GROW THE GAME CAMPS
AT BY ANY MEANS, IT IS OUR NUMBER ONE MISSION TO GROW THE GAME...
We realize how global of a game basketball is, and the potential it has to change lives all around the world. We're on a journey to not only assist with this internationally, but to showcase basketball cultures around the map, even the ones you'd never think about!
Here's how we've been working to grow the game:
OUR BIG FOCUSES:
International camps and coaches' Education clinics (27 cities and counting!)
Showcasing hoopers and basketball cultures around the world through our @GrowTheGame Instagram account.
Our partnership with the Athlete Empowerment Initiative, a nonprofit aimed at building underserved basketball communities outside of the US.
WHAT MAKES OUR TRAINING DIFFERENT?
After travelling the world and learning from some of the top international trainers, see what makes us different from other programs in Upstate New York.
1. EUROPEAN-STYLE DEVELOPMENT
In our trainings we spend time developing players' IQ of the game, not just the flashy moves you see on T.V.
2. RESEARCH-BACKED DRILLS
Our process is backed by the latest scientific evidence, and all of our trainers are educated accordingly.
3. DIVERSITY AND CULTURE
We recognize that every player comes from a different background, and embrace diversity to learn about other cultures.
4. GAME SIMULATION
You won't see players dribbling around cones in our trainings (they can do that at home). Instead, we focus on putting players in situations they'll see in a game, to make them creative problem solvers.
