Evaluations & Player Assessments
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 athletes ages 10 and older are strongly encouraged to complete an evaluation before beginning training. This ensures placement into the most appropriate program for their skill level and goals.
Book an Evaluation!
At Iron Courts, we evaluate athletes in ten (10) core areas that include competitiveness, fundamentals, intangibles and basketball IQ.
New Player Evaluations are done during our Wednesday Academy or Club series. We also offer Game Evalutions for anyone that has games at Iron Courts. This is great for Rec Players in our Rec League but also for Icons players or any other Club player in our Club League.

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 “CB” 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. 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.
