Developing and Mentoring Next Generation Young Leaders Through Sports


Team Rio University will host its Annual Shoot-a-thon virtually on August 1st.


Help our young student-athletes on the path of recovery and back to the court during the pandemic. Your support will also assist our enhanced safety protocols and technology projects to provide the necessary support to get back to a new normal in basketball development and recruitment. We need your help more than ever.


This year we are going virtual! During the event every athlete will shoot 100 free throws. We are looking for sponsors for each MADE free throw. You can pledge anything from .25 cents to $10 per basket made or make a one-time DONATION.


Please help us reach our goal!

:: About Team Rio University ::


Team Rio National and Sports U are proud to announce a collaboration and combination of NJ's most successful grassroots basketball programs over the last decade with the creation of Team Rio University (Rio U). As an Under Armour Association sponsored program, Team Rio University is able to deliver a complete student-athlete basketball development and educational advancement program. 


Players have access and support to the finest coaches, trainers, mentors, and educators to reach their potential on the court, in the classroom, and in life.  


Over the last decade, the combined programs have graduated over one hundred NCAA Division 1 scholarship athletes, seven McDonald’s All Americans, and eight NBA players.  


“Eight years ago we created Team Rio National because we wanted a comprehensive academic and basketball development experience for a group of passionate local players. Over the years, the formula has proven successful and we would like to extend the opportunities to more student-athletes in the tri-state area. By combining forces with Sports U, Team Rio University can extend its reach and help impact more youth players throughout the region,“ said Brian Klatsky, founder of Team Rio National.  


Sports U founder, Brian Coleman, says “This merger is going to be a disruptor and game changer in the tri-state basketball community. I’m very excited for the future of Rio U basketball!”


As a 501(c)3 organization, Team Rio University is an Under Armour sponsored program that assists student-athletes on and off the court in their pursuit of college and professional basketball. The boys and girls programs participate in the highly regarded Under Armour Association (UAA). Both the boys and girls UAA leagues generate hundreds of college coaches and scouts at their NCAA live session events to provide student-athletes a world class platform for competition and recruitment.
