Ares Basketball, Ares Showcase, and the Dan Mooney Foundation were back in the gym with current players and prospective talent putting in meaningful work for the upcoming Ares Summer Showcase program.

We’re looking for players who want more than just games. Players who want development, accountability, exposure, and a real opportunity to grow. The summer roster is being built now, and every training session matters.

To the players in the gym: keep working.
To the players watching: your opportunity is coming.
