| Public Questions | | Q. How does a club team differ from a high school team? | Club basketball is a compliment to the student athlete's High School Program. For the 14/U,15/U and Jr. Division- High school girls who are not yet Seniors, the season begins after the current High School season is over, and typically running from March through the month of July. The Fieldhouse Attack Hoops program is focused on preparing the student athlete for the level of play demanded by NCAA Division I programs. There are certain dates that change from year to year in which college recruiters can evaluate prospective athletes for their college programs. The Fieldhouse sponors a huge event in the July just for such recruitment, called the The Fieldhouse USBF College coaches Summer Classic, played at the Fieldhouse in Fishers, Indiana. This tournament falls in the July Evaluation period. We also travel during the club season and attend some of the best events for college recruitment around the country.

| | Q. What is the focus of the Attack Hoops Program? | As a program we have shifted our focus away from just playing as many games as possible, to one more toward the fundamental skill development of our players in all divisions. We have found that college coaches start their evaluation process as young as the seventh and eigth grade, to get a head start in the recruiting process. We need to be training our student athletes toward the collegiate goal incorporating strong fundamental training along with the highest level of competitive play. This understanding is apparent in all of our coaches as we are continually improving our knowledge base to aid in the athlete's development. Players are trying to get noticed by college coaches and they believe that the best way to get seen is to go out and play as many games as possible. And that’s what they’re being sold. In reality the fact that if a player’s not good enough it doesn’t matter how much exposure they get. “Skill development is becoming less and less important in club basketball but we believe that somewhere in this system, there needs to be a new energized focus on this skill development, and we will provide it," said 'Attack Hoops' Coach Dwain Wall.
