Hello parents, we will have an on going questions and answers to help our students and their parents have a better understanding of how we think and also teach your child.
Q: What should your child do with the ball as soon as they receive it, by either a rebound or still or a pass to a team mate?
A: Square up at their team’s basket. This means turn and look at their teams basket to see if anyone may be open ahead of them so they do not need to dribble unnecessarily and can advance the ball quicker.
If you have any question or confusions about the basketball skills, please contact us to let us know your question. We will post the question and the answer on this page.

I enrolled my 7th grade son last summer into the Play Smarter Basketball program based upon recommendations from some of my basketball coach friends. I am very pleased with the progress that my son has shown since he’s started going to the Saturday classes. He learns all kinds of basketball skills and techniques including handling the basketball, passing, shooting, court awareness, game strategies, and more. He has a great time and gets to play with other kids of varying sizes, ages, and skill levels. He looks forward to practicing and doesn’t even complain about getting up early on Saturday mornings.
In addition to having fun though, this basketball program will help prepare my son to play more serious high school basketball in another year or two if he is interested at that time. Coach Marquis and his assistant coaches all provide quality instruction and the kids have a great day. Coach Marquis even uses prizes to motivate the young basketball players to do well. In short, you can’t go wrong in signing up your kids with Play Smarter Basketball.
