A Program of The AON Initiative · Clayton County, GA
Five weeks of film-supported skill work at South Clayton Recreation Center — real basketball training for young athletes, and real-world field experience where TAONI Media Assistants may document the action.
Rec League & School Season Preparation
Whether your athlete is signing up for recreation league basketball or preparing to earn a place on a school team, now is the time to sharpen the skills that show up when the game gets faster. TAONI Basketball meets players where they are and helps them take the next step through focused instruction, purposeful repetition, and film-supported feedback.
The Next Level of basketball education and training is more than running drills. Players learn why reads work, how to make decisions under pressure, and how fundamentals connect to real game situations. Our five-week evening sessions build ball-handling, finishing, shooting mechanics, defensive footwork, confidence, and live-play awareness in a positive environment designed for committed growth.

Hands-on media and technology training for Metro Atlanta youth and young adults. Learn photography, video, editing, storytelling, live event coverage, and responsible technology use while documenting Full Court Press, TAONI, and partner events.
