The game of basketball has
become the focus of tremendous attention in
the sporting world. Every March our nation
is captivated by the NCAA Tournament and
March Madness. Rarely do we watch TV and not
see a NBA star advertising shoes, cars, cell
phones, etc. Our society loves the game of
basketball.
Unfortunately, a trend is starting to appear
at all levels of this great game. Even
though players are bigger, faster, and
stronger than ever before, the overall skill
level of basketball players has taken a
dramatic dip. The fundamentals of the game
are being over looked. Proper footwork,
shooting mechanics, triple threat position,
and passing angles have taken a backseat to
slam dunking, one-on-one play, and poor
shooting percentages. The game of basketball
has become an athletic contest and skill
levels are grossly neglected.
Lack of the fundamentals is the primary
reason The Arizona Premier Basketball
Academy is in existence.
The mission of APBA
is to restore the beauty of basketball by
teaching individual skills to players of all
ages, gender, and ability. The Academy is
made up of former college basketball players
and coaches who have had very successful
careers in the sport of basketball. These
gentlemen have been a part of championship
caliber teams, having played and coached in
the nation’s finest arenas on national
television. The experience and knowledge of
these instructors is enormous. They have
come together to form The Arizona Premier
Basketball Academy to help young girls and
boys learn to play the game the proper way.
APBA is committed to teaching fundamentals
in an age appropriate, progressive manner.
It is the ultimate goal of APBA to see young
people grow in their love and desire to
become a quality basketball player.
