OUR GOALS

If you’re looking to decrease your kid's screen time and get them more active, our basketball program can do exactly that.

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT:

Through the sport of basketball young children can gain:

• Motor Skills: Basketball involves dribbling, throwing, catching and pivoting all of which help to improve motor skills by using large muscle groups. The coordination, specifically hand-eye coordination required in the sport helps develop fine motor skills; these are skills that transfer to other daily activities.

• Increased Endurance: Having good endurance can make everyday life a little easier for your little one. Running up and down a basketball court is a great way to improve endurance.

• Stronger Bones and Muscles: Basketball is a weight-bearing sport, mainly because it includes running and jumping; these movements help new bone tissue develop, which is one way to help make bones stronger. Together bones and muscles are strengthened through physical activity.

PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT:

Giving children the space to experience the ups and downs of healthy competition at a young age better prepares them for other life challenges. Our program can help kids develop social skills and coping strategies that are useful at school, home and in peer groups.

• Communication Skills: Team sports help children develop the ability to communicate with peers through verbal and non-verbal cues, all while improving their listening skills.

• Problem Solving: Kids face challenges every day. Playing sports gives kids the chance to solve basic problems with friends and groups at a young age.

• Teamwork: Basketball will teach kids how to play together. By working as a team to reach a common goal—get the ball in the hoop—kids learn camaraderie.

• Confidence: Being physically active early in life helps kids develop the confidence needed to be physically active later in life. Through sports kids learn to cope with failure; they learn that it’s ok to miss a shot or make mistakes from time to time.
