Why Be Average When You Can Be Premier?
Premier Level Sports is a basketball clinic centered on skill and player development. Powered by two coaches with 20+ years of combined experience teaching and coaching youths, PLS clinics are designed to teach proper fundamentals, develop skills, and build relationships based on trust.
We firmly believe that by building relationships with players, we can help them gain confidence on and off the court. At a young age, children are impressionable. They copy actions they witness around them, whether positive or negative. At a PLS clinic, we aim to create a positive and safe environment where kids can interact with one another and witness positive role models in action.
Like many competitive sports, the game of basketball is team-oriented. Though skills are developed individually, every drill is taught to better serve the team. Through a series of demonstrations, mental and physical drills, 5 on 5 games, and leadership training, players learn the concept of performing, relying on, and working with a team.
Who We Teach
Boys and girls, grades 4 and up, who are motivated to improve, passionate about the game, and driven to maximize their potential within the game of basketball.
Where We Teach
We are flexible when it comes to 1 on 1 and group coaching. We can come to you if you have gym access, Universal Academy for the College Bound-Webster campus.
The Coaches
By providing premier level coaching on the fundamentals of basketball, we empower young boys and girls to gain confidence, experience healthy competition, and develop work ethic in a fun and encouraging environment.
