A highly focused weekend program designed for elite 14U to 16U players. We prepare athletes for exposure circuits during the spring and summer, giving them the tools and structure to stand out to college scouts.
C5 Elite is comprised of Southeast Missouri's top talent playing on recruitment circuits for exposure. Our structured pathway ensures athletes are developed thoroughly to excel under the pressure of national competition.
We feature a dedicated development and feeder system to support this ladder, with our 14U team playing locally and dominating, our 15U roster proving they belong on the circuit, and our 16s and 17s competing directly for college scholarship offers.
We bring Southeast Missouri's top players together to compete on high-exposure recruitment circuits. At C5, we believe in building strong habits. We teach discipline, consistency, and teamwork. Roster spots are highly competitive and earned through open tryouts.
Operating strictly during the Spring and Summer seasons, this program features structured weekend commitments of court training, strength development, and detailed film study.
Our young players focus on mastering basketball basics and winning locally. They learn our core play styles and build the physical and mental skills needed for circuit play.
This team transitions onto national travel circuits. We prepare them to handle faster, more physical competition and get comfortable playing in front of college scouts.
The peak of our program. These high school athletes play directly in front of college coaches, head scouts, and evaluators, showcasing their skills to secure scholarship offers.
Looking for Local Youth Development?
Looking for local team play? We also offer a separate local program for youth in grades 3 through 11. They practice twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays (6:00 to 8:00 PM) and play in local tournaments. Learn more on our Home Page.
We start the weekend strong with age-appropriate strength training and structured on-court team practice. We wrap up Friday night with simple, guided film sessions to help players see the court better and learn smart positioning.
Saturdays focus on advanced shooting skills and team chemistry. We kick off with mechanical shooting work and high-repetition game drills. After a supervised lunch break, players return to the court for game situation practice and close with an interactive shooting clinic.
We finish Sunday morning with functional conditioning, fast-break training, and real game scrimmages. Once our review sessions conclude, players are dismissed for the afternoon to rest and focus on their upcoming school week.
"We implement discipline, consistency, and structure. Our goal is to prepare players to compete at the highest level and earn their opportunities on the court."
