What We Do
At the Nook Girls Basketball Academy, we aspire to produce champions in basketball, and in life, by providing a competitive yet positive, safe and fun environment where each individual can Play, Train, and Compete. In conjunction with the development of specific basketball skills, we emphasize the importance of proper nutrition, fitness and conditioning so that our players can maximize their potential. For us, the basketball court is not only where we teach our players how to play the sport; it’s our classroom where we teach lessons of character, discipline, respect, responsibility, leadership, teamwork and the importance of sacrifice and sportsmanship.
Our Teams
All players receive an annual Spooky Nook Sports Youth Fitness Membership (a $228 value). An athletic trainer will be on site for all practices and home tournaments.
