Programs

Our instructional program is designed to teach the game of basketball at a basic level while keeping players active and engaged. Fun games are played to teach the importance of each skill learned. Our foundation technique focuses on basic mechanics to build confidence, then adds larger challenges as we progress. Footwork is an extremely important aspect of the game. This means no players are sitting! We work on dribbling with each hand, passing, and shooting technique, and understanding basic offense and defense.

We engage all players no matter their skill level. Our coaching technique provides basic building blocks in a fun, safe environment. Players keep moving and learning, even while in the dugout! Mechanics and hand-eye coordination are the keys to early success. Players become more confident as we work on the proper mechanics of catching, throwing, fielding, base running, and batting. This program prepares players for level II, t-ball, or coach pitch leagues.

This instructional basketball program gives players their first team experience as we focus on working together while improving each player's individual skills. We create 4-8 teams of 10 players. Each team has a rotating schedule and plays a one-hour game within the four-hour designated time. Each player receives a team jersey, schedule, and participation award. Our goal is to get these players off to the right start!
