A New Chapter for Fundamental U

ElevateBB_BLK_BNNR.png

As we continue to grow and elevate the opportunities for our players, we are proud to announce Elevate – the newest branch of the Fundamental U Family, competing on the prestigious Under Armour Association (UAA) circuit. While Fundamental U will continue to represent our program on the UA Rise circuit, Elevate will provide our highest-level players the chance to compete at the highest level of national grassroots basketball.

 

Elevate will not only expand our program but also deepen our commitment to excellence. Players selected for Elevate will practice alongside and with the Fundamental U teams, maintaining the unity and values that define the FU Family. Tryouts for Fundamental U will also serve as tryouts for Elevate, ensuring that all players have a clear pathway within our program.

 

This new chapter is more than just another team; it’s a commitment to fostering the highest standards of competition, development, and community. Through Elevate, we aim to amplify our mission to serve players who are ready to reach new heights and embrace the challenge of playing at the national level.

 

Together, Fundamental U and Elevate will continue to provide comprehensive, top-tier development and support for our athletes, making our program & our players stronger than ever.
