Youth Basketball: What Parents Should be Keeping in Mind Whether you’re just starting out in the sport or well on your way to playing club ball, a basketball parent comes to realize that basketball, like some other sports, is one that has a culture all its own. Some of these things you will no doubt be familiar with – others, perhaps, not so much. Here are a few things I’ve learned over the years as a basketball parent: 1. It is perfectly normal for your first youth basketball game, especially if your kids are younger than five, to resemble that of circus or farm. There are wandering cattle, lost sheep, and lots of whistles. 2. As a parent of a little dribbler, you might feel you need to purchase “the best” basketball shoes so that your child’s ankles are fully supported. This parent didn’t. Our daughter wore her typical athletic sneakers her first season. For our child’s second basketball season, we bought the least expensive basketball shoe at our local sports store. Our young kids...

  Your child's first basketball class is coming, and if you still don't know what equipment will be needed...Don't worry, we have made a list of essentials that your child must have for that exciting first basketball experience.  1) Shoes: Wearing any kind of sport shoes will prevent ankle and foot injuries substantially during practice, and in game enivronments. They protect your child's feet, while they run and jump on a hard-court, which the game is played on.   2) Shorts: Moving while practicing and playing will be much easier with athletic-styled shorts. Something like the style pictured below, is ideal.   3 T-Shirt:  Wearing any regular t-shirt will also help with movement.  4.Socks: Socks that are too thin, or made of thin material, will rub at your child’s feet. The feeling can be uncomfortable. Socks that are too thick, will cause your child's feet to sweat, which is also uncomfortable.   We’d suggest athletic socks, as they are made for vigor...

As we get closer to reopening our gym classes for basketball training, we also need to make sure safety protocols are in place to combat Covid19. Following the guidelines published by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we hope for everyone to remember the basket when playing basketball.  Be tested for Covid19  We are in the business of providing basketball lessons to kids but the safety of everybody remains to be our top priority. Parents can rest assured that our coaches and staff at the gym are tested for the novel corona virus.  Always wear a mask  Coaches and parents are advised to wear a mask when unable to maintain a 6-feet physical distance from each other during basketball sessions. Kids will not be required to wear a mask during training or games. Sanitized gym and sports equipment  Regular disinfection and sanitization will be conducted to make sure the gym and necessary sports equipment are safe to use. Frequent hand washing wil...

If you’re a parent looking for reasons why you should enroll your kid in basketball, look no further. Let us be the one to shed light on the topic. Basketball, or sports in general, remains to be a big part of modern society. Some kids do it because it’s fun, some just do it because of pressure, while some do it because they want to become pros later in their lives. No matter the reason for playing basketball, we know there’s a lot your kid can learn from it.  Develop self-discipline. Basketball is a game that requires constant movement. As a player, your kid has to run, dribble, pass and, shoot, and that’s a good thing. As your kid gets exhausted, sweat, and maybe shed a tear or two, you’re helping them develop the self-discipline that they need as they grow older to become responsible adults. Overcome challenges. Facing an opponent in court is a challenge in itself. Your kid can learn to overcome challenges better by listening to the coach, learning to be a team player and, knowi...

For most spectators, playing basketball may not seem to be a big deal. They see players dribbling, passing and shooting baskets – or missing some – and think to themselves that that’s all to it. But each and every player knows that to earn a spot in the team, you need to put in a lot of effort, hard work, and dedication to play the game of basketball. “Remember that basketball is a game of habits. If you make the other guy deviate from his habits, you’ve got him” – Bill Russell “Remember that basketball is a game of habits.” Bill Russell is right, and we can’t emphasize enough the importance of a basketball routine and developing a healthy habit out of it. As gyms remain closed for now, consider having your basketball routine right from your own home. Start by doing simple drills and move forward from there. Dribble and pass on Mondays and Fridays, shoot on Tuesdays, and stretch and do station drills on Wednesdays. This not only helps to improve muscle memory and build a strong immune ...

When James Naismith invented basketball back in 1891, it was to provide “athletic distraction” to his students who were getting rowdy during the New England winter; and it worked! The game has since then become a prominent sport with the main goal of one team scoring more points than the other.  That may be well and good, but here at Royal Basketball School, we believe that this sport offers so much more. With our year-round basketball program, we believe that not only can we develop great athletes, we can also develop even greater people. This is possible because we respect each athlete, admire teamwork and lead with integrity. 🏀🏀🏀 With this goal in mind, the pandemic hasn’t stopped us from providing sessions to kids eager and excited to play basketball. Our coaches cater to year-round private, semi-private and even on-demand classes. Each program has been designed to achieve different objectives, in different formats.  Get to know more about these programs.  here: ht...
