Basketball Academy

Our Basketball Academy is a great way for players to develop their skills in a more focused environment. Players often get more touches on the ball and have more opportunities to practice their shooting, dribbling, and teamwork in a smaller setting. Each session players develop a better understanding of defensive positioning in relation to the ball, as well as offensive spacing. With the development through small sides games such as 3 on 3, players will build a stronger basketball IQ and more confidence in which they can eventually apply to 5 on 5 games.
