Blueprint Basketball

Hello Blueprint Basketball family!!!
Audrey here, some of you don’t know me, I am Wade’s wife ( the behind the scene business partner 😊) I wanted to get on here and do a little reflecting as we close this chapter of our great journey!

7 years ago Wade approached me with this crazy idea, “ I want to start a basketball training business that works with kids learning the basic fundamental skills of basketball.” Not long after, the idea became a reality and Blueprint basketball was born. It started off as lessons at the Y, then eventually moved into the building, “the arena” as Wade liked to call it!

Now I personally don’t have an athletic bone in my body, so I never did anything “basketball wise” at the building. However , I sure did hear a lot of wonderful stories of what happened inside those walls♥️, those are the stories I want to reflect on.

Anyone with a young child nowadays knows youth sports are tough!! There is a whole new level of competition that many of us never experienced growing up. This can be so tough for parents who want to see their child get a chance in the world of sports. There is fierce competition in the Minot area, and many very athletic kiddos in our community. An unfortunate part of that, is the fact that many young boys and girls will never get a chance to let their talents shine, nor have longevity in the sport they love. Blueprint Basketball helped fill that gap!

Wade made two commitments at the very beginning, and he stayed true to them all the way until the end.

1. EVERY CHILD would KNOW they were an important asset to the team regardless of talent. No child would ride the bench! His goal was for every child to know they brought value to the “family.” I was blessed to hear countless stories from parents on how their child’s confidence level improved dramatically not only in basketball, but also in life.

2. No child would ever be denied services because their family couldn’t afford it. Countless scholarships went out to families so their child could enjoy the sport they loved without any added stress.

As we close this chapter, I want Wade to know how proud I am of what he built and the people he touched. You did good!!

Most importantly though, Blueprint would never have existed without all of you! THANK YOU to all the AMAZING families that let Wade and my girls be apart of your child’s life. We will forever be grateful to you all!

Now that the deal has been sealed and the new buyers have moved in a new chapter begins. I’m super excited for a new family to enjoy the building as much as we did ♥️♥️

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts ♥️

Hello Blueprint Family!!! This is Audrey😊(Wade’s wife). He is currently on a plane on his way to Germany to meet up with Ashlee for a couple of days.

I feel, I need to get on here and share some news, hard news for me to share, about a recent decision Wade and I made. We have decided to close the chapter on Blueprint Basketball. This decision did not come lightly. Wade has absolutely loved working with all of your kiddos, as well as meeting SO many new parents. Both of us have made life long friends with the parents who trusted Wade to work with their kids. We have been truly blessed beyond words ♥️

So why this decision… well honestly, we are just in a new chapter of our lives. Our kids are grown and we’re ready to be able to travel whenever we would like! I know Wade won’t be able to stay away from basketball forever😝He will always be there to help anyone out.

Wade wanted to speak on this himself, but the building was listed today, and I just feel everyone deserves to hear it from us😊

Blueprint basketball will still have the first round of 3 on 3 starting May 27th!

This is not a good-bye, it’s just a “we’ll see you in a different way” We have lots of kids to come watch play some incredible BBall🏀

We love you all!!
