The Real Run Basketball Program in Austin

Real Run Refereed Pickup Basketball Program

🏀 What if your child could play without self doubt — and grow faster than ever?

Whether they’re battling hesitation or chasing their next breakthrough,
The Real Run gives players the freedom, structure, permission, intention and confidence
to finally play their game — and become who they’re meant to be.

🔍 Is your child playing… or performing?

In today’s basketball world, it’s easy to get stuck performing for coaches, trainers, parents, scouts, or expectations — and forget how to actually play.

  • They freeze in games, even after training all week

  • They pass up shots they hit in practice

  • They’re constantly trying to please, not grow

The Real Run flips the script — from pressure to purpose.
From overthinking to instinct.
From “don’t mess up” to “let’s level up.”

🧠 They’ve trained. They’re talented. But are they free to play?

You’ve invested in private training. Extra reps. Shooting machines.

But practice doesn’t matter if they:

  • Won’t take the shot in games

  • Don’t speak up or lead

  • Fear failure every time they step on the court

That’s not a skill gap — that’s a confidence gap.

“I wrote down ‘shoot more.’ I missed the first two. Then I hit three straight. First time I played free.”
— 8th Grade Guard, Lake Travis

✍️ No coaches. No parents. No trainers. No pressure. Just growth.

We eliminate the chaos and noise — no tryouts, no sideline yelling, no coaching overload. No anxiety causing people pleasing.

Just:

  • ✅ Reffed 5v5 games with different teams each week with guaranteed 40 minutes playing time.

  • Basketball Confidence Intention Card✅ Player-led intention setting

  • ✅ Growth challenges

  • ✅ Music to calm and energize

  • ✅ Post-session reflection

Before each session, players write their own growth goal.
Afterward, they privately reflect on how they did.
No one evaluates them — they evaluate themselves.
That’s what builds freedom, leadership, and confidence.

📦 The Real Run Confidence Stack

“I stopped playing in a box that someone else designed for me and contained me.  I blossomed at Real Run.”  Collegiate Captain

“All the burnout from the high school season and AAU season washed away in a few weeks.  Soon I was jumping for joy on the court.”  High School Junior Forward.

“This is where I learned to dribble… all the drills in the world were not getting me in game reps because my coach said I couldn’t dribble.  Fair, but how and where could I get better?   Real Run was the place.” College Forward

“They come out of the gym, smiling and sweaty.  All chatty in the car. Happy.  They get home and sing in the shower.  They play in high school and middle school.  This sequence only happens after Real Run.”  Mom of Two Players- Circle C
