About wisc basketball
The WISC Basketball Academy is a series of classes designed for beginners and intermediate-level players interested in learning and/or becoming competitive in the sport. Currently, we are running two 5-7 year old classes, one 7-9 year old class, and one 9-12 year old class. Each group holds up to 20 players at a time, and each session is coached by one head coach with two assistants. The focus is on fundamentals: dribbling, passing, and shooting. For our older players, ages 9-12, the additional goal is to prepare them for competitive play, which involves the learning of offense/defense structures, technical skills, and movement on and off the ball. Ultimately, we want our players to all learn the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, and fairness, and to have a blast doing it!

what makes us different
Because we are a new program with a young and enthusiastic coaching staff, we’re not running the same basketball program that mom or dad would have had in PE or gym class as kids. In fact, our mission is not to conform the kids to a program, but rather build a program up around our kids. Player skill level, involvement, and experience plays a crucial aspect in the class-to-class fluctuation of our program. For instance, our younger players, the Little Layups group (5-7), have classes comprised of fun games that engage and teach simultaneously. Games include Lazy LeBron, where kids get to compete against one another in an offense vs. defense fast-break style game. Here they learn how to chase down a breakaway dribbler and protect the basket, but because they get the chance to play with their friends (and dribble a basketball!), they laugh and cheer the entire time.
