“Even the greatest players have a level of improvement to achieve.”
- Dr. Jack Ramsey, legendary NBA Coach
Did you know? In Europe the ball size and basket height are adjusted appropriate for age.
At young ages the ball is smaller and the height of the basket is lower. This helps player develop the correct fundamentals and not have to adjust their bodies just to reach the basket.
This is the reason the European players have begun to dominate at all levels as their technique in shooting, ballhandling and passing are often flawless.
