"To instill discipline, routine, respect, and allow our players to learn that consistency in training is what will show up in the game. Repetitiveness, and hard work will always out work talent."
Kameron Vales and Miriam Segura founded Elite Division Basketball Skills Training and Performance in 2022. Miriam comes from a background in education and community work, and Kameron, well, of course - the pro basketball player. Both being 209 natives and raised athletes they always dreamed of being business owners while being able to make a difference in their community by spreading their love for sports and how sports can positively impact a child's life, education, character and career. "We believe sports build character, work ethic, socio-emotional wellness, beat anxiety and depression, instill respect and discipline, and prepare us for life in general. There is so much importance in parents enrolling and committing to their child playing sports. It is one thing that we can guarantee will pay off in the child's adult life and will be a staple they will hold onto forever." Miriam and Kameron are grateful for every foot that walks into Elite Division, and is excited to continue to grow in Lodi, CA!

Our skill development classes are for boys and girls, ages 8-17. Each class will utilize high quality instruction on our indoor court to simulate game situations, identify weaknesses and gain positive results through efficient repetitions. Trainer Kameron studies various types of scenarios to constantly challenge each athlete to deliver and improve confidence on and off the court. Our Natural Juice Bar located inside allows athletes to come refuel and refocus, right after practice when its most important for their bodies. Parents can also sit around the bar area and enjoy a healthy meal while their children train. Our goal is to complete our weight room by the end of 2022 for athletes to take on strength training in house as well.
