No. Attending the try out session does not guarantee you a spot in the training program. If you attend the try out session, our suggestion is that you sign up for our training program as early as possible once the registration link is open for our training program.
We would like to note that, in our try out session, we would not accept more than what our training programs can accomodate. So as long as you sign up early, you most likely can save a spot.
The age group for people attending our training programs is typically 18-40+. Our Beginner Class and Fundamental Class are suitable for wider age range as the intensity is not very high. We do not try to limit the age, but you should always assess your own health conditions and see if you are able to attend the training programs. And in our programs, you can take a break whenever you feel like it. Noted that you are taking all the risks yourselves by attending our training programs.

What is your basketball training goal?
Whatever it is, if it revolves around getting better I can help you achieve that. I believe everyone is unique and can perform in different areas on the court. I’m here to explore that with you. Before we dive in to that journey, we need to build a strong foundation. A strong and coordinated body is crucial for your success on the court. Ball handling/control and ability to play on both offense and defensive end will be the main focus of my class. After all, what’s the point of team ball if you can’t carry your own weight. I’m here to make you faster, stronger, quicker, and smoother.

My principle for basketball is teamwork and communication. As basketball is a team sport, I believe that players work best when they play as a team. My style of training is positive reinforcement and working hard. I will encourage my students a lot because I know positive reinforcement increases the confidence of the players. Also, require my student to work hard during practice. My goal is to deliver a good experience and ensure everyone has a good start on basketball. Wish every student in my classes to be trained in a positive way and have fun.

Jasmine Singh
What is your basketball goal?
I believe in getting a strong hold of the basics because without basics, any form is not that useful. Also, basketball is a team game and as much as individual skills matter, a strong team work and bond needs to be there. I tend to focus on individual as well as team building exercises so we emerge out not as an individual player but as a great team with strong basics that eventually creates a concrete base for other skills in the game.
