“Every
kid wants a chance to play High School BB and every High School player
wants a chance to play College BB. Most development today focuses on
‘team ball’, with lots of time spent on conditioning, putting in plays
and games to be played.
The
‘missing link’ for most kids is Individual Skill Development of the
Fundamentals – perfect practice makes perfect play. This is where
TIBBS shines. They are totally focused on taking a player from their
current skill level to the next level and beyond.
TIBBS
does this in a totally positive way, in a controlled environment that
expects hard work as your child learns and develops their individual
skills. The individual and small group sessions give the instructors
and players significant opportunities for coaching and skill
repetitions.
Combine
all of this with a Totally Positive and Controlled Coaching Environment
and it’s easy to see why players make steady and marked improvements in
their game. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TIBBS for those who want to give their
children the very best opportunity to succeed!

“My
son is 13 years old, and has been playing Y-Youth basketball since he
was 6 years old. At an early age, it was evident that he had some
above average skills and he really embraced basketball as his
favorite sport, and slowly fell away from soccer, baseball, etc. We
have always had him in all of the local camps and clinics, but
thought that we would give him a chance to really develop his skills
at TIBBS.
We enrolled him in 8 sessions at TIBBS before the start of
this years ABL season and we saw an immediate improvement in all
basic skills, but his floor awareness, ball handling and shooting
ability really improved and in-turn, so did his confidence level. He
tried out and made first team at his Junior High School and had a
very successful season. Because of his increased level of play, he
has been asked to join a few traveling teams. We are VERY pleased
with the coaching and tutelage that Nate, Matt, and the entire staff
provided at TIBBS and highly recommend the Tibbetts Instructional
Basketball School to anyone that has a child interested in improving
his or her game.”
Thanks
Tons!!!

"I
would recommend TIBBS for any of my players. The staff,
instruction, and facilities are top-notch. We have had several
players work-out at TIBBS and they have enjoyed the experience.
The instructors have a great knowledge of the game and are
enthusiastic about what they do. They care about getting kids
better on and off the court."

“Four
years ago, my oldest son started working out with Matt & Nate in
the basement of a house. At that time, my son had little interest in
sports, especially basketball, and had no desire to practice.
After his first workout, he gained a confidence that I had never seen
before; he couldn’t wait to go back. After a few more workouts, he
gained a desire to practice and to improve as a basketball player.
Now, he never misses a day to practice basketball, even during
football and baseball season! Matt and Nate found a way to
motivate him and instill a confidence in him that transferred into
an incredible work ethic and desire to be the best in everything that
he does. Even 4 years later, he can't wait to go 'get a
workout.'
This
wasn’t a one time thing! Now my younger son, a fourth grader, is
going through the program. Even though he is different from his
brother, he is starting to gain the same confidence and desires that
his older brother has. He, too, looks forward to the
individualized attention that is focused on his particular strengths
and weaknesses! This is nothing like he ever received from a
traditional 'basketball camp.'
I
have recommended Tibbs basketball to all of my friends. I have
referred over 30 kids to the program and continue to do it on a daily
basis because what it has done for my kids. It is the best investment
we have ever made to further our children’s basketball skills.”

"My
son has worked with Nate, Matt and the other coaches at TIBBS for a
little more than one year. They have done a great job in
teaching the fundamentals of the game - in a clear and detailed
manner, with high expectations of the player. Over that time,
he has not only grown in his basketball skills and his love for the
game, he has also had a lot of fun. Lee enjoys a lot of sports
and other activities, and with that has a full schedule (like most
kids) - but he really looks forward to going to TIBBS each week. I
can see from his enthusiasm - before and after the practice - that
Tibbs is doing a great job. I appreciate the fact that Nate and
Matt have worked to know him personally and understand his strengths,
weaknesses and personality - it is clear they care about the his
individual development and enjoyment. Between the combination
of the development and learning...along with the positive and fun
environment Nate and Matt have created...I am sure he will continue
with TIBBS for a long time. We would (and have) highly recommend
TIBBS to anyone looking to provide their child a positive,
challenging and fun setting to learn the game of basketball...with
personal attention from some great coaches."

"My son always had the potential of being a good
basketball player. The ability and drive to play the game were
there. He just lacked the discipline to work on the
fundamentals, and the self-confidence to believe in his
talents. Unfortunately, most camps now-a-days focus more on team
scrimmages then teaching kids the fundamentals of the game ... the
no-look pass rather than a bounce pass ... NBA range with a complete
disregard to proper form and shooting technique.
Thankfully, we were fortunate enough to meet
Matt Wilber and Nate Tibbetts. They are true professionals in
educating today's youth in the game of basketball! By
partaking in their individual workouts, my son was the beneficiary of
years of basketball knowledge and experience; submersed in an
environment conducive to learning the core fundamentals of the game;
and consistently praised for his efforts during his
instruction. They turned a good basketball player into a great
basketball player! But more importantly, they have an approach to
teaching the game of basketball that incorporates life skills, making
my son a great kid on and off the court!
We now live in Colorado. But rest assured, we will
return to Sioux Falls, South Dakota every summer to take advantage of a
wonderful opportunity not found anywhere else ... Matt WIlber,
Nate Tibbetts and the Tibbetts Instructional Basketball School!"
