Our training sessions are 60 to 90 minutes long, the frequency of the training depends on your child’s skill level.

NBA Basketball School is for boys and girls from 7 – 19 years old.  Our curriculum caters to all abilities from beginners to elite.  To sign up, contact a member of our operations team (052 832 8761 or info@nbaschooluae.com) who will share with you all the information required. 

After receiving the details and understanding the commitment to the programme, you may book a trial.  There are two types of trials; usually towards the end of a term and at the start of a new term we host a trial dedicated session whereby all players wishing to join are invited to.  If a player would like to join mid-way through the term, they are invited to a trial during a training session where there is space. 

Players should come to the trial wearing comfortable workout clothes and suitable footwear, with a water bottle to keep hydrated.

After the trial has taken place and the operation team have received the technical feedback, players will be offered a space on the team according to their ability and where there is space. Spaces on teams are reserved on a first come first serve basis. Parents are required to fulfill all registration procedures before their player attends the first session. 

Players are required to attend practice in their official NBA Basketball School kit and suitable basketball trainers. Players should have enough water with them to last during the training sessions (there are no dispensers to refill water at school during this time).

No jewelry is allowed (if newly pierced ears please cover with medical tape.) Players with long hair should tie it back.

All valuables should be left at home and not taken to practice.  On the occasion that a player does take valuables, these will be the sole responsibility of the players and any loss or damage will be the full responsibility of the player and not be the responsibility of NBA Basketball School, StryxSports or the venue where practice is taking place. 

Players are grouped by ability to ensure each individual is playing with others of a similar skill level. The NBA Basketball School caters for all ability players from beginners to elite.
