DC Basketball Academies

Washington, DC

Thank you for visiting the official website of Pro Skills Basketball (PSB) Washington, District of Columbia’s professional basketball club.

Our Academies are designed to maximize the improvement of players with a very intentional skill development curriculum that is spread out over the course of multiple weeks or months. Typically, we have two types of Academies: Shooting and Player Development. Our Shooting Academies focus solely on perfecting the art of shooting a basketball. Our Player Development Academies are focused on teaching general fundamentals with the intent of players improving enough to eventually make one of our Club Teams.
