Mind First
"90% of the game is mental, the other half is physical."
The mental edge.
Skills are important. Good fundamentals are important. At Ambers Basketball, we focus on the unseen. The work habits. The preparation. The attitude and mindset needed for success.
We apply that same philosophy to the game. It’s not just knowing how to shoot or pass the basketball. It’s knowing the right time to do each. It’s seeing the court, the players, and understanding the game in a way that will make you a better individual player and teammate.

Development over the Years.
Be prepared for the next level by starting today.
Being great at anything takes time, talent, and practice. It is important how you practice. Building good habits, methods, and routines at a young age can allow any player to succeed at the next level. Our success is driven by developing a foundation of skills and behaviors to build on as an athlete advances. These skills go beyond basketball. These are tools that can be used in the classroom, on the court, and in life.
