Why doesn’t the Crescent Basketball Academy offer league games to Participants?
Crescent Basketball Academy’s “Continuous Improvement Approach” focuses solely on teaching fundamental skills to young players. The goal is to lay a rock-solid foundation for their future success in the game. Unfortunately, many young athletes lack proficiency in basic skills, hindering their performance in league games. By dedicating efforts on dribbling, shooting, passing, defense, rebounding, and basketball IQ, Crescent Basketball Academy attempts to make each player fundamentally sound in these essential elements before advancing to competitive play. While coaching in games or leagues has its merits, Crescent Basketball Academy’s passion lies in equipping young athletes with the fundamental skills necessary to excel in any basketball setting.
