GG FUNdamentals is for young athletes ages 7–11 who need a strong base of movement, coordination, and simple, high-quality basketball skills. Most youth practices are focused on plays and preparing for games, which leaves kids without the individual skill work and physical development they need to grow. This program fills that gap with fun, age-appropriate training that builds both athleticism and confidence. -We offer two training days each week, and your athlete can attend either day or both under one monthly membership. Each day has a slightly different emphasis to match where your athlete is developmentally:

LOCATION: First Christian Church Gym 175 E John Rowan Blvd, Bardstown, KY 40004

Wednesdays 4pm-5pm — “Foundation Day” (Ideal for Ages 7–9) We slow things down and focus on the fundamentals: dribbling, footwork, balance, body control, and basic movement patterns that kids don’t get enough of anymore with less outdoor free play. We introduce early shooting form, stopping ability, cutting mechanics, and fun games that build coordination and confidence.

Fridays 4pm-5pm — “Development Day” (Ideal for Ages 10–11) A bit more advanced, these sessions challenge athletes with speed, reaction drills, age-appropriate strength work, agility, and more complex ball-handling and footwork. It stays fun, safe, and positive — but pushes kids toward real athletic growth.

No matter which day they attend, every athlete receives individual attention in a small-group setting (max 10 athletes per session). The goal is to build young athletes who are strong, coordinated, confident with the ball, and able to fit into any team or coaching system.

If your child needs better fundamentals, improved athletic movement, or just a fun, engaging place to learn the game the right way, GG FUNdamentals gives them everything they need to grow and thrive. Sessions are fast-paced, positive, and built around fun, so kids stay engaged while improving their skills and athleticism. Every drill has a purpose, and every athlete gets individual attention.

The goal of this program is simple: give young players the physical tools and basketball fundamentals to succeed on any team, with any coach, in any system. When kids feel strong, coordinated, and confident with the ball, they learn faster, play smarter, and enjoy the game more.

Build Real Athletic Foundations
Kids today don’t get the same outdoor play, climbing, running, or neighborhood sports that used to naturally build coordination and strength. GG FUNdamentals brings that back in a structured, safe way — helping kids develop balance, coordination, speed, and body control that they rarely get from team practices alone.

Master the Essential Basketball Basics
We focus on dribbling, footwork, stopping, cutting, and ball control through fun, age-appropriate challenges that build real confidence. We also introduce simple base shooting technique so kids learn proper form early and have a solid foundation to grow from as they get older.
