U12 / U14
Our U12 & U14 teams –
Youth development at the next level
In close cooperation with the traditional Munich club München Basket, we specifically promote players in the U12 (men) and U14 (men) age groups as part of our in-season program. Our shared goal: to provide young talent with structured training at an early stage and optimally prepare them for the next step in competitive basketball.
The teams train several times a week in Munich under professional conditions – with a clear focus on technique, game understanding, athleticism, and teamwork. The training methodology is based on the principles of the NBA Basketball School, supplemented by modern approaches from sports psychology and sports science.
Why this program is special:
✔ Structured transition from recreational sports to performance-oriented training
✔ Individual support in small training groups
✔ Close integration with our performance offerings & camps
✔ Access to complementary athletic and mental training
✔ Direct connection to our advanced programs (e.g. JBBL)

Our Mission
We support children and young people in their athletic and personal development. We use an interdisciplinary approach, combining insights from fields such as pedagogy, sports psychology, and sports science to provide our players with an environment in which they can develop their full potential both on and off the field.
Top-class trainers for the best possible development
Using state-of-the-art training methods and player-led development, we strive to provide the best possible support for each player's individual development. Our coaches are among the best in Germany and contribute their extensive experience to teach players all the important technical and tactical skills. The individual development of each player is always our top priority, allowing them to reach their full potential on the pitch.
Sports psychological support: mental strength and personality development
Competitive sports at NBA School Germany mean more than just peak basketball performance – it's a valuable platform for personal growth and individual development. Through close collaboration with sports psychologists, we create a supportive environment in which our athletes are valued and encouraged not only in their development as basketball players, but also as people. We specifically apply sports psychology insights to strengthen topics such as motivation, self-confidence, coping with defeat, and team spirit. On the court, we teach important values such as responsibility, fairness, and discipline, which help our players develop not only athletically but also personally.
Sports science support
Our athletic program is based on the latest findings in training and sports science. Our goal is to specifically support players in their athletic development, paying particular attention to healthy physical development. We make every effort to prevent injuries and maintain and promote our players' long-term physical fitness.
