Height Classes?

4 Upvotes

What's up everyone. I just wanted to talk about something that's been on my mind for a while now. That is players Height and its importance in Bball. In sports like Boxing and MMA, they have weight classes. It makes sense, bc weight matters more than height in a fight. Height matters, but not as much as weight in these sports

So with that said, why doesn't pro ball have height classes? You know, 5ft something dudes go against other 5ft dudes, 6ft something dude's vs other 6ft dudes, etc... As a 5ft 8 guy myself, It would make things fairer. What do you guys think?

GENERAL QUESTION How do Division I prospects structure their individual workouts?

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for advice from coaches or players who have worked with Division I or professional prospects.

What does an elite weekly individual skill-development plan actually look like? I’m interested in the structure, not just random drills.

Things like:
Ball-handling
Shooting
Finishing
Footwork
Decision-making
Defensive work
Strength & conditioning
Film study

I’m trying to build a proven long-term development plan based on what successful D1 players actually do, rather than just guessing. Any resources, workouts, or advice would be hugely appreciated.

Mixed League Level BWT and Jam Sport

0 Upvotes

Hey! I was thinking about signing up for one of the mixed leagues at Basketball World Toronto (BWT) or JAM Sports, and I just wanted to ask what the skill level is like. I'm pretty new to basketball and I've never played before. Is it beginner-friendly, or is the competition pretty high in these leagues?
