Lions Basketball Sunday Skills Academy has been running throughout the year with great success.  The design for Sunday Skills is a monthly membership that allows for total flexibility for parents and students, and you can cancel at any time throughout the year.  Registered students can attend one or all of the Sunday Skills sessions each month.  It's completely up to you and your schedule.  Additionally, the monthly membership is affordable and is the equivalent cost of about 25% per session of what a local skills coach might charge in this area for instruction.  On top of that you will be working with THE BEST in the area with the staff at Vanguard University.  

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Lions Basketball Sunday Skills Academy we encourage athletes to excel on and off the court. Our staff teaches fundamental basketball skills through step-by-step instruction and live-action competition to get you ready for your first day of practice or to master your skills during the off-season. We discuss the importance of living with integrity and strong moral character. It’s an atmosphere where athletes can develop skills, have fun, and build confidence. Working directly with college coaches year-round is an unprecedented opportunity for your child to grow and be positively influenced in a major way.   Every Sunday evening before they leave our gym, your kids will be reminded of the goals they've set academically, athletically, socially, spiritually, and beyond, being challenged to prepare each week to be excellent and pursue victory with honor in everything they do.  We will help shape mindset in your kids!

Sunday Skills Academy runs continuously each Sunday throughout the year.  There will be only a few Sundays throughout the year with no sessions.  These include holidays or other special circumstances that will be communicated far in advance.  Sunday Skills Academy is built according to age groups with two 1-hour sessions.  Session I is for beginner to intermediate skills levels from 4pm - 5pm every Sunday and is for grades ranging from 2-5 (approximate age 8-11).  Session II is immediately following from 5pm - 6pm and is for kids in the intermediate-plus stage, or grades 4-8 (approximate age 10-14).  If your child falls in the overlap of grades, choose the session that is best for you!  For any special requests on session grouping (siblings need to be together) just call or email with the request.  Upon registration completion, you will receive a confirmation email that includes all the need-to-know's regarding check-in, location, safety procedures and waivers, and FAQ's.  Below, when you select membership, you will notice that a date pops up when your membership is set to expire.  This simply means that on the day after that "expiration date" your card will auto-renew your membership for the next month.  This auto-renew will continue unless you choose to cancel.
