About the Program
Tarkanian Basketball Academy is a nonprofit gym on S Rancho Drive in Las Vegas, and its Youth Basketball Academy takes players from age 5 and up. UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian and his son Danny started it in the early 2000s, and the building has 4 high school regulation-sized courts.
The kids academy works on fundamentals, confidence and a competitive edge. To sign up, call Coach Dinard at (702)370-7145. Leagues run separately, and each league has its own director who handles registration, so check the Leagues tab for the right contact.
Courts can also be rented for team practice, private training or a birthday party. Bookings open 90 days out, refunds need 7 days notice, and you can reschedule up to 72 hours before. The gym is open 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM on weekdays and from 8:00 AM on weekends, though events can shift that. Parking is free except during select tournaments, when it costs $10, and a concession stand sells nachos and hot dogs at major events.

First Visit Guide
What most youth sports programs expect. Confirm the details with Tarkanian Basketball Academy before you go.
What to bring
- Water, and then more water. In this valley the heat decides practice more than the coach does from May through September.
- Athletic clothes, sunscreen, and a hat for outdoor fields
- Sport basics if you own them. Lots of intro programs lend gear for trials, so ask before buying.
Before you go
- Confirm the exact field or court. The big parks have a dozen and the 215 traffic doesn't forgive a wrong guess.
- Summer schedules shift to early evening for the heat. Check the seasonal calendar.
- Day one usually has paperwork and team assignment, so come early.
The first visit
Expect drills and small-sided play. Leagues group by birth year. Before you commit, ask how many practices there are per game and where the games actually get played, because home field can mean Henderson one week and North Las Vegas the next.
For sensory-sensitive kids
Whistles and sideline noise are the hard part. Ask about clinic-style sessions that are skills only, with no game crowd, as a first step.
