Deen Team 12u

Deen Team 14u

We separate and group kids by skill so each child will get the most out of the day’s workout. Each class is scaled up or down based on the skill level of the kids in the class so it’s always the right amount of intensity and challenge. It’s our goal to help improve each child’s skills and understanding of the game and have fun doing it.
We fuse the Deen into our training with chants, surahs, stories of the prophets and motivation sayings. Its all done in a fun and loving way to build confidence and love and knowledge of self.
Year-round group training allows kids to develop and improve their skills more rapidly. Our group ages are 10U (ages 9 to 6), 12U (ages 12 to 10), and 15u (ages 15 to 13). We spend the first 25-35 minutes doing skill work, and the final 15-25 minutes practicing competitive situations to prepare our kids for AAU or school teams.
