Hi,
Ubuntu Basketball sees a pattern every season:
- Players feel stuck running the same drills with no clear idea why.
- Coaches want to coach “modern basketball” but live off random clips from social media even academy trainers repeat the same drills again and again so often it becomes memorizing moves not game-like elements!
- Parents want to help their kids but do not know what actually matters.
The ones who break out of this loop are usually not more “talented.”
They simply plug into better information every week and stay with it.
That is exactly why Ubuntu Basketball built its Chalkboard memberships on Forento.
Membership levels.
One goal: give serious players, coaches, and parents a real basketball education they can apply within 3–4 weeks.

What Chalkboard actually is
————————
Chalkboard is Ubuntu Basketball’s over the top e-learning platform.
It is where Coach Ermay put the methodology up behind:
- ProLab in Amsterdam
- Zero Seconds Film Lab
- Advantage Chains (ACI)
- Constraint-Led Approach (CLA) and Differential Learning (DL)
- Practice design, shooting development, and mental side insights
Over time, this has grown into a full library of:
- Courses
- Downloadable PDFs and guides
- Video lessons and breakdowns
The memberships exist so that players, coaches, and parents can access all of this in a structured, affordable way instead of trying to buy one thing at a time.
————————
Two example membership paths, same library of depth
————————
On Forento, Ubuntu Basketball currently runs two tiers:
- Ubuntu Membership
- For players, coaches, and parents who want full access to the Chalkboard content library and to follow new drops as they come.
- Designed for people who are ready to study, take notes, and apply ideas directly to their own context.
- ubuntu+ Membership
- For those who want a closer, more intensive experience with Ubuntu’s world.
- Built for serious players and coaches who intend to live inside this material all season and want to stay in front of new frameworks and resources as they are added.
Both tiers are built around the same promise:
If you consistently study and apply what you learn from Chalkboard for 3–4 weeks, you should feel a clear shift in how you see the game and how you structure training.

Coach Maya – from “overwhelmed” to “one clear focus per week”
————————
Coach Maya works with a U14 girls team.
Before joining Chalkboard, she described her situation like this:
“I scroll, save drills, and walk into practice with 10 ideas and no plan.”
When she joined the Ubuntu membership, she did not try to consume everything at once.
Instead, she:
- Picked one course on Constraint-Led Approach.
- Watched a short module before each practice.
- Chose ONE idea to test that day (for example, “one constraint for every small-sided game”).
For 3–4 weeks she held one rule:
“Every practice gets one main objective and one main constraint.”
What changed:
- Her players started talking more and thinking during games, not just during whiteboard moments.
- Parents began to say, “They look more like a team now.”
- Maya herself stopped feeling guilty about not “doing enough” every session, because the work had a clear spine.
She did not suddenly become a new person.
She started working from a tested framework instead of chasing random ideas.

Malcolm & Josephine – giving their kids better support without becoming ‘that parent’
————————
Malcolm and Josephine are parents of Veronica and Chris.
They saw their kids love basketball but felt the common tension:
“How do we support them without adding pressure or saying the wrong things?”
They joined Chalkboard because they wanted guidance, not more noise.
In the first month they focused on:
- A short module about age-appropriate expectations.
- A piece on how to talk about games (questions to ask, questions to avoid).
- One PDF on long-term player development and patience.
They made three small changes at home:
- After games they asked, “What felt hard today?” instead of “How many points did you score?”
- They set simple routines before games around sleep and screens.
- Once a week they watched a short lesson together with their kids and let the kids explain what it meant in their own words.
Within a few weeks, Veronica and Chris reported feeling:
- Less stressed about bad games.
- Clearer about what to work on between practices.
- More supported, not judged.
Malcolm and Josephine did not need a coaching licence.
They needed the right language and structure, which Chalkboard gave them.

Why these memberships matter for your next step
————————
Ubuntu Basketball works with pros, youth players, coaches, and families across different levels.
One thing is consistent:
The players who move fastest are not always the most talented.
They are the ones whose environment upgrades first.
Chalkboard memberships are that upgrade.
They help you:
- Stop guessing what “modern development” means.
- Understand why ProLab, Zero Seconds, ACI, and CLA/DL work the way they do.
- Turn ideas into habits you can see on film within 3–4 weeks.
For some players and coaches, investing in this kind of education is exactly what leads to:
- Better decision-making.
- More trust from coaches.
- And in some cases, the next pro contract as soon as this coming summer.

If you are considering it
————————
If you have read this far, ask yourself:
- Do I want a place where basketball development is organized for me?
- Am I ready to study a little each week and apply one clear idea at a time?
If the answer is yes, then one of the Chalkboard memberships is likely a fit.

Ubuntu Basketball built these memberships so that serious players, coaches, and parents do not have to walk this path alone or guess their way through another season.
