Our Approach
The Philadelphia Basketball
School Difference
What sets our training apart is our commitment to purposeful practice,
elite coaching, and holistic player development.
Deliberate Drills
Every drill is planned follows the daily focus, a specific area of the game we teach from the ground up.
No Wasted Time
We keep things moving, and get the absolute most out of every session.
Coaches who Played at the Highest Level
Our coaches all played college basketball, and are passionate about passing on the lessons they learned during their time as an athlete.
Competitive Fun
Each session features a weekly competition, and players are broken up into teams for a mini-league that lasts the whole season.
Mindset Discussions
We spend time teaching mental fitness and performance, including concepts like the "flow state", and what it means to be a good teammate.
Lifeskills and Community
We create an inclusive environment where players can make friends, feel welcomed, and have a community to fall back on.

“"My 11 year old son was brand new to the game, and Ben and his coaches helped transform him from a kid who was afraid to get the ball or take a shot, into a confident player who understood the game. Whenever he struggled with a concept, the coaches knew just how to help him, both physically and mentally. Recently, my son ended up the highest scorer on his team for the season, but more importantly, he loves the game and has a higher level of confidence on and off the court, due in large part to Philadelphia Basketball School."
“"My son participated in the basketball clinic run by Ben and Bruce at the Rocky Run YMCA. It was fantastic! The coaches really taught the kids new skills, and team play and tactics. They were fun and kind, but also strict and it helped the kids stay focused. It was amazing to see the improvements over the course of the clinic and I wish we could have them teach a clinic there year round! Highly recommend the investment of time and cost into any clinic this team has to offer."
“"My son Rich had a blast with Philadelphia Basketball School's weekly clinic! He learned new skills and gained confidence in himself. The coaches are talented, not just with basketball but with engaging the players and keeping them motivated. Coach Jake and Coach Tommy taught and modeled good sportsmanship. They set high expectations for the players and were encouraging and kind. Rich has said he's excited for the next season with his team to show what he's learned at clinic."
“"Ben, after 3 consecutive days of tryouts and more than 25 kids cut, Landon made the Radnor Middle School Basketball team tonight! Thanks so much for all your help. He's super excited, as am I!"
