3 programs - Progress at your own pace
At Rise we know that each player progresses at their own pace. No matter your starting point we have a program for you. As you learn the game we move you right into the next level. This way players always get the right level of challenge.
Level 1 - Fun Start
Ideal for boys and girls 5-8 years old
This is the beginning. We work on basic skills by almost exclusively using fun basketball adjacent games that get players pivoting, dribbling with their eyes up with each hand, passing, catching, introducing proper shooting form and layups. They also begin to know the basketball court and basic rules of the game. Players should expect to play for about 15-40 hours before rising to the next level.
Level 2 - Let’s Play
Ideal for boys and girls 6-10 years old
At this level, players have just enough skills and knowledge to start to play real basketball games. Players work on mastering basic layups with each hand, learn how to use basic dribbles against defense, and begin to master stationary shooting form. Modified basketball games are used to grow players ability to start making basic basketball decisions. Players should expect to train about 30-100 hours at this level and be consistently physically active including non-basketball activities before rising to the next level.
Level 3 - Rep Prep
Ideal for boys and girls aged 8-12, including players just starting out with rep teams
At this level, players understand the basics of basketball and can perform things like layups occasionally in game settings. Basic basketball footwork is becoming automatic in game settings. Players are becoming comfortable playing against aggressive defense. The goal is to increase speed and consistency of basic basketball moves against defense and to introduce more advanced skills such as shooting on the move, passing with each hand, footwork for beating defenders, how to play without the ball on offense and basic defensive positioning and communication. Modified scrimmages and real games are used to develop decision making. Players should expect to train 150-300 hours before moving to the next level.
