building skills & IQ on the Court

Proper shooting mechanics are essential to any player's long term success on the court.  Players of all levels are taught proper shooting motion from the ground up.  For those truly committed to the craft, we offer an 8 week shotting mechanics course designed to perfect the jumper.    

Ball handling at the pace of a competitive game is not easy to develop.  We dedicate at least an hour a week to developing balanced ball handling against pressure.  We  give each player pointers on how to increase speed, control and mastery of the ball.  

Practices feature drills that focus on developing mastery of layups, jump shots, put backs, one-dribble pull ups, floaters, Euros, crow hops and other pro-level finishes.  We work on scoring at all three levels (at the rim, mid range and distance).   

Defense wins minutes! We teach footwork, conditioning, hand placement, rebounding and team defensive strategies necessary to eventually earn a spot on your varsity squad, and the minutes necessary to play in college.  

According to USA Basketball, screening and ball exchanges are just as important as scoring and defense.  We build our practices around teaching quality screens and accurate passing. Both are essential to a player's understanding of the game, and the overall team's success. 

Ultimately, our goal is to build a skilled and confident player that has the IQ necessary to compete at the highest levels.  Our coaches use drills and game sets to help increase a player's IQ on the floor.  We teach zone offense and defense, press and press break, and various offensive sets.
