Basketball Basics is a not-for-profit organization whose focus is a skills fundamental development program for children ages 6-15.  The program's primary goal is to teach and instill the necessary fundamentals of basketball in a step by step, fun and safe environment.

Basketball Basics is able to accommodate children of different age groups and skill levels by simplifying the game to its core elements.  Regardless of experience or age each participant is challenged to hone their individual skills.  Teaching methods include   a mixture of individual and group instruction to improve form and method. The learned skills are then applied in a progressive game that emphasizes FUN and TEAMWORK.
