COURTSIDE WINTER ACADEMY
Youth Player Development Program
An alternative to Rec and Select winter leagues focused on Individual and Team Development through a series of Skills Clinics, Private Team Training, and Virtual Sessions conducted by certified coaches and athletes with college / pro playing experience.
Covid-19’s Impact < Courtside’s Value
Several cities in Tarrant and Johnson Counties have decided to cancel their winter leagues due to Covid-19. Courtside 360 has two Player Development Programs available so youth in our area don’t miss out on a game they love! Not only are we offering athletes an opportunity to play this winter through Courtside United Basketball Club League Play, but Courtside Winter Academy provides elementary age hoopers access to ‘club level’ programming, exposure to professional training, and a more transformative experience than traditionally found in local Rec leagues.
Courtside believes in setting high standards for all our programs, and our Winter Academy Series is no exception. We strive to raise the bar on what a quality, enjoyable youth sports experience can be for players, coaches, parents and families.

Spirited + Structured + Train & Play
Courtside Winter Academy is a great ‘starter kit’ for beginner athletes who are just being exposed to basketball and need assistance mastering essential foundational skills. The Academy also provides a progressive outlet for those athletes with more experience who need a better understanding of game concepts, and like things a little more on the competitive side. Regardless of your skill level, Winter Academy is a proven resource and path to player development.
The energy and environment of Courtside Winter Academy provides athletes a spirited atmosphere to improve and elevate their game while participating in an engaging, fast-paced, and structured “train & play” environment alongside peers with similar skill sets.
Setting + Instruction
Courtside Winter Academy operates within a purpose-driven teaching setting, strives to create a balanced environment of competitiveness and fun, and is centered around positive-reinforcement instruction which develops self-discipline, builds self-confidence, enhances communication, and instills leadership, responsibility, and accountability.
Areas of Focus
In addition to teaching essentials to basketball, our areas of focus include: Mental Toughness, Coachability, Leadership, and Public Speaking (social engagement with adults, teachers, coaches, media). We’re mindful of the significance of good health and regular fitness at any age and encourage this lifestyle throughout all our programs.
More than Basketball!
Comprehensive Training
Courtside Winter Academy covers beginner to intermediate level basketball terminology, includes introductory and competitive skills training, and is designed to instill a love and passion for the exciting game of basketball in elementary age students.
Athletes will learn the fundamental skills of shooting, dribbling, passing, offensive and defensive concepts, and experience a heightened basketball IQ while also developing their overall athleticism with improved coordination, footwork, speed, movement, and balance.
2020; unlike any other
This year has been unprecedented. Covid-19’s effect on the world – including youth sports – has been unlike anything we’ve seen. For a lot of athletes, the pandemic has meant a loss of momentum, motivation, and fitness stamina they’ve worked so hard to maintain. It has not only restricted athletic development, but also hindered relationships with friends and teammates, and resulted in missed opportunities.
Recharge + Overcome Pandemic Distress
Regardless the influence of Covid-19 on youth athletes, Courtside Winter Academy provides parents, teams, schools, and organizations an outlet for their athletes to fine-tune athletic development, and an opportunity to renew spirit, drive and relationships effected by pandemic distress and fatigue. Our objective is for every athlete to leave Courtside Winter Academy recharged and motivated with their basketball abilities improved upon, and their lives enriched.

“My son has definitely missed his teammates the last few months. Ever since he started training with Courtside, it’s not only helped him improve as a basketball player, but it’s been good for him to socially interact with others. I think what Courtside is doing with this Winter Academy is great for kids. - Crowley Parent”

Who we are
Our passion for the great game of basketball is infectious, but our core values are founded in faith, family, and community.
Culture of Excellence
Our purpose is to create programming and experiences which shape and inspire youth to pursue excellence in their athletics, education, and social and spiritual life. We realize and respect that we learn from our athletes just as they learn from us and believe within each of our programs is an opportunity to build relationships and discover purpose outside athletics.
Relationships + Pride
We value the unique bond found from fostering relationships with our athletes and their families, our partners and affiliates, and consider them to be the essence of a true healthy community with influence to ignite a positive culture shift in youth sports. We take great pride in our athletes and champion their athletic and personal success. Our hope is that CS360 athletes are transformed and equipped with the necessary life-tools to persevere and reach their highest potential on and off the court.
Consistency → Transformation
We believe true transformation happens from the grind, relationship, accountability,
and support received through consistent training.

Through my years of working with Lance and getting to know him both personally and professionally, his dedication to development is second to none. I’ve never met someone with more passion for the sport of basketball, growing the game, and developing young players into successful athletes.
