Basketball Academy

Basketball training at Maplewood Sports Academy

Dribble, Drive, Score

Our basketball academy runs in an air-conditioned indoor sports hall, all year round. Children learn to dribble, pass and shoot, then put it together in team play.

Younger players use mini-ball hoops and lighter balls so they can succeed from the first session.
