James Naismith invented the game of Basketball December 1891. The game was first played in Massachusetts, USA, and only had 13 rules. Now there are more than 300 million people playing the game throughout the world. Basketball has grown to become one of the world’s most popular sports.

The United States teams have dominated the game since its creation. Although there is Basketball talent worldwide, no one has yet adopted the American Style & standards to improve their game. In recent years, American coaches have recruited international talent. They recruited international and talented young players back to the US to learn the American Spirit, Style, and Techniques. Many of them have become star players in the National Basketball Association (NBA), the world’s premier professional league. Surprisingly, American coaches discovered the talent in China in the 1990s and now believe that their presence and success will increase in the NBA.

These are quotes from American coaches that were published in TIME Asia:

The only problem is that only a few talented players can come to America and experience and learn from the ‘American Style Basketball’. That is why SDU is going to bring those proven coaching techniques and experience to China. SDU hopes to begin teaching the Chinese enthusiasts at a young age and will discover talent in the early stages. The most promising young players will have a chance to attend Basketball camps in the USA.

It is well known that the USA team has dominated in Basketball in the Olympics since 1936 in Berlin, Germany. The other countries had players with similar talent, height and speed, but none could really compete when the US has fielded teams with top players. The other countries lacked the understanding of the game and the coaching to be able to develop the proper techniques and the skills for each player. Using the same coaching methods used in the USA, our company is going to blend the US experience with the talented youth in China. We are bringing American Basketball and professionalism to China.

Every country invents one thing or another that spreads worldwide. The Chinese invented so many things that are still in use today. They have invented papermaking, printing, gunpowder, brandy, Whisky and even Chess. Creators make the best teachers and American style basketball is still the best in the world. SDU is now bringing this coaching to China.
