Coaching Philosophy
Through our quality instruction, our players learn the game of basketball by practicing basic to advance skills the correct way. These fundamentals and efficient movement mechanics are reinforced through repetition. This creates habit and muscle memory. Our players are taught in competitive drills and game situations. The skills they develop translate into improved practice and game play. Players equipped with skill and efficient movement, recognize opportunities and have the confidence to take action: they don’t think; they REACT FAST! Confidence leads to success, success leads to more confidence. This is our coaching philosophy.

The foundation of our coaching philosophy is legendary Hall of Fame and former UCLA Coach John Wooden’s 8 Laws of Learning: “The four laws of learning are explanation, demonstration, imitation and repetition. The goal is to create a correct habit that can be produced instinctively under great pressure. To make sure this goal was achieved, I created eight laws of learning… namely, explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition and repetition.”

Our coaching style is centered on the “Whole, Piece, Part, Whole” method of instruction: We demonstrate or show video of a player using a whole move or technique successfully. We breakdown the move or technique into pieces & the player works to perfect each piece. We combine those perfect pieces into parts of the move or technique. Through correct repetitions, the player executes the whole move or technique made up of perfect parts & pieces.

The complete player pyramid is the basis of how we develop and design our training programs for each of our players.

In order to simulate playing environments and to accelerate the comprehensive growth of our players, we use advanced training aids and equipment in our programs. Many of these training aids provide real time analytical feedback critical to a players success.

The only requirements we ask of players is to be coachable, correctable with good attitudes and effort. This is the philosophy of our training program and coaching staff; we instruct players in a fun, encouraging environment.
