BTI strives to showcase Southern California’s top student athletes. Therefore, we recruit Southern California’s best basketball players who are serious about their academics. Our program is well respected by America’s top universities and we have helped place athletes at: UCLA, USC, Cal, Duke, Stanford, Arizona, Penn, Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Dartmouth, Princeton, Northwestern, Pepperdine, Colorado, Airforce, Navy and many more.

Our system is unique because we have modified a college basketball program into a five month club season. We feel it is important that college scouts are able to see our players in a system that is congruent to theirs.

BTI’s program structure consists of the following to help place you into a four year institution:

  • College style team practices
  • Academic support
  • SAT prep
  • IMPACT Performance Training
  • Nutritional support
  • Post & perimeter skills clinics
  • NCAA sanctioned tournaments
  • Active player marketing

BTI strives to play like a college team, focusing on maximizing player recruitment. We have developed a system that emphasizes team play while showcasing individual players’ strengths. Moreover, we emphasize offensive balance by incorporating our post players early into the offense, allowing perimeter players the spacing to utilize intelligent penetration and mastering the art of player movement.

Finally, BTI believes it’s commitment and obligation to it’s student athletes runs deeper than just fielding competitive teams. We actively promote and market our athletes year round. Our new website will allow college coaches to access player profiles of all our athletes. Our emailing system is sophisticated and advanced, supplying over 200 colleges with up-to-date player information weekly.
