Skills Development • Competitive Teams • Character Building
Next Play Skills Academy is a youth basketball program dedicated to helping athletes develop skills that will help them both on and off the court. Whether it's local development or national competitive play, Next Play offers both. This allows for a more balanced environment where your child's needs are met and they are given opportunities to be put in a position where their skill sets can be challenged for growth.
Our philosophy focuses on the "next play" mentality - teaching players to move forward from mistakes and constantly improve. We offer programs for all skill levels, from local development leagues to national competitive teams.
Tailored training for every athlete's needs
For players focused on developing through school basketball. We participate in tournaments around San Antonio to help players gain game experience and progress through the ranks.
For advanced players targeting college basketball. We compete nationally against top-tier competition in exposure tournaments with college programs in attendance.
One-on-one sessions focused on specific skill development. Sessions must be reserved in monthly increments (minimum 1 session/week).
Small group training sessions focusing on fundamental skill development. Groups are capped at 10 players to ensure quality instruction.
