The Las Vegas Athletics of Basketball is dedicated to providing elite basketball performance training, mentorship, and student resources to help create positive social change on and off the court for our Community Youth Athletes. Our organization uses the evidence based program: Positive Youth Development (PYD) to expand each participant's full potential. It is our priority to provide access to the best player experience year-round by creating trust and confidence with each athlete. Understanding players' individual learning style is the key to effective physical and mental development.
From intermediate youth to professional players, we welcome all skill level training for our participants. Through positive mentorship and a detailed training approach, players have the opportunity to accomplish personal and athletic goals, impact their game and believe in their abilities on and off the court. At the L.A.B. prepare to Learn, Attain and Believe in yourself!
