Player Development On & Off the Court.

Mentoring + BasketballMaster the Fundamentals Academy

Small group training focused on building individual skills & game play IQ.

We focus on developing the player, not just their skills!

We understand that intense challenges bring about significant change. As a result, we created the ‘Develop & Compete’ program that offers support & guidance in an organized, accountable environment that focuses on developing athlete’s social & emotional skills. Athlete’s will learn positive character traits, discipline, dedication, sacrifice, hard work & responsibility on & off the court.

Basketball is a dynamic and fast-paced sport that requires a combination of physical fitness, mental acuity, and a wide range of basketball skills. Whether you’re a beginner looking to get started or a seasoned player aiming to refine your abilities, basketball skill development is a continuous and rewarding journey.

Teach the game. Cultivate leaders. Provide resources.

TEACH THE GAME – We teach them the why behind an action, move, and offensive concept. We develop play makers, not play runners. A positive environment is also necessary, we end every sessions with players and coaches encouraging each other even after a tough competitive game!

CULTIVATE LEADERS – This is what makes us different. We encourage our players to do more than play basketball. We provide job & volunteer opportunities, encourage philanthropy & community service, prepare young coaches in our Jr Coaching Program, as well as provide empowerment workshops.

PROVIDE RESOURCES – We provide our parents and players with resources needed to support our players journey. We have partnered with some amazing organizations!
