My son, Mitchell, has attended six weeks and gained tremendous
confidence not only in his basketball abilities but in socialization.
Your staff is outstanding, kind, courteous and inspiring.
We've noticed ALL of the staff and their passion and we tip our collective hat to
you for assembling such a great group of young adults.

Instruction
|
Our sequential progression of instruction based on the mastery approach to learning,
provides a solid foundation and introduction for first time or beginning players. We
teach the fundamental skills of basketball and rules of the game, as well as teaching
kids how to feel good about themselves in a disciplined, highly organized, environment
of fun. We place the child and his/her personal development ahead of the game. If you
want your child's first experience with sport to be a positive one this is the place
to be!
