Youth Basketball Skills Training at SASF

Dear SASF Families,

We're excited to share a new youth basketball training opportunity through a partnership between the BOW Skills Academy and SASF.

The BOW Skills Academy is an elite basketball skill development program designed for athletes who want to build confidence, improve fundamentals, and develop stronger decision-making on the court.

This program provides structured, age-appropriate training in a positive and competitive environment, with athletes grouped by skill level to ensure quality instruction and meaningful development.

Program Information:

Location: SASF, 9040 High Tech Ct, Elk Grove
Day/Time: Mondays, 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM
Grades: 4th to 8th Grade (athletes grouped by skill level)
Cost: $35 per session

Skill Focus Areas Include:

  • Ball handling and footwork
  • Shooting and finishing
  • Game decision-making
  • Competitive small-sided gameplay
  • Confidence and basketball IQ

Training sessions are led by Coach Kiel Myers, who focuses on both skill development and mentorship — helping athletes grow not only as basketball players, but as confident and disciplined individuals.

Weekly spots are limited to maintain quality instruction.

We're proud to partner with Buckets On Wheels to provide high-quality basketball development opportunities for local youth and look forward to welcoming your athlete to the program.

Mark Your Calendars! Summer League is Back!

Mark your calendars for Summer League (June 22 - July 30, 2026) — we're excited to be back again this year! We will once again offer three divisions to ensure a fun and competitive experience for all players:

  • Rookies (Grades K–3 Coed Boys & Girls) - Thursdays
  • 4th–6th Grade Girls Division - Monday/Wednesday
  • 4th–6th Grade Boys Division - Monday/Wednesday

Please note: Grade levels are based on the 2026–2027 school year.

Last summer, it was incredible to watch all three divisions grow, compete, and enjoy the game in a positive and energetic atmosphere. We can't wait to see our youth back on the court again this year, building skills, confidence, and teamwork while having fun.

Online registration will be available via the Summer League web page starting in March.
