It all starts with Skill Development

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." —Aristotle
 
 

There is no magic formula to becoming a better basketball player.  It just requires proper instruction followed by thousands of repetitions to build muscle memory.  Every day someone is working on their game.  If you are not, you are just falling behind.  

By having our own facility, we are able to practice and train differently than teams/programs who rent gyms. All of our athletes attend weekly team practices where the focus is on team items like defenses, strategy and our offensive plays.  But what separates us from everyone else, is that each of our athletes also have a membership to our training facility; The Factory in Westland where they are able to attend Member's Open Shoot Monday through Friday afternoons, then can attend a wide array of general and specific skills classes Monday-Friday evenings.  These include: Skills & Shooting, Shooting Form, Handles, Off-Hand Development, Pivot Foot Class, Finishing School, Vert Class, and Strength.  This allows each athlete to customize their training to meet their individual needs. No other program does what we do.  NO ONE.

In our Skills & Shooting Classes, our athletes typically go through 2-3 skills, including ball handling, and work on game speed shots. Over the course of a season this time really adds up and is a SEPARATER for our athletes.

Our Strength program has been a game changer, drastically reducing the number of injusries in our athletes while dramatically improving athletic performance.  Our athletes attend strength before or after one of their team practices each week, then have the opportunity to attend Strength after Skills & Shooting Classes on Wed and Thurs evenings.

Finishing School

 

Everyone takes jump shots as soon as they get in the gym.  You may even do some layups.  But the art to finishing is touch, creating the proper angles with your hand and arm, and applying the correct spin on the ball.  This is what we cover in Finishing School.  Athletes will be guided through a 30 minute routine that will increase their touch around the rim, and lead to a higher scoring in games.
