The basics of basketball are introduced in a structured learning environment where the player does not feel the pressure of performance. As the player’s skill level increases, the confidence of feeling prepared in a competitive game situation will come naturally.
The coaching environment allows for the tailoring of drills and techniques to suit the individual’s goals whether that is wanting to make a team, get more playing time, or develop basic fundamentals.
Each session is structured to improve and build upon your current level of play. We design our standard sessions for one player and groups. You can sign up for multiple sessions (recommended)
At Darden Sports Skills Academy, it’s all about the boys and girls we train! Basketball training programs are designed to develop fundamental basketball skills no matter what age or position you play.
