So proud of our NC Wizards this weekend! 💯🏀🔥
We went into this tournament playing against players that were every bit of 6'1 and 6'2 and honestly looked like 7th and 8th graders, while most of our boys were only around 4 feet tall. Yet our kids never backed down one single time. We fought hard every game this weekend and finished as the second seed going into the semifinals.
At the end of the day all that did was make our team even better, tougher, and more prepared for the future. 💯
We lost in the semifinals, but I can promise you this… we made them earn every second of that win. They continually had to keep putting their starters back in, including players over 6 feet tall, (our kids are 4ft tall) just to compete against our boys that are mainly 3rd and 4th graders. We only have three 5th graders on our team and even have a 2nd grader playing up.
I truly do not even think our kids understand what they accomplished this weekend. Out of the entire division, we finished 3rd overall. We played giants this weekend, but we came out and fought like Goliath 🏀🔥 These NC Wizards showed heart, determination, toughness, and grit all weekend long and left everything they had on that court.
I promise you people at that tournament will be talking about the NC Wizards for a long time. Beyond proud of this team for never backing down and continuing to fight no matter what was put in front of them.
NC Wizards… Built Tough. Play Tough. 💙💛🏀🔥🏀💯

🏀🔥 NC WIZARDS SHOOTING LAB – GET BETTER FROM THE GROUND UP! 🔥🏀
If your shot isn’t consistent… it’s time to go back to the basics 💯
The laying down shooting drill is one of the BEST ways to build perfect form from the ground up. No legs. No distractions. Just YOU and your release.
👉 HOW TO DO IT:
Lay flat on your back
Shoot the ball straight up in the air
Focus on your elbow placement + wrist snap
Catch it clean and repeat
👉 WHAT WE’RE WORKING ON:
✔️ Proper hand placement
✔️ Straight release every time
✔️ Backspin control
✔️ Follow-through (hold that gooseneck 🖐️)
This is how we BUILD shooters, not just take shots 💪🏀
📣 Wizards Family — have your players get in 50 reps a day at home and watch the difference!
Wizards… Built Tough. Play Tough. 💯🔥🏀
