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 Club is in
existence.
Arizona Premier Basketball Club works
side by side with Premier Basketball Academy
of Arizona. The Premier Basketball
Academy of Arizona's mission is to restore
the beauty of basketball by teaching
individual skills to players of all ages,
gender, and abilities. Arizona Premier
Basketball Club follows the same mission as
it allows kids to use what they learn in
academy and put it in use during games.
Arizona Premier Basketball Club believes in
playing basketball the way it was meant to
be played (skilled and intelligent players
making forming together as one to create a
successful team. Arizona Premier
Basketball Club believes strongly in
teaching the game and helping players
develop on and off the court.
The Academy and the Club are made up of former college basketball players,
Professional 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.
The Arizona Premier Basketball Club has
had tremendous success on and off the court.
With hard work and dedication from the
players, coaches, and trainers the athletes
at Arizona Premier Basketball Club have been
given opportunities to play at the next
level. The Club allows the athletes to
develop as players, be COACHED on how to
become better players, gain exposure through
multiple tournaments (in state and out of
state), and communicate with college coaches
to find opportunities to play at the next
level. Not all players go on to play
professional basketball or even college
basketball, so Premier is proud to know that
our kids have developed off the court as
well. As trainers and coaches it is
our responsibility to teach the game of life
through the game of basketball. So many
things that can make you a successful
individual off the court can be learned and
practice using the game of basketball.
