Participants will cheer once each week at the BUA developmental league, perform at different events in the community, and will host cheer events as well.

It is more of a one-on-one or small group setting stressing the athletes individual skills. If an athlete needs attention to their shot, work on their ball handling skills, or work on their one-on-one scoring ability, Advanced Training will cater to those problems. League Training may be more of a team based type of training in order for the student to build confidence through the duration of the league and hopefully carry on to their upcoming school or club season. FaqMaker http://www.bballuniverse.com/page6/page6.html#Is_training_included_with_the_l 2010-10-13T14:25:32.065-07:00 The developmental league includes training for many different reasons. One reason is that our main focus is on training, but without a game-like setting to place our students in along with the advanced training they receive, they will be less likely to reach their full potential through our program. Another reason is that we want the league to be as competitive as possible. With advanced training and games for the duration of the league, our students gradually improve day by day which raises the overall level of the league. The league training sessions are included in the league fee.

FaqMaker http://www.bballuniverse.com/page6/page6.html#What_is_the_BUA_Developmental_L 2010-10-13T14:23:06.131-07:00 BUA's Developmental League is not just an ordinary league. Of course we could always provide uniforms, organize rosters, have our participants run up and down the court day after day and not improve throughout the course of the league. However, We feel that just playing the game is no longer acceptable. We take pride in teaching which leads to a greater understanding of the game, more of an opportunity to excel as an athlete, more of an opportunity to enjoy the game, and enables the athlete to use what they have learned on the court and apply it off the court as well.

Each and every one of our trainers have played or coached the game on a high level. Most of our trainers have went on to play on a professional level at one time and some are still currently active in their professional career. This means that they have learned the game, which helped them get to where they are, and they are still learning the game on a professional level to this day. You may recognize the face of a BUA trainer as a past/present local athlete which is what we want in order to develop a relationship with the community.

The length of each session is determined by the amount of instruction needed. Some students may require an hour and others may require more depending on skill level.
