This is more than a workout. It's the starting point of your development.

  • Every new athlete starts here.
  • Coaches assess their current skill level.
  • Identify strengths and weaknesses.
  • Discuss goals.
  • Determine the athlete's developmental needs.
  • Decide whether they're a fit for a T.A.D. Development Membership.

ABOUT

THE ANTS DEVELOPMENT.

The Ants Development was founded in 2025 by lifelong best friends and high school teammates Dillon Richard and Khameron Emanuel. Built from a shared passion for basketball and player development, T.A.D. was created to help give athletes that same type of intentional development. We're not here just to run workouts. We're here to invest in athletes and help them become the player and person they're capable of becoming. Throughout our playing careers, we've competed alongside Division I and professional players while learning from respected coaches, trainers, and professionals across Texas. Those experiences shaped our philosophy and inspired us to provide the next generation with the tools and mindset needed to succeed. We use an ecological training approach that challenges athletes to read the game, make decisions, solve problems, and adapt to real-game situations. Our mission goes beyond basketball—we strive to develop disciplined, confident, and high-character athletes who continue to grow on and off the court.

Keeping God first. Developing with purpose. Becoming The Player You Want To Be.

START YOUR DEVELOPMENT

EVERY ATHLETE STARTS WITH AN EVALUATION.

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all training.

Every new athlete begins with a private Player Evaluation designed to identify their strengths, areas for improvement, playing goals, and current developmental needs.

From there, our coaches determine the best T.A.D. training pathway for the athlete.

THE PROCESS

01 —

EVALUATE

Start with a private evaluation and establish your athlete's developmental baseline.

02 —

If selected for our Development Membership, athletes enter a structured training environment built around consistency, accountability, competition, and game-realistic development.

03 —

TRACK

Progress is monitored throughout each development cycle so athletes and parents can see what is improving and what needs to come next.
