At Playmaker Basketball Club we practice a philosophy that’s states “a great way to learn how to play the game, is to play the game”. This ideal inspired our organization to implement an innovative and educational program, our controlled Scrimmage basketball games, Basketball House League, Ontario Basketball League (OBA), and exhibition games with other Ontario basketball teams. In this class we conduct a session that withholds a curriculum developed to help participants learn the principals of playing the game of basketball. Every week in this 10-week program Coach Malik Grant, presents various sessions that contain a specific aspect and skill pertaining to the game such as spacing, transition defense, setting screens, ball movement etc.
