ABOUT THE SAINTS BASKETBALL CLUB

Welcome to the Saints Basketball Club and to our family! We started out as the AM SAINTS of Arizona a few short years ago This very special “COMPETITIVE BASKETBALL CLUB” was created in the summer of 2003 with the expectation of developing competitive teams out of the talent in the South Valley. Very quickly the word is spreading about the Saints program and we now have been able to create teams in every age group with players from all over the area.

The Saints Basketball Club focuses on player development, fundamentals and taking players to the next level. Whether that is aspiring to play in the NBA, receiving a scholarship to participate in NCAA or NAIA basketball or simply making their High School or Junior High basketball team, Saints has the ability and knowledge to take you there!

Saints Basketball was founded and developed by Phil Williams "Coach Phil", Coach Phil's goal was to develop a Club Basketball program where a few select, talented players will have the opportunity to learn from proven experience and knowledge. What he didn't expect was the amount of attention and desire area youth's have shown him in a short period of time that would like to play for his growing club.

The focus of the SAINTS is on our players! We want them to grow mentally, physically and emotionally into aspiring young adults. Winning will take care of itself, if the Club does what it is supposed to do, which is teach, develop and show each player the path to become the best they can be. The Saints Basketball Club staff has provided grassroots exposure for high school athletes to college coaches at NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA schools. Our ELITE travel teams, year round training program, showcases, and team tournaments are all used to provide players with top-level exposure and/or instruction. This website is designed to give you information on the latest news and to provide opportunities to improve or showcase your game.

TRYOUTS

The SAINTS  are  now conducting tryouts. We have several competitive age groups for BOYS & GIRLS 8-17 and we are now seeking additional players and families who will be committed to a year-round basketball program.

Players are evaluated on skill execution such as ball handling, shooting, etc. We base our selections on what the athletes do during the tryout period and what we perceive their potential to be. We select athletes based on the following criteria: athletic ability, work ethic, drive, coach-ability, competitive attitude, skill ability, and potential.

TRYOUTS BEGIN the WEEK of Jan 17 and practice Begins in FEB. Tournament Play begins in March and ends in August.
