About

“AAU basketball, horrible, terrible AAU basketball. It’s stupid. It doesn’t teach our kids how to play the game at all so you wind up having players that are big and they bring it up and they do all this fancy crap and they don’t know how to post. They don’t know the fundamentals of the game. It’s stupid.”  

“Teach players the game at an early age and stop treating them like cash cows for everyone to profit off of.”

“That’s how you do that. You have to teach them the game. Give them instruction.”  ~Kobe Bryant

​

Mana was established with the instruction in mind.  Kids need to know why and how to play the game.  When we understand how to play the game, we love and respect the game even more.
