ATX LOCKDOWN
BASKETBALL
Welcome to Lockdown
In 2010, I founded ATX Lockdown Basketball to make a difference. It was clear that college coaches weren't actively recruiting central Texas. Our goal was to help bring more awareness to the great basketball being played in this area, and to give more kids an opportunity to earn a scholarship and pursue their dream of playing basketball at the next level.
Over ten years later, ATX Lockdown Basketball is an established, winnning organization, built on an innovative approach to player development and free-flowing style of play. We also have a track record for student-athletes graduating and attending college, with many receiving scholarships to play at the DI, DII and DIII levels.

STYLE OF PLAY
Deffenisve intensity. Offensive versatility.
Our play has been described as fun, fast and intense. We beleive great defense leads to even better offense. we expect our players to be vesrsatile, play with a big motor, and be a highly competitive team player. kids must have the ability to play multiple offensive and defensive positions to have success and fit our style of play.

It's incredible how much he's developed over the last 6+ years. It's been a blessing to be part of the Lockdown family, and we trust that Coach Dion will do everything he can to help our son pursue his dreams of playing at the next level."

"After successfully navigating the challenges and pitfalls of recruiting with my son, resulting in our club's first DI scholarship, I was even more energized to help kids achieve their potential and find success at the next level. This is our focus."
