Our mission
Our mission is Planting Seeds for Christ Through Basketball.
At Tennessee United, we are committed to developing the total athlete—mind, body, and spirit. We challenge our players, coaches, and families to show commitment in every area of life, carry a positive attitude each day, and live with purpose both on and off the court.
We believe in the Orange Standard—doing things the right way, holding ourselves accountable, and representing something bigger than ourselves. Through our One More mindset, we ask our athletes to give one more effort, take one more step, and make one more positive choice in everything they do.
Our player development curriculum is built to teach basketball at a high level while also instilling character, leadership, faith, and life skills. We strive to bring a professional, organized, and intentional experience to club basketball in East Tennessee—one that prepares athletes not only to compete, but to lead and serve beyond the game.
Why Choose Tennessee United?
Year-Round Player Development That Separates Your Child
At Tennessee United Basketball Club, development isn’t seasonal — it’s our standard.
Our 6th grade and above teams follow a 10-month comprehensive model built to help every player reach their full potential — as an athlete, a teammate, and a person.
On-Court Skill Development
We call them Separation Workouts for a reason.
Each Saturday and Sunday, our players invest two focused hours into getting better — mastering our Orange Standardcurriculum that emphasizes:
-
High-rep shooting and advanced ball handling
-
Game IQ development through spacing, tempo, and terminology
-
Decision-making and basketball vocabulary that prepares them to excel in any system
These workouts are carefully designed to complement each player’s school season — helping them sharpen their edge, stay confident, and be ready for the spring.
Strength, Speed & Athletic Performance
Our athletes train year-round with specialized strength and speed sessions that enhance explosiveness, coordination, and injury prevention.
We believe better athletes make better basketball players — and we build both.
Mental Performance & Leadership
Development doesn’t stop at the gym doors.
Every player in our program is enrolled in Coach Jeff Becker’s Mental Performance Program, where they learn focus, resilience, leadership, and accountability — the same mental tools used by elite college and professional athletes.
Culture, Teamwork & Belonging
Our teams practice together to uphold our shared standards — fostering chemistry, discipline, and a sense of belonging that lasts beyond the court. Players form authentic relationships and learn what it means to be part of something bigger than themselves.
Why Choose Tennessee United?
Because your child deserves a program that develops:
-
The player on the court
-
The athlete in the weight room
-
The leader in life
This is more than basketball.
It’s One More — one more rep, one more lesson, one more opportunity to grow.
"One MOre"
The premise of The Power of One More is simple. You're much closer to the life you dream of than you think you are. You're often only one more book, one more relationship, one more decision, one more rep, one more prayer or one more thought away from leading the life you deserve.
