At Rise as One Basketball Club, our mission is clear: to foster player development and nurture every athlete’s potential. Our team of dedicated coaches and trainers is committed to providing tailored resources and expert guidance, helping each player to excel in technical skills, physical fitness, and basketball IQ. We create a supportive yet challenging environment that emphasizes teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. These values not only enhance performance on the court but also instill life lessons that shape our athletes into well-rounded individuals. At AAU Basketball Club, we strive to empower our players to rise as one, achieving excellence both as competitors and as people.
The Rise as One AAU basketball program is a development-focused program that prioritizes long-term growth over quick results. For athletes seeking immediate success, this may not be the AAU program for them. Our program has consistently produced successful athletes who have dedicated 3-7 years to developing their skills and basketball IQ. It is this commitment to continuous improvement that has resulted in our players being recognized as some of the best in the region, and even in the highly competitive state of New Jersey.
The program has been meticulously crafted by Kevin Houston, drawing from his extensive experience playing in the European professional leagues. Having been a part of top European basketball academies, Houston has gained valuable insights into how players are developed and nurtured. This unique system has proven to be highly effective in producing exceptional talent from non-traditional basketball regions. The results achieved by the program are a testament to dedicated parents, players, and the organization, with players consistently demonstrating exceptional skill and performance.

This continues to be the best basketball experience for my daughter. She is challenged and exposed to high-level tournaments and showcases. Kevin personally takes time out to encourage and push her to the next level. She has grown not only as a player but as a person because of Rise as One. Kevin‘s focus on personal responsibility teambuilding and training has impacted my daughter on and off the court. Also, I highly recommend this program to anyone who is dedicated to the game and wants to train for the next level.
This is such an amazing basketball family. Ben is having great success with Rise. Every coach is so patient and encouraging. Ben’s confidence level has soared and they are teaching him how to shoot correctly. Nothing but great things to say about Rise. One of the best choices we could’ve made for Ben. He has learned so much and has developed a new love for the sport and the competition. Thank you, Coach Kevin, all your dedication it is noticed.
