In 2019 our Development Youth Program took on a new structure.

We realize that as the program progresses, so does the abilities and skills of the players enrolled and so we created an advanced program for players who have been assessed and evaluated through previous Rise programs and have shown they are ready for more advanced instruction.

​

Development Players

​

  • Emphasis on "fun" of the sport

  • Focus on Further Learning the Rules of Basketball

  • Learning the Basics in Ball Control and Ball Handling

  • Learning Coordination and Footwork

  • Developing Shooting Abilities

 Advanced Players

​

When available, Rise will run programs specifically catering to Advanced Athletes.

​

Please note that should a player register into an advanced program and is later assed by a coach and found to require further fundamental development, we will remove the player from the program and place him in the appropriate level. If you are unsure if you should register into a program, please register into the program of your choice and a coach will determine if you are ready for the level of instruction chosen.

​

Advanced Programs are Seasonal and limited openings will be available.

​

Players Invited to Advanced training:

  • Display an understanding of the rules

  • Display attention to details during drills

  • Emphasis on "competition" of the sport

  • Display advancement in agility and movement mechanics

  • Display understanding of more advanced footwork

  • Ready for more advanced ball handling drills

​

​

*All NEW first time registrants to any Rise programs between the ages of 5-12 MUST register into a YOUTH DEVELOPMENT program in order to get skills assessment from a Coach. Players found to need more basketball IQ and skill development will continue to enrol in the development program in order to further develop the necessary skills for growth into more advanced Rise programs.
