What
is IBA about?
|
Encouraging
kids! All kids mature and develop in different ways
and at different times. We believe kids need playing
time, with instruction, to improve as basketball
players. We teach kids how to play basketball for
fun and encourage them to develop good character
while playing.
We provide year round opportuities for all kids
to receive expert coaching and adequate playing
time needed for improvement. Few get the playing
time or coaching which fosters improvement in their
skills.
We try to treat each child as we would our own.
Not everyone is naturally blessed with tremendous
skill, but we do feel each child can learn the importance
of developing character through basketball which
will prove more valuable than their ability to play
basketball. For kids who were not selected for a
community travel team, we offer the opportunity
to attempt to develop skill and confidence to afford
them to possibly make such a team, once they mature
physically and as a basketball player. |
