RAWW Hoops operates using a three-tier development model designed to meet athletes where they are and support long-term growth. Athletes are evaluated and placed based on skill level, work ethic, coachability, and overall commitment—not just current performance.

Our tiers include Building, Rising, and Warrior.

• Building focuses on individual skill development and foundational training.

• Rising supports athletes working toward the next level, offering increased training intensity and exposure to competitive environments.

• Warrior is for athletes ready for higher-level competition, including structured game play and tournament participation.

Evaluations take place on a seasonal basis, aligned with the AAU competitive calendar to maximize peak exposure opportunities. While formal evaluations follow this cadence, our coaches continuously assess and challenge athletes throughout the season. Placement is earned and may evolve as players grow and develop. Our goal is to ensure every athlete is appropriately challenged, fully supported, and positioned for success at each stage of their journey.
