The Basketball Lab utilizes training and coaching techniques developed for professional and college-level players. In short, the youth who attend our trainings will learn more and become better players.
Boys and girls ages 4-18 who like playing basketball, who want to play middle school, high school or community basketball teams and who aspire to play college basketball or professional ranks.
The youth will develop an understanding of how to become the best player they can be on the court. This translates to an enhanced sense of self-confidence in life. They will learn by practicing specifically designed drills and techniques in an intensive, but fun, basketball environment.
Your youth will need a proper pair of basketball shoes and apparel. Shorts and Basketball Lab training t-shirts are appropriate. You will want to provide them with a full spill-proof water bottle. (There are no refrigerators available, so pack accordingly.) The most important thing the youth need to bring is a good attitude and a willingness to work hard and to learn.
All of our trainings take place during the day only, many during weekdays, others on weekends. In all cases, you will need to make arrangements to drop off and pick up your youth each day.
All players are separated into different groups by age, gender, and skill level but sometimes they may play together.
This is one of the aspects that separate the Basketball Lab from other basketball training programs. With our highly-skilled trainers they are able to make an impact with their individual attention to each youth.
It is not uncommon for youth to occasionally miss a day or have to leave early or arrive late on some days due to various reasons. We realize that family schedules require flexibility. If they miss instructions for a new drill or ball-handling move, we will ensure they get time with a trainer to bring them back up to speed.
No. We have elementary, middle school & high school youth who attend our trainings. Most of the drills and teaching techniques used at the Basketball Lab are the same ones used at the college level & professional levels. The trainings are great preparation for college-level competition.
