Practice With A Pro
The “SBA Practice with the Pros” clinics are a once in a lifetime chance for area youth to play with and learn from former NBA Players, professional and collegiate athletes, and current professional SBA Street Ball All-Stars. The SBA initiates activities in a fun, safe, and positive environment, to help build character, confidence, responsibility, accountability, and a host of other qualities that will aid in personal, family, and community development within the youth in an effort to encourage, motivate, and teach young athletes to maximize their potential in sports, school, and life.
