Clients will be taught the necessary fundamentals to build a great base. I focus on ball handling, shooting, passing, and I.Q to ensure that players develop a "complete" basketball game. Athletes typically start off with 2 ball handling drills so that I can spot any weaknesses. We then shift to catch and shooting and shooting off the dribble. After evaluating the athlete, we can then move on to more advanced drills.
