The Scoring Factory

★★★★★Brandi Kruse

I can’t say enough great things about Scoring Factory. Both of my daughters started with the Sunday skills clinics, and we immediately fell in love with the program. The training was challenging, structured, and demanding, but always delivered in a way that built confidence, discipline, and a genuine love for the game. We later joined the Spring AAU Academy, and what impressed me most was how well Scoring Factory serves players at every level. One of my daughters has only been playing basketball for a couple of seasons, while the other has played for nine years. My newer player was challenged, encouraged, and developed tremendously. She never felt like she didn’t belong, even when surrounded by more experienced athletes. My older daughter had the opportunity to compete at a higher level and gain valuable experience that will help prepare her for varsity basketball next year. What truly sets Scoring Factory apart is the culture they have created. If you’ve ever left a youth basketball game frustrated by toxic behavior, poor sportsmanship, or adults losing sight of what matters, Scoring Factory is the complete opposite. Teams are thoughtfully balanced to maximize player development, and adjustments are made when needed to keep competition fair and productive. The coaches coach. The fans cheer. The referees let the kids play while maintaining control of the game. The focus is always on development, effort, teamwork, and respect. It’s difficult to put the entire experience into words because it feels like so much more than a basketball program. There is a genuine sense of community and care that runs through everything they do. It takes a village to create an environment like this, and while there are many people whose names I don’t know, their impact is obvious. You can feel the investment they have in these kids. It doesn’t feel like a business. It feels like family. I especially want to recognize Coach DeeDee, who I’ve personally seen helping players work through difficult emotional moments, even when he wasn’t assigned to coach their game. That level of care speaks volumes about the program. Coach Bass, Coach Rawley, and Coach Brooklyn were also outstanding. They were engaged, positive, motivating, and clearly invested in helping every player grow. Watching them coach each weekend was a pleasure. Scoring Factory not only builds better basketball players, but more importantly, they are also helping build confident, resilient young people.

The Pittsburgh Scoring Factory has been an incredible experience for our family. My daughter has made so much improvement over the past 8 months, and it’s been amazing to watch her confidence and skills grow. All three of my kids love coming to the Sunday morning sessions at the Mt. Pleasant location and look forward to every workout. Coach Casey has created a great environment and Coach Plazz, Dylan, and Dante are all so encouraging with the kids. They make the workouts fun while still keeping them challenging and effective. The combination of positive energy, skill development, and great coaching has made a huge impact. Highly recommend Pittsburgh Scoring Factory to any family looking to help their kids grow in basketball and confidence.”

I love The Scoring Factory! The skills clinics are great, they teach and enforce players to learn correct techniques to gain success. The Academy is the best complete basketball training you can get. After the first week in the academy I saw immediate improvements in both of my children’s skills and confidence. The scoring factory’s commitment and focus on fundamentals and sportsmanship while teaching players to understand the game so they can make good decisions(basketball IQ) is what sets this program apart from any other we tried. Honestly, going into this I had really high expectations of the program and the scoring factory exceeded them! The coaches are AWESOME and the environment is so positive. If your child commits and has the right attitude and puts in the work they will gain significantly from the scoring factory!

The Scoring Factory presents opportunities for every skill level. They do an amazing job of teaching basketball skills with details and repetition needed for the players to gain the automaticity and muscle memory needed to be successful during games. I also appreciate the focus on good sportsmanship (thank the passer) as well as how positive the coaches are with the players. Both my son and my daughter have gone through various programs such as skills clinics, the Academy, private training, and now the girls AAU team. I highly recommend this organization for all players at any skill level.

My kids have been attending the Scoring Factory for a little over a year now. This was my daughter's first year on JV and my son was asked to play up with the older kids. I credit the Scoring Factory coaches for their success. Keeping a ball in their hands year round and having coaches that know what they're doing and care about the growth of the players is priceless. The confidence in their game when they step on the court has been the biggest difference. Coach Pete, Coach Jermaine, and all of coaches at the Scoring Factory take the time to know each of the students personally which as a parent is all that you can ask for. I highly recommend the Scoring Factory for any parent that has a kid looking to take their game to the next level. And the prices are affordable for multi-children families like mine. The Scoring Factory is a game changer!
