Philosophy of Play:

This team is designed for current juniors (class of 2026) and sophomores (class of 2027) who want to play college basketball.  The focus for our high school 17s elite team is individual player development, exposure to college coaches through tournament play, and navigating the college recruiting process. 

KC Storm Basketball will focus on player development.  We want every player to be able to play every position on the floor, 1 through 5.  Our priority is teaching athletes the proper fundamentals of communicating, defending, dribbling, cutting, passing, and shooting.  Additionally, we expect our players to be coachable and work their hardest to get better.  We will demand hustle and communication from our athletes at all times; these are the intangibles of the game that do not require any talent.
