Axe Basketball will strive to create an appropriate participation climate for kids to enjoy basketball and achieve success in line with their aspirations and interest.

Our Player Pathway will be focused on:

  1. A games-based model of development that fits with the modern game.

  2. Modern, evidence-based ways of positive coaching and effective teaching.

  3. Developing the Global player capable of multiple skills, not rigid player positions and silos of skills.

  4. Grouping athletes by skill and stage of development more than age or gender.

  5. Thinking in the long-term in the hopes of benefiting the athletes of the Annapolis Valley for years to come.

  6. Providing different participation options for athletes of varying interest and abilities.
