Matt Paul Basketball is a Philadelphia-area youth basketball organization founded and run by Coach Matt Paul, a Gold Medal Certified USA Basketball Coach with 22+ years of community presence in the Philadelphia basketball ecosystem. Operating under SIAC Corp, MP Basketball runs six programs — Fun & Fundamentals, Summer League, Summer Camp, Team MP AAU, Fall League, and MP Training — under the tagline Develop. Compete. Lead.

MP Basketball serves players from ages 5 through high school. Fun & Fundamentals is for ages 5–7. Summer Camp is for ages 8–15. Summer League runs four divisions — Youth (ages 7–10), Girls, Middle School (ages 10–14), and High School (Varsity & JV). Team MP AAU is for players in grades 4–11. Training is for serious players ready to put in real work.

Summer Camp is held at St. Philip Neri Gymnasium in Lafayette Hill, PA. Summer League and Fall League are held outdoors at McKelvie Park in Oreland, PA (Springfield Township). Team MP AAU practices at four locations: Center City, Chestnut Hill, Fort Washington, and Springhouse. Training sessions — contact us for the current location.

Most MP Basketball programs are open to both boys and girls. The Summer League features a dedicated Girls Division on Wednesdays, presented by the Power Forward Foundation. Summer Camp, Fun & Fundamentals, and Team MP AAU welcome all players.

Yes. The Power Forward Foundation (PFF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit partnered with MP Basketball, exists to make youth basketball accessible to families facing financial barriers. Contact us at matt@mattpaulbasketball.com to discuss scholarship and financial assistance options.

MP Summer Camp runs two weeks — July 6–10 and July 13–17, 2026, Monday through Friday at St. Philip Neri Gymnasium in Lafayette Hill, PA.

AM Session (ages 8–11): 9:00a – 12:00p · PM Session (ages 12–15): 12:30p – 3:30p. Each session runs Monday–Friday. Register for the session that fits your player's age group.

$250 per session, per week. Register for one week or both. No requirement to attend multiple weeks, though players who attend both weeks see greater development.

Ages 8–11 → AM Session (9:00a–12:00p). Focused on fundamentals, movement, and building a foundation in a fun, high-energy environment.

Ages 12–15 → PM Session (12:30p–3:30p). More competitive, position-specific, and game-IQ focused for players who want to develop at a higher level.

With 24 players we run four stations of six players each — more touches, more reps, more coaching per player. Bigger camps mean standing in line. We don't do that.

Basketball shoes, athletic clothing, a water bottle, a ball for warm-up, and a snack. The gym is indoors — dress comfortably.

The Oreland Summer League runs June 22 – August 6, 2026 at McKelvie Park in Oreland, PA (Springfield Township). Games are played outdoors under the lights.

Four divisions: Youth (ages 7–10), Girls Division (Wednesdays, presented by Power Forward Foundation), Middle School (ages 10–14), and High School (Varsity & JV). There's a place for every age and every level.

No game clock, no shot clock — just play until the first team scores 100. It keeps the pace fast, the action constant, and every player running. It's what makes the Oreland Summer League unlike any other league in the area.

Yes — Summer League teams have coaches and trained referees. This isn't pickup basketball. Players are placed on rosters, coached through the season, and compete in a real league format.

Weather updates go out via TeamSnap and our social channels — Instagram @MattPaulBasketball and Facebook. If you're unsure about a game day, check TeamSnap first.

Yes — the MP Fall Outdoor League runs in the fall at McKelvie Park. Summer League players get first access to Fall registration. Visit the Leagues page for details.

Team MP is our AAU travel program for committed players in grades 4–11. It's not a pay-to-play program. It's a basketball development environment where players learn the game, work hard, and compete with teammates who match their commitment. Every player who joins Team MP is expected to play like a Dawg — one standard across the entire program.

Team MP is tryout-based. Register for a tryout, attend the structured evaluation with MP coaches, and we'll notify families within a few days of team selection. Tryout registration opens before each season — visit the Team MP page or email us to get on the list.

Team MP starts at 4th grade and runs through 11th grade. Teams are capped at 8 players — more reps, more touches, faster development.

Two practices per week at four locations — Center City, Chestnut Hill, Fort Washington, and Springhouse. Fall and spring seasons. We practice first. Development first. Competition follows.

Yes. 10% off your 2nd player, 20% off your 3rd, and 25% off your 4th+ — automatically applied at checkout when registered under the same parent account.

Team MP runs fall and spring seasons — with practices, local tournaments, and travel events. The season is built around player development first and competition second.

MP Training is for serious players chasing a breakthrough — players who want to earn a spot on a varsity, travel, or elite team and are willing to put in real work. If you're ready to commit, this is where the work happens.

Three formats: Small Group Training (2–4 players) for competitive group work, Position Clinics for guard, wing, and post-specific skill development, and Film Sessions for basketball IQ development through game film breakdown.

Coach Matt Paul leads all basketball skills training — 22+ years coaching in Philadelphia, Gold Medal Certified USA Basketball Coach.

Training is by inquiry only. Email matt@mattpaulbasketball.com and we'll set up a conversation about your player's goals, schedule, and the right format before booking.
