Ayman Idais Academy

Ayman Idais, a unique name that is known across the country, and also the world.

He was a young boy who used to play basketball but never thought that one day he will be the reason for making generations not only one young kid to love that game and now after almost 20 years of playing ball , achieving history he starts to follow a dream of his own.

The dream calls "Ayman Idais Academy".

A dream that was build from scratch in order to create a lifetime basketball program for all age groups through building a solid foundation for youth and adult to continuously produce high quality players capable of competing and winning. Moreover, through that dream he will be able to support and enhance the game of basketball at the national level.

What was once truly called "Jordanian Basketball"

Ever since i was a little kid i grew up loving basketball so i started to learn how to play it but being good at sport has always been a gift, some people have it and some people don't, so i settled for just watching it. 

So through the last 15 years i enjoyed watching every game where we all saw boys turn into men, players became legends in our own eyes whom wrote their names in history one way or another. 

I enjoyed watching every tournament where those players tasted the feeling of victory, where they wept tears for each loss, but those tournaments had always have special flavor when they were played in our home town, the kind of flavor that you had to come one hour earlier or so to find a seat and even accept watching it while you are standing when you don't in the favor of just watching the game and cheering for your team and player as well. 

But unfortunately as time passes by all those factors and all that sparkles that we used to have is fading away, not looking behind the reasons of that, just hoping that one day young generations will feel the joy we used to have when we step inside that hall or sitting in front that screen to watch what was once truly called (Jordanian Basketball).

Basketball Court

I enter this huge court where the cold stings your hands in winter and the nice breeze refresh you in summer, but unfortunately it was empty.

Seeing it empty made me go back in time, go back with my sweet memories when I used to walk into that enormous room and couldn't find a place to sit. I started to remember the kids' playing and shouting; those little children with their innocent smiles waiting for that great game to start. I began to recall those proud parents and families counting the minutes even the seconds to see their boys writing history and achieving what has been achieved. All those sweet memories and all those cheerful moments were of a great and beautiful game called "basketball" played in this outstanding court.

This basketball court filled our life with challenges, action, joy and excitement. Generations after generations have grown up going to this same court cheering for their favorite teams and their great players; I know I did.. But sadly, no such days exist anymore. An empty court and tepid feelings are all we get now.

I might just be a fan of this great game but I'm a hurting fan who wishes those days come back once again, wishes this court beat with life again, and wishes for new generations that love the game the way we used to.. Hope one day things will work out for a better future, better games and better days where once again Jordanian Basketball will have its prints on the game and will regain its fame.
