BSE Global, the parent company of the Brooklyn Nets and New York Liberty, will open a multi-court youth basketball training facility opposite Barclays Center on Flatbush Avenue this fall.
The 18,600-sq-ft Brooklyn Basketball Training Center will be operated by BSE Global’s flagship youth basketball program, Brooklyn Basketball, which has partnered with the New York City Department of Education to offer free basketball clinics for elementary and middle school students in Brooklyn.
The new facility will offer after-school and weekend training, camps, daily clinics, advanced training, all-girls programs and more. There will also be an area for parents to convene and for students to have a safe space for homework or other needs before and after training.
“This initiative is about more than just basketball—it’s about creating a safe, inclusive space where young people can learn, grow and connect – and by continuing to invest in our community programming, we’re building a stronger foundation for the future of the game and the neighborhoods we call home," said Marissa Shorenstein, chief external affairs officer of BSE Global in a statement.
The center will include two full courts, a “shooting lab” half court, auxiliary baskets, multi-purpose court flooring for other events, as well as cutting-edge technology and expert coaching to further enhance skill development.
The after school program will launch in the upcoming school year and will feature age and skill-appropriate programs for ages 6-14 on weekdays, with Wednesdays devoted to all-girls training.
