WHAT SHOULD YOUTH BASKETBALL LOOK LIKE?
Finding youth basketball programming that does what's best for kids can be difficult. MOKAN Basketball Club delivers a competitive & dependable youth basketball experience for long term success.
While winning is important, it unfortunately creates a crazed environment where parents scream at officials, coaches deploy harmful short-sighted tactics to win games and players long-term potential isn't prioritized. And then we wonder why 70% of kids stop playing organized sports by the age of 13. Each year, we help hundreds of young players avoid these pitfalls and prepare them for the next steps of their basketball journey.
As an organization, MOKAN Basketball has over 15 years of experience preparing high school players for the next level. We've had over 150 of our high school alumni go on to play college basketball, including 70+ at the NCAA Division I level and 12 in the NBA. From our experience, we've identified an approach to youth basketball that maximizes a player's potential.
Over the course of an MBC Season, players will: 1. Be taught offensive & defensive concepts. 2. Spend crucial practice time developing a real basketball skill-set. 3. Be challenged at their level of competition and held accountable by coaches.
A player's youth basketball experience matters -- it sets the table for what's to come. Register today for tryouts or contact us to schedule an evaluation for your player.
WHAT'S THE INVESTMENT?
Who's coaching your player and are they qualified? Does your current team spend precious practice time rehearsing plays or learning how to play? Who's overseeing your player's team and holding the coach accountable? Most importantly, is your player's basketball experience focused on their long-term development?
