Academics
Our Philosophy
It is important to keep your child’s mind engaged. Just like sports, reading and math skills must be trained everyday in order to get better. If your child stops practicing basketball for 3 months, they will not be able to make their layups, hit the outside shot or dribble past the defender as easily. The same idea works with the skills your child learns in school. ABC Pilsen offers them the opportunity to work out their brain along with the rest of their bodies, so they don’t go back to school rusty!
The ABC academic program begins July 10th.
Participants can choose any of the options in their age category to complete the academic requirements. Participation in at least one option is required. Coaches will check weekly with parents and teachers to determine eligibility to play.
Ages 5 – 8
Ages 9 – 12
Ages 12 – 16
