Basketball for Military Kids — We Understand Your Family’s Life

A PCS move means your kid leaves their team, their friends, and their routine behind. Finding structured activities fast isn’t optional — it’s how you help them land. Sports provide that anchor: a gym to show up to, a coach who knows their name, and teammates who become the first friends in a new place.

FCP Sports has been that anchor for hundreds of military families stationed at Eglin AFB and Hurlburt Field. We’re 10 minutes from the Eglin main gate and 15 minutes from Hurlburt Field — close enough to make Tuesday night practice easy, far enough to feel like a real outing.

We built our programs with military schedules in mind. Deployments happen. TDY pulls parents away with short notice. We work with families when plans change, because we know the unpredictability isn’t a choice.

$20 Military Discount — On Everything, All Year

We offer a flat $20 military discount on every program at FCP Sports. No fine print, no single-use limit.

To claim your discount, register online using code MILITARY, or simply mention active duty status when you contact us. The discount applies to siblings and covers all programs year-round.

Programs Available Year-Round

Summer Camps — Half-day and full-day formats for ages 5–18. Structured curriculum covering ball handling, shooting mechanics, footwork, defense, and game IQ. Skill assessment on day one; measurable improvement by end of week.

Fall & Spring Leagues — Competitive youth basketball leagues organized by age group. Your child joins a team, plays a full season of games, and builds the kind of friendships that survive even a future PCS.

Kenny Anderson Clinics — Skills clinics led by or built around the FCP training methodology. Focused technique work in a small-group setting — ideal for players who want to accelerate beyond league play.

Open Gym — Unstructured court time for players who want to get shots up, run pickup games, or work on their own. A great low-commitment option when your schedule is uncertain.

Private Basketball Lessons — One-on-one or small-group basketball training with our coaching staff. We schedule around your family’s availability, including accommodating last-minute changes when military life demands it.

Why Military Families Choose FCP Sports

Climate-controlled facility — Our gym is fully indoor and air-conditioned. Florida summer heat is a real concern, especially for families new to the Panhandle. Your kid works out in a comfortable environment every session, no matter what month it is.

Dedicated basketball-only gym — We don’t share the space with volleyball, cheer practice, or church events. When your child comes to FCP Sports, the entire building exists for one sport. That means better court time, better coaching focus, and a better experience.

Flexible scheduling for military realities — Deployments, TDY, and last-minute changes are part of the job. We’re not rigid about these things. If a deployment disrupts a registration, talk to us. We’ve worked with military families long enough to know when to be flexible.

Immediate community — One of the hardest parts of a PCS is the social reset for kids. Leagues and camps at FCP Sports put your child in a structured team environment immediately. By week two of camp or game two of a league season, they have teammates. That matters.

We’ve trained hundreds of military kids from Eglin and Hurlburt — players who showed up not knowing anyone and left with skills, confidence, and friends. Some of those kids have come back multiple times between assignments.
