Frequently asked
questions

Do you hold tryouts?

No. Blade does not hold official tryouts — registration is open to any child who wants to join. After registration, evaluation practices are used to place players on the roster that suits their skill level.

What does it cost to join for Fall 2026?

These are the live prices on Blade's LeagueApps portal: Boys rising 2nd–3rd $425, Boys rising 4th–8th $550, Girls rising 2nd–8th $465, High School Fall Ball (9th–10th) $400, and Skills Only $300. Payment plans are available on team registrations. Blade's website separately quotes historical ranges of $425–$775 for developmental and $550–$750 for elite teams across seasons; the five figures above are what is actually on sale for this fall.

How much is a single skills session?

$30 for one hour, confirmed live on LeagueApps — 20 spots per session, Mondays 6:30–7:30 PM and Tuesdays 6:00–7:00 PM at Bishop Lynch High School, bookable through December 2026. A full-season Skills Pass is $300, and registered team players can add skills for +$200.

What does 1:1 training with Coach Greg cost?

$160 per hour for an individual or a partner session (up to 2 players — two players pay the same as one), and $200 per hour for a small group of 3–4 players. Sessions cover ball-handling, footwork, shooting, finishing and basketball-specific agility.

Is everything booked through LeagueApps?

Almost. Club teams, skills-only, high-school fall ball, camps, weekly group-skills bookings and the swag store are all on LeagueApps. 1:1 and small-group training is the exception — you submit a form on bladebasketball.com and pay by Venmo to @Bladeskills.

What ages and grades do you accept?

Blade serves players aged 7–18, boys and girls. Club teams are structured around rising 2nd through 8th grade, with a Saturday-only package for rising 9th and 10th grade boys. Skills training and camps are open to all ages in that range regardless of team membership.

Where do practices and games take place?

Practices run at Bishop Lynch High School, Lakehill Prep, Zion Lutheran and Lakewood Presbyterian, and skills sessions are currently at Bishop Lynch. Games are at Ryse Starcenter in Farmers Branch, Sportsplex and FieldhouseUSA. Blade's own site still advertises skills at The DEN, 1411 N. Peak St.; LeagueApps currently schedules every Monday and Tuesday session at Bishop Lynch instead.

When does the Fall 2026 season run?

23 August to 7 November 2026. Regular registration ran 12 July to 30 August 2026 for club teams, and closed 18 August for High School Fall Ball. Boys practise Wednesday evenings; girls have Monday skills at 5:30 PM and Tuesday skills plus practice at 5:30 PM. League play is on Sundays with occasional Saturdays — 8 to 10 regular-season games plus playoffs.

Are any camps running right now?

No. All Summer 2026 camps — the June mini camps, the June/July 4-day camp and Summer Camp II on 20–23 July — have finished, and the LeagueApps camps index currently reads “No programs at this time”. When they return: $185 for a 4-day camp, $80 for a 2-day mini camp, $55 and $50 for single-day drop-ins respectively.

What is the SandersFit partnership?

Blade players get access to SandersFit Performance Center, a 12,000 sq ft athlete-development facility at 1409 Botham Jean Blvd in Downtown Dallas, founded by former San Antonio Spur Melvin Sanders. Strength and conditioning, speed and agility, physical therapy and recovery. No price is published for this — it is arranged by email. See Partners.

Can businesses sponsor Blade?

Yes — four tiers, all per season: Title from $2,500 (logo on a team's uniforms, website spotlight, monthly social features), Gold $1,000, Silver $500 and Bronze $250. Custom packages are offered. Enquiries go to info@bladebasketball.com.
