Our curriculum cycles players through different phases that aim to improve the neurological system to strengthen the joints that do the movements required on the basketball court. We believe players should develop a proper athletic foundation, learn specific joint angles, and learn to move dynamically out of those angles.

The curriculum focuses on one specific skill per month. Players engage with these skills during block training but are also challenged to focus on that skill in a small game setting that forces them to make decisions and work through constraints. Our players also participate in general games at the end of every session where they work inside of the conceptual offense that Next Level Basketball installs. They should be adept at the actions that are familiar in professional basketball. The primary focus of this is spacing and creating advantages on the floor and sharpening decision-making and execution.

Our club basketball teams are an extension of our player development program. Players in our program who reach Level 2 and Level 3 can be selected into our club teams, who will play competitive 5-on-5 games against other club teams during calendar seasons. Players in Level 1 play organized a 3-on-3 competition against their peers. For more information, go to the NLBYDL page!
