Sam Sutton's Skills Academy

🏀 Special Shoutout to Kenzo!

A big congratulations to our guy Kenzo, one of our 1st grade students, who reached a major milestone this week — his first basket on a regulation hoop! 🎉

In our Fundamental Basketball Classes, most young players start on 8- or 9-foot baskets as they build the strength, confidence, and proper mechanics needed for the full-size rim. That progression is all part of the development process.

Kenzo has been with us for a while now, and we’ve had the chance to watch him grow tremendously — improving his skills, confidence, and love for the game every week. Seeing him knock down his first shot on the big basket was a proud moment for all of us.

Moments like this are what development is all about.

Our Fundamental Basketball Classes are held Sundays and Mondays for Kindergarten through early-learning 4th graders who are interested in learning the game the right way.

Keep working, Kenzo. We’re proud of you! 💪🏀

We provide free weekly training sessions for York city youth. If you're interested, please sign your child up as spots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Thank you!

🏀 SUNDAY BASKETBALL TRAINING (GET READY FOR AAU SEASON)🏀

AAU season is right around the corner.

Uniforms are ordered.
Teams are forming.
Schedules are filling up.

But here’s the real question for players and parents:

What improvements were made between seasons?

Too many athletes finish one season and jump straight into the next without getting better. The same habits. The same weaknesses. The same results.

Games don’t develop players.
Intentional training does.

Before the travel tournaments, before the rankings, before the long weekends in gyms, the real investment has to be made in skill development.

That’s what Sundays are for.

⏰ Tonight’s Training
• “Fun”damentals — 5:00 PM
Grades K–4 learning the game the right way.

• Dribbling — 6:00PM
Experienced 4th Grade – 12th Grade
Ball control, confidence, and handling pressure.

• Shooting — 7:00 PM
Grades 5–12
Game-speed reps and mechanics that translate into real scoring.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parents:
The best investment in AAU isn’t just the team fee — it’s the development work between games.

🏀 Players:
If you want this season to look different, your preparation has to be different.

Don’t enter another season the same player.

Welcome To Hard Work.
