As such, TJ will serve as the primary training facility for all Centennials competitive TEAMS during the 2016 spring season. High quality youth skill and character development is very important to both the Centennials and TJ boys basketball coaching staffs. "This partnership creates a much-needed avenue of learning for youths that are serious about crafting their game, not just for those within TJ's immediate vicinity, but the greater Southeast Denver metro area as well," stated the Academy Founder, Armando Carrillo, Jr. This partnership is non-exclusive. The Academy will continue building relationships with other high schools in similar fashion, and will continue hosting year-round skills clinics, conducting private basketball coaching sessions and performance training in other gyms. Only through this approach, will the Academy do its part in helping to boost the quality and quantity of basketball talent that emerges out of our cherished Centennial state of Colorado.
When a young basketball player reaches a higher level of skill, the common assumption is that they should join an elite team to continue their development. However, there are significant benefits to playing on a development team—a team that may not be as competitive or skilled as others. Here’s why more skilled players can thrive in this environment.
1. Leadership Opportunities
2. Skill Mastery Through Teaching
3. Increased Playing Time
4. Building Resilience and Adaptability
5. Contributing to Team Growth
Conclusion While it may seem counterintuitive, skilled players can gain a lot from being on a development team. The opportunity to lead, teach, and refine their skills in a less pressured environment allows them to grow in ways that might not be possible on a high-level team. Additionally, they can build important qualities like resilience, patience, and adaptability, all of which are crucial for long-term success in basketball and beyond. For young athletes looking to round out their game and character, a development team can be an unexpected but valuable path.
