Fundamental Skills

New for Fall Academy
A clearer development plan for every player.

Each week builds on the last so players develop concepts and skills over time instead of attending disconnected workouts.
Individual Development Goals

- Every Saturday is capped at 8 players per division.

Registration Closes October 8th
Selected dates reserve a player's place for those sessions. If a player misses a selected session because of school, sports, illness, family commitments, or another personal conflict, that session is not refunded or credited. If BBD cancels a session and cannot provide a trusted replacement coach, the affected session will be refunded or otherwise resolved directly with the family.
Fall Academy Enrollment
Full enrollment remains the flagship option. The Flex Package and drop-ins are available for athletes whose in-season schedules make an 11-week commitment difficult.
Submit the registration form first. Your selected Stripe payment option will appear automatically.
Payment safety: Submit your Stripe payment only once. If Stripe shows success, sends a receipt, or your card is charged, do not retry the payment even if a page appears to error. Contact BBD if you are unsure.
A selected spot is secured only after registration information, required acknowledgements, and the selected first payment are completed.
