Objective
The IAM Basketball Academy in Toronto is designed to be intense and challenge participants to develop in all aspects of the sport of basketball as well as to develop each individual’s personal capacity to be a positive member of society. Basketball is only one aspect of a player’s life and all our players are encouraged to put in an equal effort in all areas to achieve ultimate success now and in the future. We are heavily involved in our player's lives and want them to succeed in whatever path they choose.
Goals
The IAM Basketball Academy’s goal is to maximize athlete potential and give them the best opportunity to advance their athletic career. This is achieved through 42 hours of on-court fundamental skills training by the experienced university and pro-level twin brothers. Dwayne and Dane will lead the Basketball Academy.
Solution
The IAM Basketball Academy is a course intended to develop the all-round player. Early focus is on developing individual skill and building the aerobic running base. Both of these skills are essential when developing the more complex skills of team play and power or strength training. Finally, it is imperative that all students have a good understanding of the rules of play and the appropriate strategies to incorporate in play.
