for those who dare to excel
A SMALL TEAM, NBA STANDARDS, SINGAPORE ROOTS
why we exist
Higher standards. More attention. Better results.
The problem we hear from parents:
Inattentive coaching — athletes get lost in crowded sessions.
No visible progress — months go by without clear improvement.
Generic training — same drills for every kid, regardless of level.
Our fix (how TDJ is built):
Small by design: Groups capped at 15 so every rep gets coached.
Measured development:
U.S.–style curriculum with clear placement and progression rubrics.Quarterly reviews:
Every player is reviewed each quarter; we cross-check attendance history with progress so parents see the full picture.Rigorous coach hiring & training:
3-stage vetting (references + CV screen → on-court practical → curriculum/parent-comms role-play). 90-day probation with shadowing and film-review audits. Interns/new hires do not coach competitive groups until they pass audits and live evaluations.Pathways, not promises:
Guided placements for school teams, DSA, and overseas exposure when earned.
The TDJ standard:
Every session led by a senior coach. No missed reps.
Max 15 per group: Role-specific reps and targeted corrections.
Planned & reviewed:
Session plans published to staff; post-session notes feed back into the curriculum; parents get block updates.Hiring standard:
Only coaches who clear our 3-stage vetting and 90-day probation lead sessions. Interns/new hires never coach competitive groups until cleared via audits and live evaluations.
Proof that it works:
Coach pedigree, real waitlist, and consistent parent reviews.
This season, all our 11-year-olds made their U12 school team.
Families stay because they see improvement. Not just sweat.
Our promise:
Quality and attention. We don’t leave any kid behind, regardless of starting level.
Every athlete gets a plan and is reviewed
to ensure improvement.
