HERE'S THE PLAY


NBN Sports Academy operates year-round, running about 10 weeks per season. Registration costs include an NBN jersey and we offer sibling & military discounts. Our NBN seasons run as follows:

  • Spring League- February to May 
  • Summer League- June to August
  • Fall League- October to December

Our program is divided into 4 different age groups, each designed to grow young athletes in their age-appropriate skill levels.

5-6 YEARS OLD (SATURDAY MORNINGS ONLY):

 

In our 5-6 age group we work on learning how to dribble, how to shoot and how to pass. This age group is 100% instructional and is designed to help our youngest athletes learn and love the game of basketball. Each Saturday during the season, this age begins with practicing drills and skills and finishes their time slot with a game.

7-10 YEARS OLD (MONDAYS OR TUESDAYS & EVERY SATURDAY)

 

Our 7-10 age group is designed to help young athletes grow and develop their skills in line with their growing and developing minds. During this middle childhood age, children become more adept at gross motor skills, consequently helping them to develop skills such as ball handling, hand-eye coordination, etc. While this age group is the beginning of competitive play, our talented coaches and professional referees take the time to teach the game of basketball.

11-13 YEARS OLD (WEDNESDAYS OR THURSDAYS & EVERY SATURDAY)

 

While the ages and competition may grow, our instructional style coaching does not take a back seat. Our 11-13 age group continues to work on learning the game and develop their skills. This group focuses on learning to see the floor, making the right plays and being good teammates. Our coaches and referees encourage and develop these athletes in each of their personal abilities while teaching them respect for the game and for others.

14-17 YEARS OLD (FRIDAY & SATURDAYS)

 

In our 14-17 age group athletes will face strong competition while continuing to learn fundamental basketball. Though this is our oldest age group they too are still growing and developing. This group works on things like offensive sets, team defense and confidence in their abilities. Our coaches help our athletes understand the game and see the court the way they should. This age group is the perfect opportunity for athletes preparing for middle and high school basketball.
