This fall, BSE Global, parent company of the Brooklyn Nets and New York Liberty, will open the Brooklyn Basketball Training Center, a new youth training facility located directly across from Barclays Center on Flatbush Avenue.
Spanning 18,600 square feet, the center will be operated by Brooklyn Basketball, BSE Global’s youth development program focused on building skills, leadership, and community through basketball. The initiative, already active in more than 200 city schools, offers in-school clinics and community programming that reaches about 40,000 youth annually.
The new facility will feature two full courts, a shooting lab, auxiliary baskets, and multipurpose flooring, along with advanced coaching and technology to support skill development. A dedicated area will provide students with space to complete homework, while parents will have a comfortable spot to gather during sessions.
Programming will include weekday training for youth ages 6 to 14, with Wednesdays dedicated to all-girls training. After-school sessions, weekend clinics, and seasonal camps will also be offered, expanding Brooklyn Basketball’s reach to young athletes across the borough.
“We are excited to further enhance the area surrounding Barclays Center with our Brooklyn Basketball Training Center available to all, right in the heart of Brooklyn, as we continue to help grow the sport across the borough,” said Marissa Shorenstein, Chief External Affairs Officer, BSE Global. “This initiative is about more than just basketball—it’s about creating a safe, inclusive space where young people can learn, grow and connect – and by continuing to invest in our community programming, we’re building a stronger foundation for the future of the game and the neighborhoods we call home. Opening this facility reflects BSE Global’s ongoing commitment to uplifting our community—not just through sports, but by fostering opportunity, empowerment, and a lasting sense of belonging for Brooklyn’s next generation.”
“I have personally witnessed the way the game of basketball enriches the lives of young people all over the world, and the opportunity to open a state-of-the-art Brooklyn Basketball training center, right across the street from Barclays Center, is an exciting one for our community,” said Jordi Fernández, Head Coach of the Brooklyn Nets. “This facility will provide an incredible place for the youth of our borough to come together to not only receive exceptional on-court instruction, but to also learn the important values and life lessons this great game teaches.”
“The Brooklyn Basketball Training Center is a game-changer, not just for basketball, but for the entire Brooklyn community,” said Sandy Brondello, Head Coach of the New York Liberty. “It’s about giving the next generation a space to learn the fundamentals, be inspired, and create the sense of community that basketball so brilliantly provides. We aim to build the future of the game and empower our community, especially young girls to dream big. Who knows? Some of them might be playing across the street at Barclays Center for the New York Liberty one day.”
In advance of the center’s opening, Brooklyn Basketball will host a series of summer camps and clinics across Brooklyn this July and August.
