Parent Story

“My child started barely able to dribble. A few months later, she’s confident, practices on her own, and can’t wait for class. The coaches truly care — it’s not just about basketball, it’s about building effort and belief.”

How Fundamentals First connects to the Young Ballers Leagues

Fundamentals First is designed to prepare players for game play the right way — by building ball control, footwork, shooting habits, and confidence before the pressure of competition.

Once players understand the basics, the Young Ballers League is the natural next step. This is where they apply what they’ve learned in a structured, supportive game environment — with coaching, teaching moments, and a pace built for beginners.

Skills are taught first — then reinforced through real game experience. This is part of the Coach Deon Development System .
