C5 Elite is the premier basketball program of C5 Skills Academy, built to bring together the top young talent in Southeast Missouri and give it a real platform to grow. Representing multiple schools and communities, these athletes compete to win — while developing their game, building their character, and preparing for the next level.In partnership with Trawick Homes, C5 Elite has launched an initiative to identify and support the region's best players through scholarship opportunities for its circuit teams, removing barriers to high-level competition and exposure. Now in its first year of circuit play, C5 Elite is competing across multiple states, creating new pathways for Southeast Missouri athletes to be seen, developed, and recruited — with plans to keep expanding those opportunities as the program grows.

C5 Elite gives high-level athletes across Southeast Missouri a real platform to compete, develop, and be seen — across three age groups: 14U, 15U, and 16U.Our 14U and 15U teams focus on building the foundation — skill, discipline, toughness, and IQ — through strong local and regional play. We intentionally hold off on circuit play at this stage: it's a major investment that rarely pays off in recruiting terms, since most players that age are still years from real collegiate minutes.Our 16U team competes on the circuit, facing top talent across Missouri and Illinois at the stage where exposure actually matters — closer to recruiting windows and college interest.More than a team, C5 Elite is a development environment built on growth, accountability, and long-term success. With support from Trawick Homes and C5 Skills Academy, these athletes are building their future — not just a season.
