Competitive Sports Academy is offering a first-of-its-kind comprehensive development training program where teaching is conducted through small-sided games of (3v3, 4v4) and full-court games (5v5).
Our Development League is specifically designed for aspiring basketball players who are eager to learn the fundamentals of the game and for those who wish to deepen their existing knowledge and skills. Whether you're a beginner looking to grasp the basics or an experienced player aiming to refine your abilities, our program offers a comprehensive and supportive environment to help you achieve your goals.
Learning and teaching basketball through small-sided games of 3x3 and 4x4 before progressing to 5x5 offers several important benefits, which lay the foundation for more advanced play:
Skill Emphasis: Small-sided games focus on core individual skills such as dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense. Players get more opportunities to practice these skills in a game context, leading to better fundamental proficiency.
Increased Participation: With fewer players on the court, each athlete is more involved in the game. This increased participation means more touches on the ball, more decision-making opportunities, and more practice in a live setting.
Simplified Learning Environment: The reduced number of players simplifies the game, making it easier for beginners to understand basic concepts such as spacing, movement, and positioning. This less complex environment helps new players grasp the essentials without being overwhelmed.
Our 13-week program is designed to ensure players develop both individually and as part of a team, by balancing 3v3, 4v4 small-sided games, and 5v5 full-court games. Each age group’s curriculum is tailored to their developmental needs, gradually building up skills and game understanding. Through this structured approach, players will gain a comprehensive basketball education, preparing them for higher levels of competition.
Join with friends or we can place you on a team. Each session is 90 minutes long and will be split into two parts. For the first 40 minutes, all players in the same division will participate together in skill development drills. After the development session, the athletes will be split up into their respective teams and play three 10-minute games for 3v3 or 4v4 half-court games.
We will combine teams for 5v5 games.
