Arizona All-Stars Basketball Academy
Year-round basketball training program for those serious about the game
Some say that Basketball does not create character, but rather, reveals it. We believe that the intense heat from the fire of this great sport simultaneouly forges both a development and revelation of character.
Unlike many other major sports, the basketball stage reflects everything for all to see and does so at a continuous fast pace. Good or bad, strengths and weaknesses will manifest themselves very quickly. Time outs are brief, there is no waiting on the sidelines while others are at the plate or on offense, defense, or on special teams. The game demands that all five players on the court play both a high level of offense and defense at all a times or they will quickly be embarrased by stronger, quicker, faster, more fundamentally sound players. Basketball has no mercy on weaknesses. The player must be able to put the ball in the hole or stop the ball from being put in the hole or he won't be on the hardcourt for long. Period.
Enter the All-Stars Basketball Academy. We train and we do so smart, hard and incessantly. But we are not for everyone. Not all parents and student-athletes can maintain the intense pace and commitment to mastering both the art and the science of basketball that we require to realistically be able to succeed at this extremely competitive game. There is no short cut or miracle pill that we offer to transform a good player to a great player. We don't come from "the league" or claim to "know-it all" about everything because we don't know everything. But we do know basketball and how to develop elite players.
It takes hard, smart and incessant training to go from good to great. Going from good to great is our specialty. If you make basketball your life and are willing to sacrifice everything but academics in the name of the game, we are the basketball academy program for you. We don't want to waste your time nor do we want to waste ours. Life is short and we want to make the most of it at our academy.
If you want to make lay ups, in traffic, with either hand, we are for you. If you want to make those lay-ups with reverses using either hand while elevating from either foot, we are for you. If you want to make 20 out of 25 3-pointers, consistently, we are for you. If you want to be at 90% or higher with free-throws, we are for you. If you want to master the art of creating your own pull-up shots and making them consistenly, we are for you. If you want to truly control the ball with your ball-handling, we are for you. If you want to be known as a defensive stopper, a specialist at not allowing elite players to score, we are for you. If you want to learn how to attack the paint with abandon showing no fear and in control, we are for you. If you want to box out and rebound as if your life depended on it, we are for you. If you want to increase your basketball IQ, your ability to pass and to have what we call "Nash Vision," we are for you. If you are willing to put the same effort into our program a year from now as you are the day you start, we are for you.
If not, there are many club teams, academies, trainers and others who will embrace you because we will not be for you.
