The Indiana Ballerz Standard
This is for student-athletes who want to be part of something more than themselves, more than a team—a family. This is more than a jersey.
We build disciplined, confident, and high-character student-athletes. Our philosophy isn't just about the game—it's about a foundation of faith, accountability, and the relentless pursuit of excellence on and off the court.

9th–10th Grade Boys
The 9th–10th grade years are critical for biological and skill development. Our Boys Program bridges the gap between foundational fundamentals and high-level competitive play. We focus on teaching the 'why' behind every set, emphasizing structural discipline, defensive accountability, and faith-based leadership that translates far beyond the court. The 2027 season we will be offering a 9th and a 10th grade team.

Team Placement FAQ
When will we receive placement results?
Placement results are typically emailed to families within 48-72 hours following the final tryout session. Please ensure the email address used during registration is monitored closely for your athletes team assignment.
Where do 9th–10th grade girls fit after tryouts?
All 9th and 10th grade girls are evaluated for the Indiana Ballerz Storm, our premier high school girls squad launching next season. This team is designed for athletes ready to transition into high-level collegiate preparation and exposure.
Which team will my son be placed on?
Boys are placed strictly by grade level: athletes entering the 9th grade are evaluated for Indiana Ballerz Elite, while those entering the 10th grade are evaluated for Indiana Ballerz Unite. These rosters are built to ensure grade-specific development and team chemistry. There is always opportunity for your son to play up as well.
What is the time commitment for these teams?
Membership in Storm, Elite, or Unite requires high levels of discipline. Teams typically practice 2-3 times per week with tournaments on weekends. We expect our high school athletes to prioritize these sessions for peak competitive preparation.
What level of exposure can families expect?
Indiana Ballerz does not promise the highest-exposure tournaments. While some events may include college coaches, our main focus is on player development, team culture, and steady growth, not chasing every big exposure event. We provide a tournament schedule that supports progressive development while maintaining high standards of academic and personal accountability.
