Acie Earl Hosted Basketball Events

JR NBA Developmental League

Jr NBA is excited to come to Eastern Iowa in a developmental league setting for the 1st time ever. Kids will be split into 1 of 3 age groups with both genders. It will follow the global overseas basketball model that is dominating the NBA and the WNBA. Both leagues are now led by overseas players because they practice and play in a controlled setting. Coach Acie Earl played 8 years in 12 countries after his 4 year NBA career winning 3 MVP's in China, Turkey, and Kosovo also winning 3 championships. Our model will include 15 min of skills, 15 min of team practice and short controlled games of 20 minutes. Each player will get a JR NBA jersey and shorts. Teams and format will be different each week to highlight team play such as pick and roll, pick and pop, screen and re-screen, 5 passes, slip the screen and screen the screener.
