Our Mission is to identify and fuel student’s individual passions by tying their interests to sports and academic support. By creating lasting relationships with our students and incorporating the core fundamentals of basketball and other sports, we equip our students with the confidence and skills to become productive members of their community. We provide effective and thoughtful supports to fight against the high school drop-out and obesity crises and to ready our students for a successful life.

Our Approach

At School of Skills we believe that in basketball, as in life, learning The Fundamentals prepares your son or daughter to excel on and off the Basketball Court.

We have a unique program at School of Skills. An outgrowth of our knowledge and experience, our approach is the key to School of Skill’s success. With our collective coaching and playing experience of 30+ years, we know basketball. We break it down into its basic components and teach—really teach—the techniques, skills, and fundamentals of the game. When your child practices and learns—really learns—these individual elements s/he can master the game.
