SKILL TRAINING (available year-round)
A typical session may include:
SHOOTING FORM-a focus on developing proper footwork, staying balanced
and squared up to the basket, and getting a perfect release & follow through
BALL HANDLING-making quicker and stronger moves to create separation
from defenders.  Developing confidence in attacking the basket using the
weak-hand dribble
FINISHING AROUND THE BASKET- using the body to shield off defenders,
absorb contact and still keep focus on the rim, using shot fakes to get
defenders up in the air and out of position.  Many of these drills will include
contact from a football blocking shield to emulate a live defender
CREATING SCORING OPPORTUNITIES – using jab-steps, shot fakes, spin
moves, hop-backs and other offensive moves to create openings to get a shot
off
QUICKNESS & VERTICAL JUMP- Plyometric exercises, drills to create a
quick first step & improve lateral movement, and explosive vertical leap
training

(Other skills available at request: Post Moves, One-on-One Defense, Rebounding,
and more
)

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a good age to start training?
I have trained players as young as a five years old.  Typically the strength and coordination
needed to build good shooting form hasn't developed by that age, however dribbling and
footwork drills can still be very beneficial and give an edge over others their age that haven't
worked on some of the basic fundamentals.  I usually recommend starting in the 3rd/4th grade
range, but it varies from kid to kid.

Can you help elite or older-aged kids or is this program only for players beginning to build skills?
Yes, I definitely can.  I have trained 7 current Division 1 College Basketball player or recruits.  A
lot of the older 11th & 12th graders that I work with are surprised with some of the small
adjustments in footwork or form that make a big difference in their game.  I really enjoy working
with players who are already very good but want to keep adding, fine-tuning, and quickening
skills and moves.

Is it better to do private sessions or group training?
I feel that athletes get more out of a one-on-one training situation.  (More repetitions, more
feedback, more guidance)  I typically suggest doing at least one private lesson before doing a
group session so that I can give the athlete a good idea on the areas that need the most work.  
However, the small group sessions are more cost-friendly and I've found that some athletes are
more comfortable training with a friend or two.
