Blaze Basketball Club

From this day forward our organization will be known as the Blaze Basketball Club.  We are excited to announce that we have been granted 501c3 status as a Not For Profit entity which will enable us to seek and accept outside financial support in the form of 100% tax deductible donations.

Our goal is to build the absolute best program and provide the most robust AAU experience for all of our athletes.  The additional funding raised via the generosity of these tax deductible donations will allow us to execute our vision much sooner and on a greater scale than originally anticipated.

For now the website will remain similar to what you see here, although it will soon be reachable by the domains www.BlazeBasketballClub.com and www.Blaze-Basketball.com.  A brand new web site is in the early development stages and we will keep you posted on its progress.

Thank you all for your assistance and support.
It is always appreciated and never forgotten.

KYLE ANDERSON'S EXCLUSIVE IYB WORKOUT

Kent Culuko has been training McDonald's All-American, KYLE ANDERSON for the past 5 years.  IYB Has expanded it's already impressive line-up of trainers by adding DJ Sackmann and Benjamin Allen to the mix.

Kyle, has lost just 4 games in his High School career and just 1 in the last 3 seasons.  The amount of work and dedication invested by him on his game, has produced one of the top players, if not the best high school player in the country.

We charted his every shot during the workout and he made an incredible 79% including shots from behind the arch during live drills.  As a 6'8" Point Guard, the ceiling for success is limitless for this young man who will be attending UCLA in the fall of 2012.

KYLE ANDERSON - McDONALDS ALL-AMERICAN

CONGRATULATIONS TO KYLE ANDERSON on being selected as a 

McDonalds All-American student athlete for the class of 2012.

Kyle has trained with Kent Culuko and IYB since his early grade school years and 

his team, ST. Anthony's has just repeated as TOC of NJ CHAMPIONS.

Listen as LeBron James narrates his introduction and see what makes Kyle not only a 

great player but also a great person.  With hard work, dedication, and a great support

 group around him, there is no telling how high his star can rise.  

Kyle will be attending UCLA in the fall and hopefully an NBA arena near you shortly 

after.
