Team Training Program
TEAM TRAINING Impact Basketball is very proud of our extensive productive tradition of training teams from around the world as they prepare for upcoming events, seasons, or tournament competition. It is with great honor that we help your team to be at its very best through our comprehensive training and team-building program. The Impact Basketball Team Training Program will give your players a chance to train together in a focused environment with demanding on-court offensive and defensive skill training along with intense off-court strength and conditioning training. The experienced Impact Basketball staff will provide the team with a truly unique bonding experience through training and competition, as well as off-court team building activities. Designated team practice times and live games against high-level American players, including NBA players, provide teams with an opportunity to prepare for their upcoming competition while also developing individually. Each team’s program will be completely customized to fit their schedule, with direct consultation from the team’s coaching staff and management. We will integrate any and all concepts that the coaching staff would like to implement and focus the training on areas that the team’s coaches have deemed deficient. Our incorporation of off-site training and team-building exercises make this a one-of-a-kind opportunity for team and individual development. We have the ability to provide training options for the entire team or for a smaller group of the team’s players. The Impact staff can help set up all the housing, food, and transportation needs for the team. -

NBA Disney Bubble
A whole new world The NBA relaunches its 2019-2020 season today with 22 teams based inside a secure “bubble” at Disney World in Florida due to complete the remainder of the campaign. KEYS TO THE PLAY-OFF KINGDOM Each of the 22 teams will play eight games. This will be added to their regular season results to decide which 16 teams enter the playoffs, which are scheduled to begin on Aug 16. If the eighth and ninth seed are separated by less than four games, there will be a play-in tournament to decide who advances to the playoffs. In this best-of-two series, the No. 9 seed must win both games while the No. 8 seed only needs to win the rst. The NBA bubble costs about US$1.5 million (S$2.06 million) a day to operate.
