How to choose basketball training classes for kids

Yesterday I took my son to Huiju for a walk, and as soon as I entered the mall, I saw a basketball training base next to the escalator. I had planned to enroll my child in basketball classes when he was a little older, so I immediately walked up and looked at their promotional board.
The staff will come over immediately and ask if I want to know more. I smiled and said, 'Just looking, the child is only one year old.'. The staff said that it's still early, at least 3 and a half years old to start work.
After putting my son to sleep at night, I used my phone to search for all the keywords I could think of, combined them with the photos I took, and didn't miss any details in the photos. Finally, I found the correct name for this organization.
I looked at the reviews first, but they didn't have much reference value. Without exception, everyone said they were good. There are many reviews that come from different sources, whether they are for consumption or not. You must understand the tricks behind it.

I looked at the courses again. Divided into experiential classes, fun classes, children's basic classes, advanced classes, master classes, winter/summer classes, and even American basketball study tours. This institution has 7 stores in Wuhan, and I have looked at the environmental photos of several branches in Hankou, all of which are pretty good.

I had planned to do it in my heart, but when it comes to my own actions, I tend to be a bit hasty. When it comes to matters involving children, I must be attentive. I searched almost all institutions on Dianping that meet the following criteria:

1. There is a certain amount of evaluation

Regardless of whether it includes brushing orders or not, there will definitely be genuine evaluations, so if the quantity is too small, only one or two will be considered, which proves that there are also few buyers of courses.

2. Accurate institutional business

If it also includes badminton, Basketball, table tennis, etc., it is not considered. I personally think that being too complicated must be due to a lack of hardware and teaching staff. For example, I don't think it's appropriate to teach children as long as they graduate from a sports school, regardless of whether they major in basketball or not. There is a specialization in one's profession. So only choose institutions that specialize in basketball.

3. The merchant has made a certain amount of content updates to the page

Mainly look at environmental photos, teaching photos, and training videos. For those who only have promotional videos, pass; for those who only have a few blurry photos with incomplete content, pass; for those who only have photos without videos, pass.
I participated in the school basketball team in junior high school (playing soy sauce, never attending formal games), and was also a fan of the NBA for a while, so I can probably see the basic skills of the children being filmed from the teaching videos of these institutions, and judge the coach's level and sense of responsibility. If we only look at the photos, there are too many gimmicks, all of which are big group photos and happy scenes, I still value the learning effect more than these.
I compared many options before and after, and finally settled on two (but there are still three years left, and I plan to let my child go at the age of four. There will definitely be more and better choices for basketball training classes in Wuhan). The person I found later thought it was better than this one, but it was farther away from home than the first one. Fortunately, it wasn't my choice now.

Finally, let's analyze the courses of these two institutions. Not only the curriculum and name are the same, but also the text description is the same. You copy me and I copy you, which is a bit careless.

Outdoor Basketball Hoop

First, let's talk about the price:

Experience class costs 68 yuan (two classes, 1 hour per class);
Fun class 500 yuan
Children's Basic Class 6680 yuan/7770 yuan (from two institutions)
Advanced Class 8880 yuan
Master Class 8880 yuan
Winter/summer classes cost 1580 yuan
American Basketball study tour (price and study tour content not specified, please consult)
The prices are listed based on memory after searching last night, and there may be slight discrepancies. If the class hours are not specified, they are not indicated on the merchant page. I also find it strange why such important information is not written.
I originally thought that such a course should cost around three to four thousand yuan, but it was still too naive. When it comes to children's surroundings, there are no cheap options.
Let's mainly talk about this master class, which claims to hire famous NBA stars to guide it every year. It is indeed present in both the photos and videos. After carefully reviewing them a few times, the conclusion is: there is no need.
All the players invited are retired NBA stars who have been there for many years, in other words, they come here to make money by digging holes. Because I actually saw a certain football star come to Wuhan once, going to both A and B institutions (the two that I finally locked in).
In the video, the star player throws a few baskets, carries the ball, performs a few small tricks, and demonstrates them to individual children. The camera next to them records everything in all directions. It's not an exaggeration to say it's just for making promotional videos.
There are a large number of coaches from various institutions on site guiding the young players. So it's still up to the institutions to teach themselves. I estimate that the star player only needs to show up for about half an hour or an hour to complete the task.
So how many classes is this 8880 yuan for?
How many classes will football stars participate in?
There are dozens of children seen in the video alone, far exceeding the number of children in the small class. The quality of teaching cannot be guaranteed, and the master will definitely not provide individual guidance. I think this form would be more appropriate to call it a fan meeting.
Returning to the previous section, my criteria for selecting institutions are: watching the basic skills of children (dribbling, dribbling, shooting, physical fitness training) from videos. The more videos there are, the more it proves that they are indeed teaching these contents; The more patterns there are, the more it proves the comprehensiveness and meticulousness of teaching, which is suitable for laying a foundation.

I believe many parents, like me, teach their children basketball not to pursue a career path in the future. But learning is like learning, how do you feel the spirit of sports and the charm of competition? Choosing teachers (institutions) is very important. Please share my shallow thoughts for your reference.
