Testimonials
Our daughter really appreciated Coach BJ’s positivity. Coaches can be very intense. She so appreciated BJ’s encouragement and positive coaching style, instead of being torn down for all that she does wrong. She never felt that at Blueprint. Thank you for making basketball fun for her.

Joining Blueprint was a game-changer for our son. His skill level and confidence sky-rocketed in this first year. BJ and his coaching staff are excellent. The expectations of their players are high and clear, yet supported with kindness, compassion and humor. Our son has made great friends within this program, has had the opportunity to travel to other areas to play against highly skilled teams and has a new sense of self-motivation. All of this we acknowledge and give thanks to the Blueprint program. I would highly recommend Blueprint basketball to anyone looking to take their game to the next level.

Our son learned so much and became such a better player after working with BJ, who had a lot on his plate and handled it all with ease. Already looking forward to next year!

Following this Blueprint season, I wanted to reach out and let you know how appreciative I am of your program, your basketball philosophy, your dedication, and especially the way you care for and treat your ‘Blueprint Family’.My two sons have not only gained higher basketball IQ and technique, but have developed better team skills and made great friendships. The way you coach and teach the kids is a true reflection of the motto on the uniforms. “Skills Over Politics“. As a former player and current coach, I have been able to see many other programs, camps and leagues. I can only say that they pale in comparison to what I see with Blueprint. Many others are concerned more with profit margin than actually teaching skills and developing the players. Your program is committed, authentic, and dedicated to the player, developing their skills, sharpening their fundamentals and teaching a TEAM-first mentality.You also do well to model these same characteristics by the way you make sure to take time and meet each players parents and family members. Truly listening and giving of your time (as much as is necessary for them). I sincerely hope that the program will flourish and become a commonly known word in the sports community throughout Vermont. I believe this is already happening as I saw more and more new faces in the gym at practices. BJ, you certainly have impressed me with all that you are doing to springboard a true, player-centered basketball program in VT, and I wish you all the best for Blueprint’s continued success.
