Frequently Asked Questions

Kids in 1st grade through high school are part of our CTB family. Occasionally we will accept kindergarteners, when they are strong enough to shoot on a standard-height rim (ten feet).

Our athletes are grouped by age and skill level to ensure the perfect fit. Our divisions and classes are designed so every athlete — beginner to advanced — can learn at the right pace with peers similar in age.

CTB is beginner-friendly. We welcome first-timers, developing players, and competitive athletes. Coaches adjust drills to each athlete’s level so everyone grows with confidence.

CTB provides three pathways:

• Weekly Basketball Classes – skill-building, fundamentals, and confidence training
• Seasonal Camps & Holiday Clinics – fun, high-energy development during breaks
• CTB Youth League – age-based gameplay, coaching, and structured competition

Each program is designed to build confidence, teamwork, and whole-athlete development.
