2017 Spring Basketball Academy Offerings

If you see a glimmer of potential in your son or daughter, simply finding him/her a spot on a basketball team with PLAYING GAMES as the primary focal point, chances are you are stunning their growth.

It's important to note that while we do some individual skills development during our Centennials team training sessions (practices), they are more team concepts-oriented. Team concepts include:

• Instilling the Academy's philosophy
• Inspiring a competitive and team-first spirit
• Implementing offensive and defensive basketball principles
• Assigning leaders and supporting roles on each basketball team
• Set plays on offense
• Defensive sets
• Lots of scrimmaging to apply all of the above

Youth basketball players will get MUCH MORE benefit from individual and small group training. For this reason, and aside from our competitive basketball teams, the Mile High Centennials is offering the following basketball training programs during the 2017 spring season (March - May):

Monday Nights Development League - SIGN UP >>

Spring Break Scrimmages Camp - SIGN UP >>
Our last holiday scrimmage camp was a hit, so we're doing it again. Controlled and timed GAMES and nothing more. We take injury prevention very seriously, so this camp is most ideal for 4th-12th graders with a solid understanding of the game and some skill to back it up.

• Tuesday, March 28 - Thursday, March 30, 2017
• 12:00 PM - 2:45 PM each day
• @ Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church, 1500 S Dayton St, Aurora, CO 80247
• Limited individual skills development, it's more about playing GAMES
• $75 standard rate or $37.50 discounted rate for those on a Centennials competitive spring team  (single day rates also available)

These youth basketball training clinics and camps are our way of offering a true Academy experience. We're about creating opportunities for kids to truly learn the game.
