Ball handling
Ball handling is crucial for all levels of play. It has become even more important for every position on the court. We start with the building blocks that are crucial for every ball handler. We quickly add more advanced ball handling drills to build upon the fundamentals. Once familiar with the basics, each drill has the ability to get more and more complexity. This will give the skills needed in high pressure situations.
Shooting
Becoming a great shooter takes a lot of time and patience. But it also can be taught quicker and with better results if you follow the correct technique from the start. We have taken the time to train with some of the best shooting development coaches across the nation to know how to teach kids the proper technique to get a consistent and accurate shot. We have some amazing drills that can teach you how to get a consistent shot. Getting a consistent repeatable shot is key and we can help to achieve this result.
Passing
Get comfortable with passing and receiving passes. Knowing the proper way to pass the ball correctly and making the correct choice in different scenarios. It is important to know what options you have when passing the ball. Knowing these and being able to make quick decisions at game speed is important. Many times we see players feel comfortable with basketball skills, but put into game speed and game intensity we see the fundamentals fall apart. We strive to give the skills needed to know what to do and how to handle these high pressure situations.
