During the NBA All-Star weekend, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver commented on the difference the league sees in its foreign players versus the U.S. players.
“It’s clear that the development is very different in many of those programs outside the US, more of a focus on practice, less of a focus on games, which seems to be the opposite of many of the youth programs in the U.S.”
Our March Madness Crusader Basketball enrichment aims to improve your son’s basketball skills and knowledge while allowing a time of directed play where they get a feel for the game.
