Please don't confuse developmental with recreational. The mission of this program is to provide a competitive basketball environment without the commitment of playing the entire Spring and Summer. This program is specifically design to appeal to our younger players (Grades 2 to 5) whose families wish to balance playing a competitive basketball season, with having a life and some time for relaxation during the summer time.
This is a travel basketball team, but without the out of town travel. All tournaments will be played with the Metro Atlanta Area, and yes Forsyth County is considered Metro Atlanta. The Spring season will consist of 4-5 tournaments, with the season concluding with a trip to the YBOA GA State Championships, and the season will run March through May.
As with all of our programs, player development is the foundation. Every player in the Elementary Developmental Program will be tested using the state of art sensor basketball from 94Fifty. The test results will provided a tailor made program for each player to help improve their dribbling and shooting skills. The prescribed drills can be accessed and viewed over the web using your PC, laptop, IPad, or any other smart device with internet access. And because the results and drills are web-based, we expect the player to take accountable for their development by accessing these greats tools and work on the game at home. We are extremely excited to provide this to our players and we are convinced it will help us advance in our mission of building a Better Basketball Player.
Our player development methodology, however, doesn't end with the 94Fifty testing. D-DAY, as it is affectionately known, is a separate day dedicated to player improvement with hands on instruction from the GP coaching staff and other well respected professionals. D-DAY is typically on Monday, when the athlete is at his/her freshest, both from a physical, mental and spiritual perspective. The objective is to place emphasis on the player's weakness, enhance their strengths, witness the improvement during the team practices, and then stand in amazement as the hard work manifest itself on the court. D-Day is provided FREE of charge for those players that are registered for Elementary Development Teams.
