Play Club Basketball, Play Paladin!

Paladin Basketball Club is a competitive, team oriented program designed to develop and enhance the individual and team skills needed to compete at a higher level.

Club basketball teams compete in local basketball tournaments and register in established local basketball leagues in the East Valley including Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, Mesa, Florence and San Tan Valley.

While club basketball competition breeds intensity, we believe as a Christian-based organization that club sports should be played the right way. Our club basketball teams display integrity, sportsmanship, respect, kindness and ultimately a Christ-like attitude on and off the court. Prayer is cornerstone of each of our club basketball teams as well as an outreach to the teams we compete against.

Placement onto a club basketball team is determined through an assessment, tryout or player draft.
