Our local impact
& global reach

Our local focused after-school programs for grades K – 8 are designed to nurture the entire student. The staff is there to assist the students in their individual academic assignments as well as group socialization and athletic activities . For all after-school participants that are interested in advanced basketball skills training, we have several package options to suite the developmental goals of the player and or players as a group.

Our local focused advanced high school, prep school, AAU and college level players workouts are tailored to give players a significant advantage over their peers and prospective opponents at the next level.

Our sessions are designed for individual players/teams according to their goals, and our assessments to determine baseline. Our sessions typically run from about 60-180 minutes, depending on the skill level, age, and curriculum required to reach goals. While we accept all registrations, we recommend at least 7 to 10 sessions for us to have an opportunity to adequately impact each players development and to find a path to real results. Every player will be evaluated by at least two of our coaches and every player’s performance and progress will be tracked and charted throughout the comprehensive program. We have partnerships with both public and private facilities to maximize training availability and reduced family impact due to travel times.
