INTRO TO BASKETBALL

Adult and child practicing basketball on an indoor court, with the child dribbling and the adult coaching or guiding.
  • Our Intro to Basketball program is built for kids who are brand new to the game. No experience needed — just energy and excitement! Every class is designed to be welcoming, fun, and confidence-building for young athletes taking their first steps on the court.

  • We teach the building blocks of basketball — dribbling, passing, shooting, defense, and teamwork — in a simple and engaging way. Each session gives players the foundation they need to grow into confident, skilled athletes.

  • Basketball is more than a sport — it’s a tool to teach life lessons. Our coaches emphasize the values of GREAT: Gratitude, Respect, Effort, Attitude, and Teamwork. These lessons stick with players both on and off the court.

  • Every player leaves with real growth — in skills, confidence, and character. By the end of each session, kids don’t just know the game better, they also feel part of the GT family and ready for the next step in their basketball journey.
