About Us

Founded in 2009 by two former Davidson College and overseas professional players, Pro Skills Basketball began as a summer camp in Charlotte, NC. What started small has grown to over 250 Club Teams and 100+ Camps and Clinics annually across 28 US cities, all with the mission to change the culture of youth basketball for the better.

In 2017, PSB was recognized by the Junior NBA as one of the top 15 youth basketball organizations in the US and officially joined its Flagship Network.

City Director Job Description

Pro Skills Basketball is looking for the “Navy Seals” of youth basketball, and specifically somebody who can kickstart and lead our program in the Twin Cities.

Please excuse the military comparison, but we are looking for the best-of-the-best youth basketball leaders to become our next City Directors in new geographic markets. We are looking for men and women of high character and grit who see the problems in youth basketball and want to join an elite team focused on a singular mission: to change the culture of youth basketball.

And like the Seals, this job is not easy, glamorous, or often fun. In fact, it’s really hard and very few have the desire, passion, and fortitude to make it work, but for those that do, it is often the most rewarding and fulfilling job of their career.

Starting initially as a part-time paid position, we are looking for someone who wants to work in youth basketball full time, as the goal for the Minneapolis Director is to grow it to the point where it can be a full-time job.

Pro Skills Basketball City Directors all:

Have a strong knowledge of basketball with a passion for teaching, coaching, and mentoring
Are willing to commit time and effort outside of their full-time job to building PSB to one day being big enough to support a full-time City Director position
Work well with a team and are reliable, organized, and communicative. Our leaders can follow instructions to a T, are rarely late or absent, and communicate in a clear and timely manner with all stakeholders
Are constantly looking to improve and grow themselves and their PSB city
Confidently and professionally manage and control all on-court and business operations of PSB in that city
Always ensure the physical and psychological safety of all participants
Understand they are the face of Pro Skills Basketball in that city and project values that align with PSB
Genuinely care for children’s development
Provide and foster a positive and professional coaching environment for players, parents, and staff

The responsibilities of a City Director are many, and include but are not limited to:

Starting from zero, building PSB in Minneapolis and working to grow the number of players/teams year over year
Hiring, managing, and retaining the highest quality of coaches
Organizing, arranging and communicating practice, workout, and game schedules for all teams
Registering teams for tournaments and leagues
Finding gym space and managing all gym rental agreements for practices, clinics and workouts
Keeping operating expenses in line with the city budget
Executing grassroots marketing strategies
Contributing to PSB social media accounts according to PSB guidelines
Respectfully and clearly handling problems and issues as they arise

We repeat: This job is hard. PSB’s Support Staff helps to make it simple for our City
Directors, but that doesn't mean the work is easy. We cannot stress this enough - being a PSB City Director is often a grind requiring an extraordinary amount of hustle. It’s truly not for everyone. In fact, it’s not for most people.

However, maybe you are one of the few who is willing to join a high-performing team committed to changing the culture of youth basketball? Do you think you have what it takes?

If so, then apply today!
