TDJ Basketball Academy Opens Registration for U12 and U14 Elite Training Programs

Singapore – TDJ Basketball Academy, the nation's only basketball program built on NBA and NCAA Division 1 expertise, has officially opened registration for its U12 and U14 training season. With a proven track record and selective intake, the academy continues to redefine youth basketball development in Singapore.

Raising the Standard of Youth Basketball

TDJ’s programs are not built around casual coaching or mass participation. They are designed for long-term player development, guided by a curriculum that reflects international best practices. Every session is run by coaches with verified experience at the professional and collegiate levels.

“Every athlete deserves the same attention, there should be no exceptions.” says Coach Race, Founder of TDJ Basketball Academy. “We build athletes who understand the game, commit to the work, and have pathways to progress beyond local leagues.”

”You can’t teach talent, but you can teach them how to work hard.”

Each age group is capped at 15 athletes to ensure individual attention, data-driven feedback, and a structured developmental journey. This allows coaches to work closely with each player on skill execution, mental resilience, and tactical IQ.

TDJ’s First U12 Season 2025

What’s New This Season ?

The 2025 training calendar introduces several structural and curriculum upgrades:

  • Expanded Age Groups: Training blocks now cover U10 to U18, allowing for seamless progression through foundational, advanced, and competitive tiers.

  • Refined Curriculum: Weekly themes include finishing, shooting, defensive positioning, off-ball movement, and game simulations, modeled after the academy’s Athlete Development Model (ADM).

  • Indoor Transition Plans: TDJ is currently preparing for a full shift to indoor facilities by late 2025 - early 2026.

Training Details

Training sessions are conducted at south-east venues, with sessions being held on weekends and weekdays. Each session runs between 90 to 120 minutes, combining skill stations, competitive drills, scrimmage time, and structured debriefs.

Admission requires a trial evaluation to ensure group fit. Both committed beginners and advanced athletes are welcome, though placement is determined by mindset, attitude, and readiness.

The full-season plan (five months) is priced at *SGD 127 per week and includes access to unlimited training sessions, training kits, performance analysis, and ongoing parent communication via WhatsApp.

*Prices are subject to change will increase up to 40% once we fill our first 50 athletes.

A Development Model Backed by Results

*100% of our 11 year olds made their U12 School Team.

TDJ’s structured approach focuses on more than just drills. It integrates tactical understanding, physical training, and psychological preparation.

“Most youth programs chase short-term wins,” says Head Coach Trevor Diggs, who brings NCAA and NBA-level insights to the TDJ system. “We teach players how to build habits that scale.”

The academy’s success stories include athletes progressing to U.S. high schools, NCAA recruitment pipelines, and competitive tournament rosters across Southeast Asia. The academy also maintains active relationships with international coaches and scouts, providing families with opportunities for overseas exposure.

Feedback from Families

TDJ’s attention to detail and high-level programs has earned consistent praise from parents and players.

“My daughter grew more in three months with TDJ than in a full year elsewhere,” shared one parent of a U14 athlete. “They don’t just teach skills. They build confidence, structure, and game understanding.”

Another parent commented, “The difference in coaching quality is obvious. There’s clarity, purpose, and genuine care for every player’s development.”

Registration Process

Interested families can contact TDJ via WhatsApp to inquire about availability, trial sessions, and registration. With a strict cap of 12 players per age group, the academy operates on a first-confirmed basis. Once full, waitlists are established for the next intake cycle.
