The Roos Skills Academy gives athletes consistent, structured basketball development in a small-group setting. Sessions focus on the individual skills, movement and decision-making athletes need to become better players.
WHAT IS THE ROOS SKILLS ACADEMY?
The Academy is the development side of Tallawah Roos Basketball.
Athletes train in small groups where coaches can provide instruction, repetition and feedback while still creating competitive situations.
