Our Story
We have been empowering youth athletes in the Central New York area for over 10 years.
Throughout this time, we have taught and grown players who have gone on to play Division II and III basketball — as well as overseas.
Our focus is building elite teams, while also catering to all athletes willing to learn and improve their game. Last year, we fielded 12 competitive teams, capped at 8–10 players per team, with a unique coach for each team.
We believe teams should have their own coach rather than splitting a coach's time between multiple teams. This allows coaches to tailor practice plans and focus on a set group of kids for a full spring season, instead of juggling multiple ages and skill levels. Capping teams at 10 players (most teams last year carried 8) also creates more chances for player development.
MVE's Goal
Our program was built with one clear goal: to develop Central New York's top basketball players and prepare them for the next level.
Elite, position-specific training that builds players from the ground up.
Relationships with college programs and major scouting services across the country.
Players learn to compete, lead, and prepare for opportunities at the next level.
Coaches who are current or former college players invest in each athlete's growth.
Over the years, we've proudly become the area's leading youth basketball organization in producing alumni who go on to play at the high school and collegiate level. No other program in the area has helped more players take that next step.
