This weekend we will host tryouts for our
2010 Bti High School club teams.
At BTi, we strive to create a learning environment that goes beyond basketball. Our focus on "development first than exposure" has been our formula to success.
BTi 's committment to placing athletes into a 4-year college/university is our #1 priority. Furthermore, we believe in academic excellence so we offer a SAT Prep Class, academic tutoring and a NCAA Eligibility Workshop . Last, one-third of our practice time is devoted towards skill and player development which enables our players to continue to grow during the off-season.
This up coming season plans to be our best ever we hope to have some of your kids come out!!
