Every Sunday

What Sundays look like

Ninety minutes, three blocks, zero standing around. Kids rotate through the same structure every week — so they always know what's next, and always leave better.

Warm-Up and Agility

Agility first — ladders, quick feet, and footwork that gets kids moving before anyone shoots.

Ball Handling

Ball handling, dribbling, and passing — taught the same way at every station, corrected kid by kid.

Shooting & Finishing

Proper shooting form, layups, and finishing at the rim — broken down step by step, at every kid's speed.

Our values

We coach CARE

CARE stands for Concentration, Attitude, Respect, and Effort — the four habits we coach in every drill. Kids hear these words every Sunday, and coaches notice when they get them right.

Concentration icon — eye with target

Concentration

Eyes up, mind on the drill.

Attitude icon — star with flame

Attitude

Stay positive. Bring energy. Lift teammates.

Respect icon — paws in a high-five

Respect

For coaches, teammates, themselves, and the game.

Effort icon — lightning bolt and sweatband

Effort

Hard now beats easy later.

Why families pick us

Built different on purpose

Nonprofit, actually

A 501(c)(3) where 100% of fees go straight back into the program. Nobody here is selling your kid a travel-team dream.

Taught, not babysat

Every drill and every skill has a why, and kids hear it. We build players who think the game — not kids who ran around a gym for an hour.

Every kid plays

No bench, no cuts, no tryouts. Ages 6–11, all skill levels, every Sunday. Show up ready to work and you're a Wildcat.

Wildcat families

Don't take our word for it

Real quotes from real Wildcats parents and players.

Our son loves the ATX Wildcats clinics! His basketball skills and overall confidence have grown so much since we started going. Coach Kathy is awesome—she cares so much about the kids and is always lifting them up with the best advice and encouragement.
Nicole R.Wildcats parent
The ATX Wildcats Basketball Clinic has been an incredible experience for our family. The coaches are patient, hands-on, and make learning the fundamentals fun in a low-pressure environment, which has helped my son truly enjoy the game. He looks forward to every clinic, loves the coaches and friends he’s made, and has grown so much in both skill and confidence. We’re so grateful for this program and what it brings to our community.
Maryah C.Wildcats parent
Our daughters get excited to attend Wildcats and both have progressed in games and confidence. Our 4th grader, Joie scores points in her league games and she can dribble under pressure from running drills at Wildcats Clinic.
