Shooter Levels
Shooter Levels represent an individual’s ongoing shooting performance. The levels are dictated by overall shooting percentage, but defined by core ShotClub values. At ShotClub we believe there is something to be gained at every level of your ShotClub journey, regardless of how well you can shoot.
LEVEL 1: JUST START (0-10% Field Goal Percentage)
The first step, no matter how big or small, is to get in the game. Overthinking, fear, and distraction are often major hurdles to achieving a goal. You may not have all the answers or the perfect set of skills, but you have to start somewhere. This level is dedicated to Leon and Adam Rose who inspired us to just start ShotClub.
LEVEL 2: NO SWEAT (11-20% Field Goal Percentage)
Whether winning or losing, true confidence is perpetual. “Never let ‘em see you sweat” was a phrase Omar Wellington heard from his Father often. Al lived his life with genuine enthusiasm and earned confidence. His calm demeanor was apparent in any situation, high pressure or otherwise, allowing him to walk in the room with any athlete or executive and thrive. At ShotClub, we look forward to witnessing our members grow in confidence – in all aspects of life. We look forward to young athletes mixing it up with basketball veterans; ShotClub amateurs moving up to the next shooting level; members joining Shootouts alone and leaving with new friends; good shooters becoming great shooters; we look forward to changing lives by inspiring confidence.
LEVEL 3: THE SCALE (21-30% Field Goal Percentage)
The only way to ensure progress is to be honest about where you are and where you need to be; step on the scale. Whether it’s weight loss, your shooting percentage, or your job, if you want to improve you must get comfortable with regular self-analysis and confronting the truth, no matter how uncomfortable it can be. As we aim to perfect the ShotClub experience, we remember the beloved Gerry Browne and one of his many memorable phrases: “Step on the scale of life, Brother”.
LEVEL 4: THE NETWORK (31-40% Field Goal Percentage)
You never know who you’re going to meet; just one person can change the game. The ShotClub Community is not just united in a love for shooting – it’s much deeper than that. It’s made up of individuals who love to have fun, compete, and connect with positive people. The ShotClub Network supports each other on and off the court, whether it’s through patronizing a fellow member’s business, following the successes of a member’s athletic career, or just becoming great friends. The Network Level is dedicated to all of our ShotClub members who make our community truly something special.
LEVEL 5: NO EXCUSES (41-50% Field Goal Percentage)
Regardless of the circumstance, rise to the occasion and expect to win. No Excuses. True competitors focus only on what they can control and don’t dwell on what they can’t. Excuses are antithetical to betterment, as they justify weakness that could be improved.The No Excuses Level is dedicated to all of the female ShotClub members who are unfazed and undeterred by the use of a Men’s Ball in Shootouts. We have never had a female ShotClub Shooter complain, much less make excuses about the ball size. They are too busy competing fiercely, demonstrating that ANYONE can be a ShotClub phenom.
LEVEL 6: WILL TO WIN (51-60% Field Goal Percentage)
The willingness to push the limit, to meet the moment with energy, to be relentless in your pursuit for excellence. Skill and talent only go so far. Those who achieve greatness have the will to win. They seek out growth, run through hurdles, and never miss an opportunity to bring the good energy. Each and every Shootout, we get to witness players’ who have the will to win. They motivate their teammates, step up in big moments, and lead from the front. To those players… The “Will To Win” Level is dedicated to you.
LEVEL 7: LOCKED IN (61-70% Field Goal Percentage)
The ability to keep your head down, to stay locked in, in the midst of constant distraction. We live in a world where focus is becoming endangered. To shoot well, to work well, to live and love well, requires a consistent effort, guided by focus. In the sport of Shooting, you must be mentally locked in, shot after shot, in order to achieve your highest potential.
LEVEL 8: THE WORK (71-80% Field Goal Percentage)
The work is the most necessary step to success; if you want to win, it cannot be evaded. This level is dedicated to the Brunson family who lives by the motto: “The Magic Is In The Work”. While he was a basketball trainer for Jalen Brunson, ShotClub Founder Omar Wellington got a front row seat to Jalen’s gritty, relentless work ethic. Each time he steps on the court, Jalen may not be the tallest or the fastest… but he will OUTWORK the opponent. At ShotClub, we pride ourselves on working hard to make the game of ShotClub Shootout the best it can be, while spreading it to as many people and places as possible.
LEVEL 9: THE GOAT (81-100% Field Goal Percentage)
To be at the GOAT Level – The Greatest of All Time – requires a trifecta of incredible skill, competitive greatness, and mental resilience. In the game of Life, GOATs are focused on, but not distracted by perfection. They understand the importance of the little things, of motivating their team, and of pushing themselves to be great. In the game of ShotClub, the same rules apply. ShotClub GOATs excel on every level, from passing to strategic play; and of course, Shooting. This level is dedicated to any individual who achieves an 80%-100% overall shooting percentage – you’ve reached ShotClub GOAT status.
