Tywon Bressler is an 11 year old guard from Milwaukee, WI and plays for the 5th grade Playground I.C.E. Elite (formally Milwaukee I.C.E.) A.A.U squad. The Playground Elite name comes from their new Nike sponsored program.
Bressler’s ball handling, speed and ability to change direction is unbelievable. He sees the floor as well as some high school ball players. Tywon can also shoot the ball very well. He has a midrange as well as a long range game. He can go left or right and finish. Defensively he is very solid as well. All this talent comes from his drive to get better.
He started playing in camps at 4 years old & school ball in the 2nd grade in which he made the 5th grade A team. In four years of elementary school ball he's only lost 2 games & winning 52. This past year he started on the 5th & 6th grade school teams leading them both to undefeated seasons and City titles. In Milwaukee, school basketball starts very early. He works out with a personal trainer Tony Smith (former Los Angeles Lakers) or Deshaun Curtis (Improve your game-Master trainer) every week. He also work with his coach one night a week for 3 hours 1 on 1 as well.
While playing all this basketball, Tywon still remains a honor student. Tywon has acheived the all academic award from his school 2 years in a row. You must make the honor roll every quarter of the year to receive this award. He's won many tourney MVP's and made numerous all tourney teams with the most recent being NY2LA's Swish N Dish tourney the Midwest biggest tourney where he put up 17 pts and 11 assists a game.
