specialized training - GuardPoint and Scoring Guard are collectively referred to as a basketball team’s backcourt and are commonly the players that advance the ball into the side of the court on which their team is attempting to score. The shooting guard is typically responsible for scoring the most points between the two guards, while the point guard is expected to create plays by passing the ball to open players, such as the forwards and center. Usually, these responsibilities vary based upon the type of defense the opposing team uses and, on the strengths, and weaknesses of opposing players. | specialized training - front courtSmall Forward, Power Forward and Center position are collectively designated as a basketball team’s frontcourt. Typically, these players play near the baseline, which is the out-of-bounds line under each basket. On offense, these players constantly move from one side of the key to the other in an attempt to free themselves to take an open shot. When used in relation to these players, the term frontcourt usually refers to their offensive responsibilities, but also carries implications to the players they defend. | Private One-on-OnePrivate Sessions are available outside normal training programs.

FOCUSED TRAINING FEES
Session Description Focused or One-on-One Training is dedicated to 5 or less player session. Focused sessions are for players who seek specialized attention to maximize their basketball development. These sessions are designed to replicate the pressure of game speed situations and assist in the execution of basic and advanced fundamentals under that pressure. We encourage our athletes to get out of their comfort zones and make mistakes as a part of the learning and developmental process. These sessions are the most intense workouts we offer. | Group or team Training
GROUP OR TEAM FEE MORE THAN 5 REGISTERED PLAYERS Groups rarely focus on individual skill development, instead, their primary focus is on the offensive system being ran, but if you can't pass, can't pivot, and can't dribble, it doesn't matter what offense is run as even the best of those systems are ineffective without execution of proper fundamental skills. Our training sessions are geared toward developing individual skills within a team environment using that team's concepts and philosophies. |
