EVERY ATHLETE NEEDS A STARTING POINT
Before deciding what an athlete needs next, it helps to understand where they are today.
A MONDO youth basketball evaluation is an individual basketball workout designed to assess an athlete's current skills, basketball IQ, movement, confidence, coachability and overall development needs.
But an evaluation isn't about simply assigning a skill level. It's about identifying strengths, areas for improvement and the development path that makes the most sense for that athlete.

But an evaluation isn't about simply assigning a skill level. It's about identifying strengths, areas for improvement and the development path that makes the most sense for that athlete.
After the evaluation, families receive feedback and recommendations for appropriate next steps—which may include clinics and camps, private training, a competitive MONDO team opportunity, or areas the athlete can continue working on independently.
No obligation. No pressure to join a program. Just an informed place to start.

WHAT WE EVALUATE
Every athlete is different, so evaluations aren't based on a single score or checklist. We look at the whole athlete, including:
- Shooting — mechanics, balance, rhythm and range
- Ball Handling & Dribbling — control, coordination and movement with the ball
- Footwork & Movement — balance, agility and body control
- Basketball IQ — decision-making, spacing and understanding of the game
- Athletic Development — mobility, coordination and basketball conditioning
- Coachability — listening, applying instruction and responding to feedback
- Confidence & Competitiveness — willingness to challenge themselves and compete
- Work Ethic & Attitude — effort, focus and approach to development
YOUR EVALUATION IS THE BEGINNING, NOT THE END.
Following the workout, we'll discuss what we observed and recommend an appropriate next step. Depending on the athlete, that could mean:
CLINICS & CAMPS
Build fundamentals, confidence and experience in a group environment.
PRIVATE TRAINING
Target specific development needs through individualized instruction.
COMPETITIVE TEAMS
For athletes ready to apply their skills in an appropriate competitive environment.
KEEP WORKING
Sometimes an athlete simply needs feedback and a plan. There is no requirement to purchase additional MONDO services following an evaluation.
THE GOAL ISN'T TO SELL EVERY ATHLETE THE SAME PROGRAM.
The goal is to help every athlete find the right path.
