SATURDAY SKILLS ACADEMY
Our Saturday Skills Academy is tailor-made for young players from 1st Grade to 4th Grade with the primary goal of teaching them the fundamental skills of basketball in an enjoyable environment that fosters a genuine passion for the game. This league is specifically designed for newcomers or those with little experience, providing an excellent starting point for kids to not only grasp the game's basics but also develop a deep affection for basketball. Focus is fundamentals of dribbling, passing, and teamwork.
Each session spans an hour and encompasses a well-rounded approach, including skill development, guidance from one of our head coaches, and a 3-on-3 game where participants get to apply the skills they've acquired. Teams are organized based on elementary school, gender, and grade, ensuring a fair and balanced setup. To ensure equal playing time for each player, teams are generally made up of 6 individuals. In cases where there are either too many or too few individual registrations from one school, we'll combine players from different elementary schools.
Throughout the academy, all teams will use a 27.5" ball, and the hoop height is adjusted to 8-foot goals to accommodate the young players' needs and abilities. By offering such a supportive and inclusive environment, we aim to instill a lasting love for basketball in these budding athletes.
