PLAN FOR GROWTH AND EXPANSION

FACTS: 6 of 25 girls in the Detroit Free Press All State & Dream Team played Fastbreak Local High Schools had unprecedented regular season & State Tournament success Fastbreak currently has 3 defending State Champions

OURVISION We feel that the success of our program is due to our philosophy that training is greater than playing and that developing a skill set is key. This is what separates Michigan Fastbreak from other clubs.

MIDMICHIGAN METRODETROIT Midland Bay City Saginaw Grosse Pointe Mt. Clemens

MIDMICHIGAN Expand the Midland Area base to include Bay City and Saginaw. Use facilities at local schools and Delta College. METRODETROIT Expand through the Grosse Pointe Neighborhood Club as well as Mt. Clemens. Use Grosse Pointe Middle and High School facilities.

MIDMICHIGAN The goal is to have 2 teams in Division 1 & 2 for grades 5 th -11 th Division 1 Team plays State Tournament Division 2 Teams stop at Spring Break METRODETROIT 1-2 teams in grades 5 th - 11 th with possibility of Divisions Division 1 Team plays State Tournament Division 2 Teams stop at Spring Break

MIDMICHIGAN Teams get 2 practices a week (1) in Midland, (1) in Bay City) & 1 training a week.

Fastbreak Tournaments will be run locally METRODETROIT Teams would get 2 practices a week and 1 training a week in Grosse Pointe. Periodic practices will take place between MidMichigan & MetroDetroit to help coaches formulate plans for the spring & summer teams. Fastbreak Tournaments will be run locally

MERGETEAMS When the season ends after the State Tournament we will hold tryouts for a spring/summer team. Players trying out must have played Fastbreak in Midland or Grosse Pointe.

OUR GOAL: 2-3 FASTBREAK TEAMS IN EACH AGE TOP TEAM Competes NATIONALLY 2ND TEAM Competes REGIONALLY 3RD TEAM Competes STATE/LOCALLY

WHYMERGE Midland needs Grosse Pointe for population (kids interested in continuing playing) while Grosse Pointe needs Midland for our Fastbreak brand (a proven program with success that is run the right way)

We can pull the best talent in Mid-Michigan and Detroit so our kids can compete at National and Regional Tournaments.

Players who want to continue playing after the State Tournament are able to continue playing for Fastbreak.

Merging the teams will increase the pool of players and provide coaches with players for the spring season.

Bob Taylor would have direct control over both locations and will continue to train and develop both teams.

A percentage of Fastbreak profits will go directly back into the program to benefit our players.

Players will receive discounts to basketball camps, clinics and events such as Point Guard College.
