basketball skills development

Our Basketball Skills Development program is designed to help athletes build strong fundamentals, improve game understanding, and grow with confidence—no matter their starting point. Using the same planning, structure, and instructional systems that have guided our youth development work for over 25 years, we provide a training environment where athletes can learn, progress, and thrive.

Our program offers four flexible training tiers - Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Elite - primarily based on how many days per week an athlete trains. Level 1 provides one focused training day per week, Level 2 offers two, Level 3 offers three, and Elite (invite or tryout only) unlocks customized weekly training schedules for athletes seeking the highest level of development and consistency.

Ages

We train athletes from ages 5-19. All athletes train within their appropriate age groups during their selected session times, ensuring they receive age-appropriate instruction, competitive challenges, and progression pathways. From foundational skills to advanced concepts, our program helps players grow through repetition, high-quality coaching, and a supportive training culture designed to elevate their game.

When

Skills training sessions are typically held throughout the week on set days:

Currently Monday, Wednesday, Friday between 5pm - 7pm and Sunday from 8-10am.

Trainings are usually run in one hour increments for most levels.
