EVALUATIONS

Performed by Director of Player Development, former NBA player Craig Brackins, Evaluations take place at Iron Courts weekly. The evaluation assesses the athlete’s current level, strengths/weaknesses, and goals. All players 10 & up are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to be evaluated before training at Iron Courts. This is the best way to get placed into the appropriate training program.

Basketball Academy in Gilbert

At Iron Courts, we have a unique and specific approach to evaluate players and fast track them to excellence. We evaluate athletes in ten (10) core areas that include competitiveness, fundamentals, intangibles and basketball IQ.

We have three types of evaluations at Iron Courts. Open Combine Evaluations are done during our Wednesday Academy or Club series. These are the best way to start at Iron Courts. They are helpful for learning which areas to focus on and which skill group the athlete should be in. Evaluations take approximately two sessions. Academy Members can purchase an evaluation or re-evaluation for just $49.

We also have Workout Evaluations geared for one to four athletes done during the week. These are for elite athletes not participating in the Wednesday Academy or Club series. These evaluations help players identify goals and areas to work on, and provide them with additional access to former NBA Player Craig Brackins to mentor them long term. Evaluations take 30-45 mins and done with 1-4 athletes at a time.

Last, we offer Game Evalutions for anyone that has games at Iron Courts on Saturdays. This is great for Rec Players in our Rec League but also for Icons players or any other Club player in our Club League. This is only $59 and Craig Brackins will come watch your athlete’s game and perform the evaluation. 

Evaluations are completed by former NBA Pro Craig Brackins. They can be done as Open Combine or Workout.

Following the completion of your evaluation, you will receive a printed copy of your report and the next steps to continue training! 

What do I need to bring to my evaluation?

Basketball shoes and athletic clothes. 

Do I need an evaluation to train at Iron Courts?

We STRONGLY RECOMMEND an evaluation for all players ages 10+. This will allow us to properly plan their training regimen at Iron Courts. Evaluations can be done as Open Combine or Workout (see above).

Why do I need an evaluation?

Our evaluation assesses the skill level of a player and since our training groups are divided by skill rather than age or gender, we can more accurately place them in an appropriate training group. Our evaluations are done by former NBA player Craig Brackins and will help players clarify and achieve their goals. 

How much is an evaluation?

Led by Former NBA Pro Craig Brackins, the evaluation, printed copy of report, and training plan is $99. This is done as Open Combine (in 2 sessions) or Workout (30-45 mins with 1-4 athletes). Academy Members can purchase evaluation or re-evaluation for $49. We also have a Game evaluation. Craig Brackins will come watch a Saturday game at Iron Courts for Rec or Club athletes for $59.
