Next Level Small Group Training
Our Next Level training is a year-round skills training program focused on individual development in small group settings.
Each player will receive a free initial training session and evaluation and then placed in a starting class (see class descriptions below). In each of these classes our training staff, led by Seth Henshaw, will focus on getting players to "the next level" The next level could be making a team, becoming a starter, getting moved up or just improving in a specific area of the game .
Specific skills being covered will include shooting, ball handling, passing, finishing at the basket as well as some defensive and offensive team concepts. Workouts will generally conclude with a strength/conditioning element. We offer seasonal memberships, an 8 class package (those can be used at any point) or a drop in rate for individual classes.
