Player Development
Basketball is a sport that brings people together, creates opportunities, and inspires players around the world. But becoming an exceptional player takes more than just passion—it requires intentional focus, commitment, and relentless hard work. At Taqwa Elite Basketball Organization, we are committed to guiding young athletes toward their highest potential. That’s why we’ve partnered with Alpha Sports and Fitness (ASF), an elite player development program founded by former professional basketball player, Alpha Bangura.
ASF is renowned for its meticulous, detail-oriented approach to player development. Rooted in principles of confidence-building, efficiency, and an unwavering work ethic, ASF’s training programs have helped countless athletes improve in every aspect of their game. Our partnership with ASF allows Taqwa Elite players to train under one of the country’s leading development programs. We’re excited to watch our players grow, refine their skills, and take the next steps toward becoming high-level basketball players.
Despite the time and resources many parents invest in practices, games, and training sessions, young players often struggle to learn the game the right way. It’s common for players to show only minimal improvement, struggle to make team rosters, or lack the skills to contribute meaningfully on the court. A key factor is that many players rely on training from individuals who may lack a strong background in the sport. When athletes are guided by trainers without personal experience in high-level play or coaching, they miss out on essential insights into technique, mindset, and decision-making—gaps that can prevent them from reaching their true potential.
ASF aims to close this gap. With a program structured and led by former athletes who have played at high levels, ASF offers players firsthand knowledge of what it takes to excel. The ASF team teaches the game from the ground up, building a strong foundation of fundamentals and mental toughness that will support long-term improvement. ASF takes a holistic view of player development, accelerating learning while emphasizing the “long game” approach, preparing players to succeed not just in their next season, but throughout their entire basketball journey. Their program equips athletes with the confidence, discipline, and work ethic needed to thrive at any level.
Through Taqwa Elite’s partnership with ASF, our players gain access to one of the nation’s premier training programs. We are proud to provide our athletes with the tools, techniques, and mindset they need to stand out on and off the court. Together with ASF, we look forward to guiding our players as they elevate their game and reach new heights in their basketball journey.
