Developing The Future: U8/U10’s Junior Academy – Knox Raiders
At SRA Sports Therapy, we believe in setting athletes up for success from the very beginning. That’s why we have partnered with the Knox Raiders to introduce an Under 8’s & Under 10’s Development Academy – A Program designed to build the foundations of basketball skills and IQ, athleticism, confidence, injury prevention and long term success in the game of basketball.
Why We Are Involved:
Basketball is more than just a game; it’s a journey. Our goal is to give young athletes the knowledge and tools they need to develop skills that will support them as they grow into the sport. We focus on movement quality, coordination, balance, speed and agility, all within a fun and engaging environment. By starting early, we help build athletic habits and mindsets that set the stage for future performance and success.
The Knox Raiders have a rich history of developing elite-level athletes, and this academy is an extension of that excellence. We want to give the next generation of Raiders the best possible start, allowing them to grow into strong, confident and skilled athletes.
How It Works:
The Junior Academy is a structured 8 week program tailored specifically for young basketball athletes. Each session includes:
Dynamic Warm Up
