MAD ATHLETICS PATHWAY
Start It.
Introduction ignites interest. Every kid starts the game in a different fashion. Some at home with toy hoop, others in school at the gym.
Explore It.
With initial interest comes exploration. Exploring opportunities to play basketball are vital to a youth’s continued interest.
Learn It.
Many young players develop skills by emulating their peers or a star they watch at a higher level. They learn a basic understanding of the game.
Perform It.
The next stage is participation. This includes continued structured play on local, club, or travel teams, school teams and non-structured play.
About MAD Athletics?
Modern Athlete Development Athletics a.k.a. MAD Athletics. In recent years, youth basketball has lacked guidelines around health and wellness and consistent game play standards. We believe that playing basketball should foster the development of peer relationships, self-esteem, leadership qualities, and physical health.
MAD Athletics is a dedicated program designed to help develop the young boys and girls approach to performance sports, by creating an environment that prioritizes the health and well-being of young athletes and promotes their enjoyment and development in the game.
