Every great player starts with a strong foundation. TPF Foundation Academy is a six-week basketball experience designed to help young players build the fundamental skills, confidence and understanding they need to grow in the game.

Each week introduces a core basketball skill, builds it through repetition and then challenges players to put it to work through high-energy games and competition.
