Go Up Strong Team Structure

This year, we’re proud to continue building our Go Up Strong program with a clear structure for our Strong, Gold, and Black Teams.


Each program is designed to meet players where they are — from elite exposure-level competition to developmental opportunities that build confidence and skill.
All teams operate in 3-month training and competition cycles, running four times a year.

STRONG TEAMS — Top Tournament & Exposure Teams

Our Strong Teams are built for our most advanced and committed athletes. These teams compete on a circuit and in top-level tournaments across the region against elite competition.

  • College exposure opportunities and recruiting guidance for high school players

  • Player development built around each athlete’s goals and strengths

  • Competitive training and accountability in a professional environment

  • Putting players in the best position to grow and make an impact on their school teams

GOLD TEAMS — Top Competitive Teams (Tournaments & League Play)

Our Gold Teams are highly competitive teams that participate in both tournaments and league play throughout each 3-month season.

They play in Zero Gravity, Hoop Group, and other top regional events, while training under the same Go Up Strong system that emphasizes skill, team play, and growth.

  • Competing in quality tournaments and league play

  • Advanced training sessions emphasizing fundamentals, spacing, and game decision-making

  • Scrimmages and situational development to prepare for real game moments

  • Helping players grow into strong contributors for their school and travel programs

BLACK TEAMS — Developmental & Competitive Growth Teams

Our Black Teams are perfect for players who are building experience and confidence while striving to take the next step in their basketball journey.

  • Participating in level-appropriate tournaments and league games

  • Learning team concepts, spacing, and game awareness

  • Skill work and scrimmages designed to improve fundamentals

  • Coaches committed to helping each player progress and prepare to earn roles on school and higher-level teams

At Go Up Strong, our mission remains the same:


To provide every athlete — from beginners to advanced players — the opportunity to grow, compete, and achieve their goals.
