Get in the Game: Adult Open Gym with High Altitude Basketball

Looking to stay in shape, compete, and connect with a great basketball community? High Altitude Basketball’s Adult Open Gym is the perfect place to do it. Whether you're a former player, weekend warrior, or just love the game, we've got a court and a spot waiting for you.

Join us for two weekly sessions of fast-paced, fun, and competitive hoops:
�� Thursday nights from 7:15–9:15 PM at Sleeping Giant School
�� Sunday mornings from 9:00–11:00 AM at Steamboat Springs High School

Each session is just $7 — payable via cash or Venmo (@highaltitudebasketball) .

We typically run full-court 5v5 games, but we like to mix it up with some FIBA 3v3 as well. It’s a great way to stay sharp, meet other hoopers, and enjoy the game in a fun, competitive environment.

New players are always welcome! Before your first session, please create a PlayMetrics login so we can keep things organized:

Spring Season 3 Updates

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 22:03:54 GMT

Season 3 Update: New Schedule, New Group, and Fresh Energy!

First off, thank you all so much for your continued patience as we’ve been finalizing the schedule following Spring Break. I know many of you have been eager to see what’s ahead, and I’m excited to share our updated plans for Season 3!

We’ve made a few adjustments to better serve our players, including the addition of a brand-new group: Little Hoopers & First Timers (1st–4th Grade) . This group is designed specifically for novice players and those just getting started with the game. Whether you're in 1st grade or a 4th grader joining for the first time, this will be a great intro to basketball fundamentals at a pace that’s perfect for beginners.

We’ve also locked in the times for our returning groups, including 3rd/4th Seasoned Veterans, 5th–8th Boys, and our 5th–10th NBA Girls. These times are tentative as we continue to coordinate with our awesome volunteer coaches and keep an eye on gym availability and attendance numbers. (This season is already shaping up to be our most varied yet in terms of night-to-night numbers!)

Here’s what we’ve got so far:

HAB Launches Elite Programs for High School Ahtletes

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 21:45:02 GMT

New Programs: HAB Elite Boys & HAB Elite Girls

High Altitude Basketball is excited to introduce two new elite programs for high school athletes: HS Boys Elite and HS Girls Elite . These teams, made up of Freshman, Sophomores, and Juniors from Steamboat Springs, Hayden, and Soroco High Schools, offer unique opportunities for local players to grow their basketball skills and compete at higher levels. With a roster of 14 boys and 9 girls, both teams are off to an exciting start, having already participated in their first tournament, with more opportunities on the horizon.

The mission of High Altitude Basketball is "Creating basketball opportunities for all." This mission is at the heart of these elite teams, providing local athletes with the chance to advance their skills and gain exposure to competitive play. By offering these programs, High Altitude Basketball is helping players transition from youth leagues to more advanced and competitive environments, preparing them for success in high school, college, and beyond.

Each team follows a structured weekly training schedule that includes three team practices , two shooting-focused sessions , and one individual skills workout . This well-rounded approach ensures that athletes develop in all areas of the game—from team strategy and communication to shooting consistency and personal skill refinement.

The HS Boys Elite and HS Girls Elite teams have already showcased their talents in their first tournament, with both squads displaying grit, potential, and strong teamwork. Their experience on the court is just the beginning, with plenty more competition ahead. The HS Boys Elite team will cap off their season with a four-day tournament in Las Vegas—an incredible opportunity to face elite competition and gain valuable exposure.

Both teams will also take part in a major milestone for the program: the High Altitude Jamboree , the first-ever local tournament hosted by High Altitude Basketball. Expected to bring in around 60 teams , the Jamboree will be a celebration of local and regional talent, and a special chance for our athletes to compete on their home turf. It also serves as a meaningful moment for team bonding , allowing players to build deeper connections and friendships that extend beyond the court.

These elite teams are more than just a place to play—they’re about growth, leadership, and community. With dedicated coaching, high-level training, and shared experiences, these athletes are building a foundation for success, on and off the court.

Stay tuned for more updates as the season progresses!
