Our Ulterior Motive
The invaluable lessons learnt in NEXT GEN Elites extend far beyond the duration of each session. Our ultimate goal is not only to help athletes improve their basketball skills, but also to instill life skills such as communication, resilience, discipline, and patience, which are crucial for success in their adult lives.
These traits are essential not just on the court, but also in navigating the challenges and obstacles that life presents. By emphasizing these qualities during training, we are equipping our athletes with the tools they need to flourish both in basketball and in life
