3-on-3 Academy

Fun and Exciting!

Next Academy starts July 15th!
3-on-3 Basketball is a great opportunity for players to get better at the fundamentals of the game. With three players instead of five, all players have a greater chance to be involved in the action.
We have real experienced coaches, not parent volunteers, running the weekly skill development sessions. The coaches will teach concepts such as:- Moving without the ball (backdoor cuts, give and go, etc.)
- Pick and roll
- Dribble Handoffs
- and more ...

Skill Development Training

We develop skill, work ethic, and mental toughness! Players don't just practice moves against cones and invisible defenders. We make sure they test their skills against live defense and game like situations.
