Pre-Season Prep and IBL – Youth Games

Basics will host officiated games every Saturday in Ferrysburg.

NOTE: Each game is LIMITED TO 14 players.  That is 2 subs per team.  Everybody plays a TON.  An example of the type of player we help develop is below.

Dexter played in the IBL from 3rd grade to 6th grade.  How sharp are your skills, how good is your conditioning and do the players understand what mental toughness really is?  Basics fosters these 3 key ingredients in any athlete.

Basics offers the premier model in youth basketball skill development and competitive growth.  And we NEVER TRAVEL.
