For 17 years, the Wilmington Excel Travel Program has been committed to shaping young athletes into leaders—on and off the court. Through high-level basketball instruction, elite competition, and a foundation rooted in Christian values, players develop advanced skills, strong character, and the confidence to excel in any environment. Competing with Wilmington Excel is described as exceptional preparation for success at the high school level and beyond.
Wilmington Excel Travel Basketball is described as Wilmington's longest running travel basketball organization. Wilmington Excel coaches are experienced volunteer coaches with a strong commitment to young players and their families. The leadership team includes Shaun McMahon as Director of Programs, Thomas Davis as Director of Travel Basketball, and Robert Clayton as Assistant Director of Travel Basketball. Excel players are required to maintain a minimum 2.5 GPA and are not allowed to play on other basketball travel teams. Financial assistance is available to those in need, and families can request access permission to a Team App to see information such as practice schedules, tournament schedules, and breaking news.
One parent shared that their daughter became more confident as the season went on and that this set the tone heading into high school. Another parent said their son improved tremendously in his basketball skills over several years working with the coaches. A third parent described their son's coaches as providing structured practice mixed with fun competition during practice to increase skill and foster love of the game.
