Our skill academy has been created to work with our organization’s talent, along with those not affiliated with us, for the purpose of preparing them at an elite level on their skills. Our ultimate goal is to have the player equipped mentally, physically and emotionally for competition. Our fundamental targetin working with the student athletes is Read and React. We feel that this is an extremely important component which separates the elite players from the rest. There will be a quarterly commitment for training. Sessions are 1 per week. If there is a desire for an additional session per week, it can be discussed. It will be reviewed, which it will be approved or denied.
Our general focus is:
- Ball Handling
- Shooting
- The mental aspect of the game as a guard
- IQ of the Game as a guard
- Read and React.
Our format:
Our general training format is in groups of 8. Through our studies, we have found that this is an ideal setting for what it is we are trying to accomplish. As a guard focused academy our drills and skills training will consist of heavyball control focus, vision, reading the defense, creating space and other guard focused aspects of the game. All drills will be performed with these elements in mind. There will be limited spots for the training sessions. Each session runs quarterly. There will be a plan, objective and concentrated focusarea for each session.
One on One Training:
One on One training will be offered on a limited basis. Here we will create quarterly targeted focus plans for growth. Each month will be a different focused area.
