Basketball

At Compass Sports Performance, our basketball leagues are built around youth development and growth. Using proven systems from our educational programs, we help young athletes build confidence, skill, and game experience in a structured, supportive, and competitive environment.

We offer recreational leagues for ages 5 - 8 focused on fundamentals and fun, and competitive leagues for ages 7 - 19 designed to challenge players and refine their basketball IQ. Each level helps athletes progress at their own pace while learning to play the game and building great character.

All leagues are hosted at our premier facilities The Space and AZ Compass Prep both in Chandler, AZ.

Ages

Each division combines age, grade and skill level, offering multiple tiers of play as participation grows. This system allows athletes and teams to compete where they belong — developmentally and competitively.

Cutoff Date: September 1. A player’s “league age” is their age on August 31. This is based on typical high school rules. Players should not turn 19 years of age prior to September 1 of their senior year of high school.

Example:

Division 14U - Grade 8

  • As of August 31 you are still 14 years old and in grade 8, you are eligible.
  • As of August 31 you are already 15 years of age and/or you are in grade 9, you are ineligible.


*you must be in the grade in which you compete regardless of age.
