Youth Basketball IQ Training in Kirkland, WA
Measurable, decision-making-first development for Kirkland-area youth players — we teach kids to think the game, not just run more reps.
From the Kirkland waterfront to its busy rec leagues, young players are always after an edge. We give Kirkland families a decision-making-first path — basketball IQ, physical skills, and shooting — with progress you can measure session to session.
Why Kirkland families choose Basketball & Beyond
Instead of run-and-gun sessions, we measure what actually wins games. Every player is scored on a Physical Skills Score (/180), a Decision-Making IQ Score (/215), and a combined Total BAB Player Score (/395), plus a separate Shooter’s Protocol (/250). From that data, Coach Chase builds an individualized development plan with a player’s top three priorities — then tracks it from baseline through the end of the season so Kirkland families can see the growth, not just hope for it.
Basketball & Beyond Academy is a youth program (roughly grades 4th–8th). High-school players in Kirkland are served through our partner, Elite Sports NW.
