Mark Demerath
founded the Purple Aces Basketball Program in 1994. We are a "non-profit" organization with all of our coaches
volunteering their time and talents. This makes the Purple Aces unique in that most other clubs have paid coaches. Our intent is to work with "serious"
players and parents to achieve a maximum learning experience with a focus on improving their basketball and team skills
with an eye toward the future. Our tournament participation is carefully chosen to provide the best competitive atmosphere
from the 5th Grade level through High School. Our High School level teams (Freshmen, Sophomore & Junior) participate
in "College Exposure" tournaments such as the DePere Classic, Milwaukee Summer Hoopfest, NIKE Showcase in Chicago,
and the Minnesota Meltdown with a focus on "showcasing" our players before the many NCAA coaches in attendance.
If you are serious about
playing basketball at the next level - - we would like to help you realize that dream!
