Practices and workouts began for kids ages 4-10 starting in January. We started competing in leagues and tournaments with our 10u, 9u, 8u & 6u teams in Canton, Detroit, Highland Park, Southfield, Warren and Flint. We are constantly growing as an organization, and in the process our kids are learning how to play the game with a sense of discipline. In less than a year, we had over 50 kids participating in practices and games through Michigan Playmakers.

As of March 2012 we have become Michigan's Premier basketball organization. Our outstanding parent support, amazing team of coaches, and committed athletes have all helped us to achieve and hold onto this title. At this point, we were able to run our leagues, camps, clinics, and tournaments year-round throughout the entire country. We'd also added U14 and U16 teams in an effort to become more competitive within the state of Michigan.

All of our age groups were competing across the country at high-level tournaments. Our U16 and U17 teams played on all four NCAA certified weekends in Indianapolis, Chicago, Cincinnati and Las Vegas. This gave the kids great exposure in addition to allowing them scholarship opportunities at the Division I, II, III and NAIA levels. Additionally, our younger kids were playing against some of the best competition in the country including teams from Maryland, New York, Indiana, and more.

Playmakers had become one of the premier independent youth organizations in the country! We began our Lady Michigan Playmakers program in the fall of 2019’ and have now have 6 girls teams. Our boys program has helped 100+ kids get into school on athletic and/or academic scholarships. Our evolution over the last decade has been directly connected to the strong parent commitment and family-first environment. The mentorship from our coaches is second to none in the southeastern Michigan area! Our motto is simple - “Lead by Example”
