AEF Academy SHOOTING STARS

…a new Basketball Program for 1st/2nd Grade Boys and Girls!

Welcome to our 1st/2nd grade basketball program, where we teach young athletes the fundamentals of basketball while emphasizing teamwork, sportsmanship, and fun. Our AEF skill instructors will guide your athlete safely in learning how to dribble, shoot, pass, and defend. Our program also emphasizes character development, teaching young athletes to work together, support one another, and give their best effort. We create an environment that fosters respect, kindness, and a true love of the game!
