who are building leaders on and off the court and helping them maximize their potential!
Our Katy Raptors 2022 players are also making a great impact on both Varsity and JV teams for their schools. We are so proud of them for setting a great example for our younger teams as they work hard to pursue their goals. For this upcoming season, we are planning to move this team up to be a Varsity team made up of 16-17 year old players. We think this team is ready for the challenge and is already playing at this level for their respective school teams. We also have had a lot of older players ask if they could play for our program, and we have not had a team for them.
As we prepare for this transition, we are accepting inquiries for high school players who might be interested in playing for this Varsity team. Ideally, we are looking for a few post and wing players. If you are interested in playing for a program that provides great coaching, solid and purposeful skill training, leadership and mental toughness development sessions, and helps prepare players for the next level, we would love to hear from you about your experience and interest. You can email Mike Van Hoozer and provide the following information:
Name and Age
School Team including which team you play for (Varsity, JV, etc.)
AAU Experience over the last 3-5 years
Height and Weight
What you are looking for in an AAU experience
Based on the interest, we will conduct some private workouts in the coming weeks.
