Girls NXTPRO | Blades of Hoop

The NXTPRO Circuit is a dynamic series of events culminating in national championships for 15u - 17u age divisions, with additional leagues for 12u - 14u.

NXT League:

Serves as a competitive tier, with teams working towards earning sponsorship.
Competes in the same venues as PRO16 teams, allowing college coaches to scout both leagues easily.
NXT teams will face PRO16 teams during the season, providing them a chance to prove their capabilities.
These sessions occur on both non-live and NCAA live periods, bringing in hundreds of college coaches to watch, evaluate, and recruit players to their college programs.

Ranking System:
At the end of the regular season, teams are ranked using the NXTPRO algorithm, considering wins/losses, strength of schedule, and point differentials. These rankings determine participation in the national tournament.

NXT League National Championship:

Held in July, inviting the top 100 NXT teams.
Winners earn promotion to the PRO16 League and receive sponsorship for the following year.

Goals and Opportunities:

The NXTPRO Circuit aims to provide players in both leagues with valuable exposure and competitive experiences.

The NXT teams specifically focus on:

Increasing visibility to college coaches.
Competing at the appropriate level of competition.
Cultivating talent that can successfully transition to the PRO16 League.

With an emphasis on growth and opportunity, the NXTPRO Circuit is designed to help young athletes reach their full potential while navigating their journey to collegiate basketball.
