YOUTH & MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM
The Michigan Premier youth program is the most successful youth program in Southern Michigan. We take great pride in the development of our players. The program is designed specifically to empower young women to thrive beyond the court by developing strength of character, leadership skills, strong work ethic, and self-confidence through the love of basketball and athletic excellence. Our priority is to optimize individual player and overall team performance through hands on leadership focusing on individual fundamental skill training/development, game situations, and team dynamics/unity. We coach our players to compete to their highest level of ability. Coaches mentor athletes while instilling life skills such as teamwork, leadership, self-discipline, responsibility, work ethic, and sportsmanship. These life lessons will equip them to be highly successful adults and the leaders of tomorrow.
