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.

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).
