TrueLeague players will participate in inter-division games every Friday. In these games, athletes will develop strong team chemistry as well as give athletes the much needed competitive “game experience” to build their confidence.

HERE’S WHAT HAS BEEN ADDED THIS SEASON TO MAXIMIZE ATHLETE GROWTH AND YOUR EXPERIENCE!
Digital Training Partnership
Access curated workouts and drills through a new digital training platform. After vetting several options and testing our top option with a “focus group” this Winter season, we found the best phone/tablet app to engage athletes “at home”.
Weekly Mental Skills Training Sessions
Our 10-year partnership with NBA mental skills coach Graham Betchart has evolved to now offering LIVE “Palms Down” Zoom workouts available to our athletes every weekend. You will also have access to all sessions if you are unable to attend live. Enjoy occasional special guests like Aaron Gordon, Reid Travis, and John Jenkins.
Official Adidas Gear Partnership
With our High School teams playing the Adidas Gold Circuit this season, we are excited that this partnership will bring NEW Adidas game uniforms to the TrueLeague with discounts on Adidas footwear.
Extended TrueLeague on-court practice time!
This season we have added even more court time to our weekly practices to give TrueLeague athletes more time to develop. The extra time on-court is sure to make a difference.

TRUELEAGUE SELECT TEAMS
During the early stages of the Fall/Winter season, we will be monitoring and selecting 9-10 players from our oldest divisions to join our TrueLeague Select Team. The purpose of TrueLeague Select is to allow the athletes to be exposed to the “AAU scene” and experience competition outside of the league. TrueLeague Select will take place for the 4th/5th Grade and 6th-8th Grade divisions.
TrueLeague Select will play in multiple tournaments outside of the regular TrueLeague schedule and have opportunities to scrimmage against our very own “Black Club{“ travel teams.
More information on TrueLeague Select after the season commences.
TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
Individual skill development is one of the many areas where Team Esface excels compared to other basketball programs. We offer multiple training opportunities throughout the week for TrueLeague athletes to enhance their skills outside of team practices and tournaments. Our flagship program, Transformation, is a four-week training program designed to provide athletes with personalized training in private or small group settings. Additionally, TrueLeague Level Up is a 60-minute skill development sessions held exclusively for TrueLeague athletes. These sessions offer a great opportunity for athletes to compete against their teammates and other TrueLeague members.
