Tryouts/Clinics
Heat Basketball is built with competitive travel teams for athletes ready to work, grow, and compete at a high level. While prior team experience is helpful, it's not required. What matters most is hustle, heart, and coachability.
Tryouts will be held in mid-December. Exact dates and details closer to season.
Please note: These are tryouts, not sign-ups. We have limited roster spots, and not all athletes will be selected.
Our goal is to build teams that can train hard and compete confidently — while fostering growth, accountability, and respect. If you're ready to bring the heat, we want to see you on the court.
Clinics
NEW THIS SEASON: We plan to offer one or two skill development clinics during the season, open to both Heat athletes and local players looking to sharpen their game. More info coming soon!
