Why Sill Development Matters
When you look at team who state championship in high school, and national championships in college, they have players who go on to play at he next level. Because when the offense breaks down, and it eventually will, you need guys who can make plays.
And ven though every offense looks great on paper, when it really comes down to it, Your success will depend on the execution of the offense. No matter which system you run, if your players can't pivot and pass with contact, finish in traffic, separate from pressure and shoot the basketball, the offense will not produce results.

Frequestly Asked Questions About Our Basketball Coaching Class in Wood River, IL
How many players train together?
Small group classes are limited to six players. Limiting the size of the group to six ensure that each player receives individual attention, detailed instruction, and a significant number of repetitions.
Do I have to create my own small group?
No. Groups are formed by individual players signing up for the appropriate class online.
Are groups separated by age?
No. All training groups are separated by skill level. This is accomplished by players starting in our Essentials classes to develop their skill base and moving to our Advanced classes when appropriate for each player. What class each player attends and how fast they progress is determined on an individual basis.
How long are training sessions?
Each training session is 55-60 minutes in length.
Why aren't your sessions longer?
It's all about efficiency. Many clients tell us they get way more out of a 55 minute session with us than 10 session with another trainer. It's why we've had players from all of the country come to Milwaukee to train with us
