Great read Tiger, thank you! I couldn’t agree with Inigo more, for the development of the game, small courts are very necessary.
All of my peers and I that graduated from the North Miami Amatuer school had good rebotes because of the length of the court that we learned on…
Back in the 80s and 90s, the north Miami courts were the perfect set up for development.
A 60 foot rubber ball court to start, a 90 foot midrange court to continue and a 150 foot hardball court to learn how to actually play the game.
If we had training facilities like that here in the United States, there would be more American players.
As much as I love the amateur courts in the United States current date, they are more of a boys club for adult amateurs to gather and play the game that they love.
Unfortunately, there is not a grand effort to teach and development youngsters.
