Doc's Youth Basketball Academy is designed for players entering 1st - 8th grades. The morning session is for players entering grades 1-4 and the afternoon is for grades 5-8.

Coaching is grounded in teaching fundamentals that players will love to learn and integrating those skills into games and competition.

Demonstrations, explanations, and repetitions are all crucial to how our coaches teach the game -- so players learn to play the right way. There are big emphases on correct footwork and physical techniques as well as the mental aspects of the game.



Braun Gym at Caltech serves as our home base.
