The Develop & Compete program was created by Coach Q James and Coach Audrey Taylor. Both coaches worked tirelessly to create a program that harnessed the true value of sports play (confidence, accountability, discipline, etc.), encourages skill development, provides a safe & productive environment, and supports the athlete(s) life & basketball goals.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
TEACH THE GAME – We teach them the why behind an action, move, and offensive concept. We develop play makers, not play runners. A positive environment is also necessary, we end every sessions with players and coaches encouraging each other even after a tough competitive game!
CULTIVATE LEADERS – This is what makes us different. We encourage our players to do more than play basketball. We provide job & volunteer opportunities, encourage philanthropy & community service, prepare young coaches in our Jr Coaching Program, as well as provide empowerment workshops.
PROVIDE RESOURCES – We provide our parents and players with resources needed to support our players journey. We have partnered with some amazing organizations!

Coach Q James(Bballlife) player development system allows for your child to start their skill development & game play at age of 7 yrs old(elementary) through teen(high school). Each level will focus on perfecting fundamentals and as the player improves, they move up a level which will include more intense and complex drills tailored to their area of play(position). In order to move through the 6 levels, players will be evaluated and placed in their proper level to compete & grow at a pace that allows for maturity & leadership skills to be built properly.
