Build the Culture

We are here to build culture. At Stance Basketball Academy, every session is rooted in discipline, accountability, and a team-first mindset. We develop players who compete, communicate, and carry themselves with purpose on and off the court.

Train with Purpose

Every rep has intention. We focus on developing complete players through fundamentals, defensive toughness, and a well-rounded offensive game. Our training isn’t random. It’s structured to build confidence, IQ, and a true love for the game from the ground up.

Take Your

Stance

This is where players find their identity. We challenge athletes to stand for something: effort, resilience, and pride in how they play. Especially in the growth of girls basketball, we are building a space where athletes can own their voice, their game, and their presence.

Every Tuesday starting August 25th through December 15th, 2026

Little Ballers

Kinder - 1st Grade
August 25th through December 15th, 2026

When you’re ready to move from the little hoop in their room, this is the next stop! Stance combines the foundations of basketball with the hoopers' learning about overall movement, strength, and coordination. They will use both hands, learn to move their feet, and understand what to look for on the court, all the while cheering for teammates and jumping for every loose ball. It is play with purpose.

5th-8th Grade Girls
August 25th through December 15th, 2026

We take the girls in this session and take their game to the next level. Stance focuses on the toughness and grittiness of both offense and defense that will separate girls at this age. The handle has more progressions, the passing is more precise, and we dial in on how to score in multiple ways. The biggest aspects we ramp up are pressure and hoop IQ.

Mike

3rd Grade Parent

"Joining Stance Academy has been the driving force behind my son’s basketball growth. Every session has elevated his ball handling, shooting, defense, and overall basketball IQ to another level. Stance has an incredible way of breaking down the game, so every player can truly understand and improve with confidence. Coach Carlo brings passion, discipline, and energy to every workout — building not only stronger players, but stronger mindsets, all while making the game fun and exciting."

Greg

8th Grade 

Parent

"My son and I have been with STANCE from the beginning. Two years of basketball skills, passion, and sportsmanship on the court, as well as leadership both on and off the court. The work with Coach Carlo has helped my son earn the position of captain of his team, and MVP. Coaches and teammates appreciate what my son brings in terms of basketball knowledge and teamwork to the teams he plays with. Much of that is directly correlated to STANCE. Powered by STANCE!"

Kim

4th Grade Parent

"Our daughter has been with Coach Carlo at Stance for only 8 months - and not only has her love for basketball grown, but she’s also greatly improved her playing skills, and made new friends along the way. She always has fun at practice, while continuing to learn and be challenged, which we appreciate. We love that Stance has opened the doors for girl ballers of all ages, and it’s reassuring as a parent to know your daughter has this unique opportunity. Grateful for Coach Carlo and all his assistant student coaches!"
