At Rise as One Basketball Club, our mission and vision are simple: we are all about player development. We believe that every athlete has the potential to grow and excel in their basketball skills, and it is our goal to provide them with the necessary resources and guidance to achieve their fullest potential. Our dedicated coaches and trainers work tirelessly to create a supportive and challenging environment where players can improve their technical skills, physical fitness, and overall basketball IQ. We understand that each player is unique, and we tailor our training programs to meet their specific needs and goals. With a focus on teamwork, discipline, and perseverance, we aim to instill valuable life lessons and character traits that extend beyond the basketball court. At AAU Basketball Club, we are committed to helping our players rise as one, both as athletes and as individuals.
The Rise as One AAU basketball program is a development-focused program that prioritizes long-term growth over quick results. For athletes seeking immediate success, this may not be the AAU program for them. Our program has consistently produced successful athletes who have dedicated 3-7 years to developing their skills and basketball IQ. It is this commitment to continuous improvement that has resulted in our players being recognized as some of the best in the region, and even in the highly competitive state of New Jersey.
The program has been meticulously crafted by Kevin Houston, drawing from his extensive experience playing in the European professional leagues. Having been a part of top European basketball academies, Houston has gained valuable insights into how players are developed and nurtured. This unique system has proven to be highly effective in producing exceptional talent from non-traditional basketball regions. The results achieved by the program are a testament to dedicated parents, players, and the organization, with players consistently demonstrating exceptional skill and performance.
