    Youth Development Program
    The Grind Session

    In partnership with FIBA’s Youth Development Program, The Grind Session is the first-ever winter circuit for elite high school basketball players. Nearly 3,000 Grind Session players have gone on to play in college or the NBA. Some of the circuit’s more notable alumni include Jason Tatum (Boston Celtics), LaMelo Ball (Charlotte Hornets), DeAndre Ayton (Portland Trail Blazers), Paolo Banchero (Orlando Magic), Jalen Green (Houston Rockets), and Jamal Murray (Denver Nuggets), among numerous others. This program accelerates youth development across the U.S. and beyond.
