Premier Youth Development League is part of the Premier Umbrella, designed as a key step in our developmental pathway. This league provides players with valuable in-game experience, allowing them to compete among their peers before progressing to higher-level competition. With a focus on team-structured training, skill development, and game play, we aim to create a fun and competitive environment where players can grow both individually and as a team.
Our Premier League has been available for U14, U16, and U18. With the introduction of a younger age divisions to offer more game experience, we recognized the need to further refine the structure. Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we will now have two separate age categories for U11 and U13—each with its own developmental focus.
This new structure ensures that players receive the right level of competition and training, better preparing them for the next stages of their basketball journey. More details below.
The U13 Division is designed to bridge the gap between youth basketball and higher-level competition, preparing players for the Premier League. This division provides a structured environment where athletes can refine their skills, develop game awareness, and build confidence through team training and competitive play. With a format that mirrors our Premier League, players will gain valuable experience in organized team settings, helping them transition smoothly into high school basketball and beyond.
The U11 Division focuses on team structure and game play while ensuring equal playing time for all athletes. Games will follow a fair-play system, where players rotate in and out at set intervals, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to contribute on the court. Coaches will oversee structured team training while emphasizing development, teamwork, and game awareness. This division is designed to help younger players build confidence, improve their basketball IQ, and develop essential skills in a competitive yet supportive environment.
