The National Basketball Academy understands how important it is to young basketball players to get proper coaching in order to accomplish their basketball goals. With that in mind the Academy has partnered with a new app, Famer, to allow our coaches to share custom drills and plays with athletes as a digital extension of how TNBA trains in-person.

Please review the below plans and select the Famer TNBA training curriculum that best suits your needs. Once you select the training curriculum, download the Famer app and register to start training. Login directions can be found under the "HOW TO GET STARTED" section of this email.
