Advancement Earned Through Mastery — Not Age

​

Once athletes are placed into the program, they work through the CLUBHOOPS Player Pathway™ to prepare for advancement. CLUBHOOPS Combine™ are held quarterly and determine whether a player is ready to move to the next Color Level.

​

CLUBHOOPS Combine™ eligibility

​

1. Players must complete the required number of classes assigned to their current level. To qualify for a CLUBHOOPS Combine™, each athlete must attend a minimum of 26 total classes or be extended an invitation from a Master Skills Instructor.

2. This standard ensures every player receives the necessary on‑court instruction, repetition, and skill reinforcement before advancing.

3. Once an athlete reaches the attendance requirement, they become eligible to participate in CLUBHOOPS Combine™.
