The program
The gold standard.
Utah Gold is the elite arm of Mountain City Hoops. We field high school teams on the top national circuits — Nike EYCL, Jr. EYBL, and Made Hoops West — so the best players in the state can be seen, challenged, and recruited without leaving home.
Our coaching staff — led by Kevin and Dalton Nixon — builds every practice with the same detail we expect from our players in live play. Fundamentals, footwork, film, repetition. No shortcuts.
The circuits
