Pricing.
Three Ways In.
Same price at every location. What differs is how many nights each gym offers — and with All-Access, not even that.
What It Costs.
Every price below covers the complete eight-week fall season. Players register as individuals — no roster, no tryout, no evaluation. Everyone is grouped by skill and developmental fit rather than age alone, and regrouped as they grow.
Start Small. Upgrade Any Time.
This is our first fall running four gyms and the first season All-Access exists, and we would rather you try it than agonize over which tier to pick. So we have made it hard to get this wrong.
Start with one night. If your player wants more, move up to two nights or All-Access whenever you like — we credit everything you have already paid toward the new tier. You never pay twice for the same season.
Come to the first two sessions. If it is not right for your player, email us and we will refund you in full. No form, no conversation you have to talk your way through.
Not sure what a session actually looks like? Email matt@mattpaulbasketball.com and come stand on the sideline for one before you register. Ten minutes in the gym beats any website.
Two nights can be at two different gyms — Friday in Center City and Monday in Chestnut Hill is still $295 / $330 / $450. Center City Fridays begin September 11.
More Basketball.
Less Windshield.
Don't measure a fall season by how many tournaments you entered. Measure it by how much your player improved — and by what the eight weeks actually cost you in time, not just in dollars.
A tournament weekend takes the weekend. Check in at 8 AM, play at 10, wait, play again at 4, drive home. Do that six or eight times and most of your fall is spent in a gym parking lot two hours from your house.
MP is a weeknight close to home and three weekend dates where you play two games and go. The rest of your Saturday stays yours.
Fifty minutes of live play is not fifty minutes of standing in a line. Sessions are built so the ball keeps moving and everyone is playing — no drill queues, no coach talking while fourteen players stand still.
Shots, touches, decisions and meaningful possessions, every night. That is the whole product, and it is why one night a week here moves a player more than two practices somewhere else.
USA Gold Certified coaches who see your player week after week, so the coaching builds instead of restarting. Groups are set by skill and developmental fit, then adjusted as players grow.
Nobody is stuck guarding someone three years older, and nobody coasts against someone three years behind. In a tournament, the matchup is whatever the bracket hands you — and the referee is on his eighth straight game.
Sessions, weekend games, coaching and your pinny — all in. No hotel nights, no tournament entry fees, no tank of gas to a gym you have never heard of in a town you had to look up.
All-Access at $495 is a player training four nights a week for eight weeks. That is under $16 a session, with weekend games and a $60 backpack already included.
They get better on the floor.

Weekend Basketball.
Weekend Training & Games is an optional add-on for one- and two-night registrations, and is already included with All-Access. Three weekends across the fall season — not every weekend — with each date usually two games back to back, so a player finishes with roughly six real games on a coached team.
Three weekend dates, roughly six games. Puppy Dawgs and Dawgs play in-house games in Chestnut Hill or Spring House — MP teams against MP teams, our coaches on both benches. Team MP plays local games and AAU tournaments, including Shoot Hoops in King of Prussia. Dates go out at least two weeks ahead and are scheduled around fall soccer and flag football.
One weekend date instead of the full add-on. Same games, same coaches — a way to try it before committing to all three. Add it at checkout or email us any time during the season.
Which Tier Fits.
A full season of coached basketball without rearranging your week. Right for a first-time player, a family already carrying another fall sport, or anyone testing whether this is their thing. Plenty of our families do exactly this and nothing more.
The jump where improvement gets visible. Twice a week is enough repetition for coaching to build week over week instead of resetting. The two nights can be at two different gyms, so you can work around the rest of the calendar.
For the family whose week never looks the same twice, and the player who wants to be in a gym as often as possible. If soccer takes Tuesday, come Wednesday instead — nothing to reschedule and nothing extra to pay. Weekends, backpack and winter discount are already in.
The Details.
Locations. SCH Academy (Mondays) and Norwood-Fontbonne (Thursdays) in Chestnut Hill; Gwynedd Mercy Academy (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays) in Spring House; The Philadelphia School (Fridays) in Center City. All three age groups run at every gym on every night, so one trip covers the whole family.
No roster, no tryout. Players register as individuals and are grouped by skill and developmental fit, then regrouped as they grow. Advanced players train and play up when it fits their game.
Girls. Girls train in girls' groups every night, and are welcome in mixed runs whenever they want the challenge.
Early registration ends August 29. Two-night families who register by then receive an MP Basketball Backpack; All-Access includes one either way.
Better Ball.
This Fall.
Ages 7–17 · One night, two nights, or All-Access · Chestnut Hill, Spring House & Center City
