The Game Matters
About
We provide fundamentals first, then add layers of skills to help with the overall growth and development of each individual player. We believe in offering a safe environment based on positive reinforcement and encouragement.
What I enjoy about the work we do is the aha moment that players have when they finally complete a specific skill or apply skills that we have been working on in practice in a game situation. In addition helping share the game with kids who are passionate and want to learn and improve is also why I enjoy teaching the game of basketball.
