What to expect in a "Little Dribblers" Training Academy
We have two goals for your child:

1) learn movement
2) learn skills

Each session will focus on developing these two areas.

If players learn movement at this age, they will become better athletes when they mature. We want these boys & girls to learn such critical movements such as, pivoting, skipping, running, shuffling laterally, hopping, landing, running backwards and so on.

Learning basketball skills is accomplished by giving them a steady diet each day of fast paced drills/teaching such areas as: triple threat, passing and catching, pivoting, jump stop, layups/shooting, and defense.

Frequently asked questions:

What height are the rims? We lower the rims to 8 feet

What size basketball is used? We use a small youth 27" basketball. Perfect for this age

What if my child has never played before - any worries?
No worries!! Your child will be placed in a gym with similar players. We simply want them all to have a chance to learn and shine!

Who will be training my child - coaching them?
Our site directors are carefully hand selected professionals that pass extensive background checks and have impressive basketball experience - but also have the ability to teach and motivate young players. They will handle the instruction/drills each league day, but we actually encourage parents to "roll up their sleeves" and step onto the court to help with drills. It's a blast!
