PHILOSOPHY
ADvantage Basketball was started to provide a development opportunity to young aspiring ballers all the while focusing on experiential learning. The philosophy is for boys and girls to play a game aimed at developing their physical and mental skills in a fun, competitive learning environment. All ADvantage Basketball Programs objectives are for the young athlete to implement the learnings from the skills and drills in a competitive environment where mistakes and failure are encouraged and embraced. Thus creating an emotional safe zone where players can go to the edges of their abilities and then beyond.
HOW: Small group training leads to more learning. Our main focus is to maximize each players quality reps during each session.
WHAT: Give the athletes the purpose of the skill in order to ignite the desire to develop the skill further and apply it in games.
