Chase thegame.Build theperson.
Real Dream Chasers is a competitive basketball organization for boys and girls—built on player development, character, and the courage to keep moving forward.
RDC is more than basketball. We coach life.
Ronnie and Alissa Powell founded RDC in 2016 to help young people grow in confidence, character, and skill—on and off the court.
The standard is competitive. The purpose is bigger: accountable teammates, fearless competitors, and young people prepared to keep chasing what matters.
Why RDC existsA clearer next step
Development is a pathway, not a label.
Every player starts in a different place. RDC helps families identify the next useful challenge without promising a roster spot before an evaluation.
Build the foundation
Skill work and guided development can help a player improve confidence, habits, and readiness before competitive team placement.
Evaluate the fit
RDC considers current grade, experience, effort, coachability, and the needs of an available team. An inquiry starts the conversation; it does not guarantee placement.
Develop in competition
Team basketball adds shared standards: commitment, communication, accountability, sportsmanship, and the work required to compete together.
Competitive teams
Find the right challenge—not just another roster.
RDC offers competitive programs for boys and girls. An evaluation helps families discuss the right team or development path for the player.
