Training is not compulsory at MAD to be selected in a team. We do however, prioritise players who commit to trainings. Our teams are stronger than most club teams simply because we train, we have a foundational offensive and defensive system in place, plus our teams train to develop their individual skills. The Importance of Training: • Player development is our primary focus. We believe skilled, smart and strong players are key if our teams are to compete at a high level. • As a parent its a proud moment seeing your child play with confidence. Training & repetitions, builds confident players. • Players who don't attend trainings usually fall behind during games because they don't know the plays, our defensive system and overall game plan. • During the tougher closely contested games, coaches usually field the team of 5 that understand the MAD game plan and can execute. • Our coaches and players also have a uniform basketball language/terminologies we use on a regular basis amongst our teams, this organises, unifies and limits confusion during games. We strongly encourage all players to attend trainings to continue their development. Checkout our team training schedule.
