About PDP Basketball Academy
PDP Basketball Academy is a basketball training and skill development organization. It is independent of any basketball club or program. PDP’s goal is to build the individual player to be the best they can be so they can play at the level they desire. We run individual and group training sessions for ages 8-22 throughout the year. We have Advanced, Elite and All-American training programs.
Many of our tournament proceeds go to fund less privileged kids to develop their basketball skills. Last year we used tournament proceeds to fund scholarships for underprivileged youth basketball players.
Matt Everson will be the onsite tournament coordinator. His mobile phone number is 608-469-7370 and can be reached anytime.
On the following pages, you will find the tournament rules, the final schedule, directions to the facility and some information about PDP Basketball as well as upcoming events.
Thanks for your participation. We hope your kids enjoy their day of competition.
