THE NORTHWEST MAGIC STANDARD

We are not interested in simply putting teams on the floor.

We are building players.

Northwest Magic athletes are challenged to develop:

Skill.
Basketball IQ.
Confidence.
Accountability.
Leadership.
Competitive toughness.
Preparation habits.

Talent matters.

But habits, preparation and consistency determine what happens next.

BUILT BY THE STANDARD.

NATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

Northwest Magic athletes have opportunities to compete locally, regionally and nationally.

Our highest-level teams are built for athletes ready for advanced competition, increased commitment and national exposure.

Our youth girls pathway includes Nike Jr. EYBL opportunities, while our high school program continues to prepare athletes for high-level circuit competition, recruiting exposure and college basketball.

The goal is not simply to be seen.

The goal is to be prepared when the opportunity comes.

RECRUITING & COLLEGE PREPARATION

DEVELOPING COLLEGE-READY PLAYERS

At Northwest Magic, recruiting is a process — not a promise.

Our responsibility is to help athletes become recruitable, not simply visible.

That means developing the skills, basketball IQ, physical preparation, habits, academics, character and understanding required to contribute at the next level.

We provide athletes and families with honest evaluation, education, competitive opportunities and guidance throughout the recruiting process.

We don’t chase offers.
We prepare players for opportunities.

NORTHWEST MAGIC IS GROWING

TACOMA • PUGET SOUND • PORTLAND

Season 21 represents another step forward for Northwest Magic.

Our program continues to grow throughout the Pacific Northwest, including our expansion into the Portland area.

The vision remains the same across every Northwest Magic location:

One development philosophy.
One standard.
More opportunities for players.

We are building connections between athletes, coaches and teams throughout the region while creating additional pathways to local, regional and national competition.

MORE THAN BASKETBALL

Northwest Magic has always been about more than tournaments and wins.

It is players supporting players.

Families supporting families.

Coaches investing in athletes.

Former Magic players coming back to support the next generation.

Young players watching the athletes ahead of them and realizing what is possible.

That is how a basketball program becomes a basketball family.

WELCOME TO NORTHWEST MAGIC.

RECRUITING PHILOSOPHY

At Northwest Magic, recruiting is a process — not a promise.

As a college development program, our role is to prepare athletes to be recruitable, not just visible. Everything we do — training, competition, exposure, and mentorship — is designed to help players develop the skills, habits, and mindset required to earn opportunities and make an impact at the next level.

Our recruiting philosophy is built on the following principles:

Development Comes First
Players must be able to produce and contribute at a high level. Skill development, basketball IQ, physical preparation, and role understanding are prioritized long before recruitment conversations begin.
Right Platforms, Right Timing
We place athletes on national circuits and competitive stages that align with their readiness and long-term goals. Exposure is intentional — not rushed.
Honest Evaluation & Guidance
We provide realistic feedback to players and families about level, fit, and next steps. Our goal is to help athletes find the right opportunity, not just any opportunity.

Academic & Character Standards Matter
College coaches recruit people, not just players. We emphasize academics, accountability, coachability, and leadership as essential parts of the recruiting journey.
Preparation to Impact
Our mission is not only to help athletes get recruited, but to ensure they are prepared to play, contribute, and succeed once they arrive at the high school and collegiate levels.

Recruiting success at Northwest Magic is a result of consistent work, discipline, patience, and trust in the process. We partner with families every step of the way, providing education, communication, and support throughout the journey.

We don’t chase offers — we prepare athletes to earn them.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

Our premier basketball player development program is unmatched in offering year-round training. NW Magic offers a variety of athletic training programs for those who are serious about taking their talents to the next level. We are focused on proper decision making in game like situations, individual offensive and defensive skills development, strength, speed, and agility training. We prepare our young athletes to compete at their highest level by teaching them skills that are integral to properly transition to collegiate and professional levels.

EXPOSURE & RECRUITING ASSISTANCE

Magic is known for developing college ready players. Depending on the tournament, we receive notice from 50 to 150 colleges stating that they will be attending our games. This combined with the power of Nike EYCL & Elite 40 Boys is great exposure for our athletes. We, at Magic, will work tireless with a family to find the institution that is a fit for the athlete.

PRACTICE & TRAINING CAMP

Weekly practices, Offensive & Defensive Skills,Shooting sessions, Agility & Strength training programs are offered year-round. During the High School travel season and prior to the NCAA viewing period events, NW Magic members participate in a series of mini camps and weeklong pro-style training camps. Training Camps ensures player and team development, while team-building activities enhance the bonding experience that has fortified our reputation as a NW MAGIC FAMILY!

staff members

NW Magic maintains the highest standards of integrity for our staff members. Our criteria or selection process for choosing coaches is evident in all of our coaches' appearance, demeanor, and interaction with your child. All NW Magic coaches are experienced, knowledgeable professionals who have proven ability to teach and develop young athletes. Throughout the training process, each athlete will be encouraged, valued, and respected. The player’s welfare and success is always our primary concern.
