Competitive Basketball Teams
Updated March 25, 2021 at 11:30 AM (MST)
MONDO Athletics offer competitive basketball teams, in addition to our core 1-on-1 and group skill straining, because we fully understand that youths ultimately want to COMPETE. This is the best way to measure progress anyway.
"Not only did my son (a sophomore) make his high school basketball team this year but he made JV. We are so proud of him but we really wanted to thank you, too. You spent a lot of time with him and allowed him to continue to grow in his basketball skills. He really needed that, especially after being cut from the team last year. Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!" – Parent of a 1oth grader
EVALUATIONS are available on a 1-on-1 basis year-round. Open group evaluations (TRYOUTS) are also held as follows:
- Spring season = late February to early-March (start of the club season)
- Summer season = late May, early June
- Fall season = late August to early September
- Winter season = November
During an evaluation or group tryouts, the MONDO coaches and trainers will gauge various aspects of a player's game, including defensive intensity, ball handling & dribbling, passing, shooting consistency and accuracy, hoops IQ, play making ability, fitness and conditioning, work ethic, and moral character. Players will also be asked about their grades in school (we encourage academic excellence). A family's commitment level will also be assessed. Afterwards, players may then be invited to 1) join the group basketball training workouts and compete on a MONDO basketball team or 2) joing the group workouts only, as spots are available.
"I want to thank you for all you've done. I've seen such a positive change in my son's attitude, behavior and focus at home." –Parent of an 8th grader
MONDO competitive basketball teams compete in leagues and/or tournaments throughout the greater Denver, Colorado metropolitan area, with some travel during the AAU spring and summer months for the more skilled teams. All SERIOUS basketball players looking to join a MONDO competitive basketball team must first REGISTER to be evaluated.
"Our son and we appreciate everything you have done so far for him and the team and feel that you are the best most inspirational coach he has had to date. THANK YOU for all the life lessons that you teach the boys along with basketball." –Parent
What if I Don't Make a Competitive Team?
If you were evaluated on a one-on-one basis, or attended a group tryouts session, and did not get invited to join a competitive boys basketball team, please do not get discouraged. You or your student/athlete may not be ready for the competitive level of training and competition that MONDO basketball faces. MONDO Athletics will do all that it can to create opportunities for youth basketball players that are serious about training to become better players and young people. MONDO offers group basketball skills training, individual skills training, and basketball camps across the country. We also offer strength and performance training. Like academics, progress in sports comes with hard work, focus and dedication.
