Basketball
This Clinic brought to you by Stanford Park Youth Sports will challenge players mentally and physically to help them become the best possible versions of themselves on and off the court. 60 minutes sessions led by our experienced coaches who not only played on the collegiate level but pursued their careers playing overseas. Shooting, footwork, ball-handling, defense, rebounding, and passing are some of the vital pieces of the game. Our philosophy encourages kids to confidently and consistently work hard towards their goals and aspirations on and off the court. We use a positive approach to encourage confidence, develop life skills, and promote teamwork. We understand the importance of patience, creativity, and fun to keep our players engaged and focused. We believe in developing the entire player, so off court development is just as important as on court development. We use basketball as a tool to develop the entire child. Our goal is for kids to have success in school, college, and in life. No matter which stage your child is in their journey, we will motivate and guide them to elevate their game while understanding and applying the philosophy.

Nexplore Games is an innovative program that uses an internationally acclaimed selection of strategy and mind games to enhance 21st century life skills and teach students how to think, rather than what to think. Our mission to use award-winning selection of mind and strategy games from all over the world to teach a vast array of 21st century skills, addressing logic/reasoning, social, emotional, study skills, values, leadership, communication, science & environment, mathematics, reading/language arts, economy and entrepreneurship. We believe, that, with this kind of thinking “tool kit,” Nexplore Games students will be better equipped to face the multiple, complex challenges of the 21st century. Nexplore Games is the bridge that connects the world of games to the real world. During the course, students reflect upon and learn meta-cognitive models, which are then applied to all walks of life and scholastic achievements. Our methodology to “Play. Learn. Apply.” approaches the education process as a fun, informative and transferable experience. The Nexplore Games curriculum and methodology is inspired by Aristotle’s appreciation of play, David Perkin’ Transference Theory, Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory and Herbert Simon’s Understanding Process: Problem Isomorphs. Each of these theorists contributes valuable ideas supporting the importance of using games to develop skills that can be applied to real life.
