Small Group Training Sessions

Training Sessions

5:30-6:30 will be for Beginners. This hour is for players with little or no experience. Skill focus will be on fundamental footwork (jump-stops, pivots), passing, beginning ball-handling skills, how to shoot layups, and shooting form.  

6:30-7:30 will be for Intermediate players. Players in our intermediate group should be able to jump-stop and pivot without travelling, should be able to make good chest and bounce passes, should know how to shoot a layup off the dribble, and should have  basic understanding of shooting form. Skill focus will be on finishing at the rim (contested and full-speed layups), shooting form and footwork (off the catch and off the dribble), and introducing advanced ball-handling moves.  

7:30-8:30 will be for Advanced players only. Players must show the ability to consistently make full-speed layups and have a good understanding of how to shoot off the catch and dribble without traveling. Players must be familiar with advanced ball-handling  moves and able to dribble between the legs, behind the back, etc. with relative ease. Players in our advanced group should be competing on an "A-team" level at their middle school or high school.
