Looking Forward to the Spring and Summer

Basketball Court

It has been a great year for all of our Katy Raptors players who are playing on their respective Jr High and High School teams. After working hard for 3 solid years, all of the players on our Katy Raptors 2025 team made their school’s A Team. Our Katy Raptors 2024 players are showing off their skills and making an incredible impact on their school teams as well. We are so proud of these players and grateful for our coaches and trainers who are building leaders on and off the court and helping them maximize their potential!

Our Katy Raptors 2022 players are also making a great impact on both Varsity and JV teams for their schools. We are so proud of them for setting a great example for our younger teams as they work hard to pursue their goals. For this upcoming season, we are planning to move this team up to be a Varsity team made up of 16-17 year old players. We think this team is ready for the challenge and is already playing at this level for their respective school teams. We also have had a lot of older players ask if they could play for our program, and we have not had a team for them.

As we prepare for this transition, we are accepting inquiries for high school players who might be interested in playing for this Varsity team. Ideally, we are looking for a few post and wing players. If you are interested in playing for a program that provides great coaching, solid and purposeful skill training, leadership and mental toughness development sessions, and helps prepare players for the next level, we would love to hear from you about your experience and interest. You can email Mike Van Hoozer and provide the following information:

  • Name and Age
  • School Team including which team you play for (Varsity, JV, etc.)
  • AAU Experience over the last 3-5 years
  • Height and Weight
  • What you are looking for in an AAU experience

Based on the interest, we will conduct some private workouts in the coming weeks.

Interested in Joining Our Team?

We are in the planning stages for our Spring/Summer AAU season and looking forward to developing our leaders on and off the court! If this sounds like something you would be interested in for your son, check out our teams and programs and email me for more information. If you are not a part of one of our teams or academy, we would love to talk to you to see if it is a fit for your student athlete. All of our teams including our 2022 team, which I personally coach, will be looking for a few select athletes to join us for the Spring/Summer AAU season. We also offer skills and shooting training for players who might be a fit for our program.

If you are interested in joining our program, email me with the following information:

  • Your name and phone number
  • Your son’s name
  • Current grade and school
  • Current school team and level and any select teams that he has played for
  • What you are looking for in an AAU basketball program for your son

We are planning some workouts for prospective players in the coming weeks and would be glad to include you in those based on the needs of our teams and the fit within our program. We are very selective on the type of player that will be a good fit for our program and want competitive players who want to develop further as a basketball player and leader on and off the court. We don’t want to just assemble a group of talented individuals. We want to develop a great team of competent and capable leaders who want to be coached and developed to help them maximize their potential and achieve their goals!
