What Does That Mean for NLPB?
As a New Balance–sponsored program, all NLPB players and teams are required to wear New Balance gear exclusively. This includes shoes, uniforms, warmups, practice gear, undershirts, and socks—no other brand logos are permitted during practices, games, or events. Every piece of team apparel must be New Balance. As part of this partnership, NLPB athletes and families receive 30% off New Balance gear and have access to our official team store through newbalanceteamstore.com, ensuring consistent, professional branding across the entire program.
Why NLPB Chose New Balance and What It Means for Our Players.
Next Level Prospects Basketball (NLPB) chose to partner with New Balance because we believe this relationship positions our program to become part of the top basketball shoe platform in the world. The level of competition, the quality of teams, the depth of talent, and the strong organizational structure within New Balance leagues create an elite environment for development. Through this partnership, NLPB athletes are consistently challenged against high level programs, exposed to national competition, and developed within a system that mirrors the expectations of college basketball. This alignment allows our players to compete, grow, and be seen on one of the most respected and rapidly growing stages in grassroots basketball.

Season Registration & Uniform Payment Below
New Balance Gear and Apparel Requirement
NLPB will not be providing or paying for shoes as part of the uniform package. Shoes involve several individual factors, including fit, comfort, and performance preferences, and allowing families to select the right option for their athlete ensures proper fit and safety. By not including shoes in the uniform package, we are able to keep overall program fees lower for families. Players are responsible for purchasing their own New Balance shoes that meet program requirements. The uniform fee does include two fully customized sets of New Balance uniforms and a custom team backpack, ensuring every athlete is professionally outfitted for the season.
All NLPB players and teams are required to wear New Balance gear exclusively. This includes shoes, uniforms, practice apparel, undershirts, and socks. Our program receives 25% off all gear through the official New Balance Team Store, where NLPB will have its own dedicated page. This policy is mandatory, and failure to comply results in fines to the program. By participating in NLPB, families acknowledge and agree to adhere to this New Balance only requirement at all times.
