🏀 Another great week of HB ELITE Fall League!

We had 85+ athletes in the gym again this week, with players traveling from the U.P. all the way down to Grand Rapids to compete!

Athletes competed hard, made new connections, and created memories that will last well beyond Fall League.

Our biggest takeaway this week was seeing the consistency in the work being done outside of Fall League. Athletes are taking the skills we work on, applying them on their own, and it’s showing. We’re seeing more confidence, better decision-making, and continued growth each week.

That’s what this is all about — putting in the work and watching it translate to the game.

We’re looking forward to having everyone back in the gym this Sunday!
