🏀 2026 Winter Development League – Elevate Your Game!

Elite Arkansas Training is proud to present the Winter Development League (D-League) — a unique basketball program designed specifically for 2nd through 6th grade students. This co-ed league blends high-level skill development with competitive gameplay in a fun, structured, and confidence-building environment.

We do more than play—we teach the game the right way. From mastering fundamentals to applying them in real-game scenarios, this league is the perfect opportunity for young athletes to grow on and off the court.

🔑 Skill Development Focus:

• Ball security and protection

• Moving without the basketball

• Communication and teamwork

🏆 Game Format That Reinforces Learning:

Each game is structured to maximize development:

• 1st Quarter: No dribbling past half court – encourages passing and movement.

• 2nd Quarter: Limited dribbles to build smart ball-handling under pressure.

• 3rd & 4th Quarter: Live gameplay that challenges players to use everything they’ve learned.

💡 Why Families Love the D-League:

• Co-ed and inclusive – building community through basketball.

• Emphasis on confidence, leadership, and fundamentals.

• Structured to make learning fun and competitive.

📅 Program Details:

• Training Begins: Monday, Feb 2nd

• Games Begin: Sunday Feb 8th

• Weekly Training Opportunities: Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at 5:00 PM

  • Feb 2nd - Feb 23rd Included
