The Mercury Elite Fall Skills Camp is an intensive 5-week program designed to prepare high school athletes for the upcoming season. Participants will engage in advanced skill development focusing on refining their shooting, ball-handling, and playmaking skills while gaining a higher basketball IQ. The camp also emphasizes physical conditioning and will be run by college coaches at a collegiate level of intensity. Athletes will benefit from personalized coaching and live competition that simulates the fast-paced environment of college basketball, and that will ultimately set them up for success at the high school level this Winter.
An additional option to join a 6-week Fall League is also available. Participation will be limited to 2 Varsity teams (all HS ages welcome) and teams will play in the CYBN Fall League from September 15th - October 13th. These games will serve as opportunities for players to test new moves, compete, and improve their conditioning with limited offensive sets implemented.
We are PUMPED to announce that we will be running Youth Teams this Fall! If you missed out on our Summer AAU season, this is your chance to join the Mercury Elite Family and prepare for the Winter Feeder Season!
Tryouts have officially been concluded and team invites have been sent out. Thank you so much to everyone who tried out. We look forward to seeing you all in the gym soon!
