Most sessions begin with shooting instruction as it is individual specific to that individual’s personal needs and desire. So if you need to develop low post moves our trainers will design a program for those on the block. We have a very extensive perimeter shooting instruction to improve shooting percentages as much as 10% in all facets of the game. (Catch and shoot, shooting of the dribble, free throw shooting, off the pick and roll, off the pick and pop, three points shooting, face up shooting for low post players). With our shooting instruction sessions we ask that you purchase at least five sessions to see improvement as with shooting the fundamentals need to be reinforced on a weekly basis before improvement can be noticeable.

Low post training component is one where versatility is the key focus for all low post players. Since most preteens to teens tend to be post players early in their basketball lives and naturally progress to wing or guards due to a cease in growth or finding the need to develop other parts of their game based on philosophy of a high school coach. With this type of basketball training Pure Game will be able to slowly develop a post player to be able to catch the ball on the perimeter and still score the basketball by using the moves we have deemed necessary for low post play wing moves and pull up jump shots. Also, by doing ball handling drills we afford our post players the confidence to easily transition to the wing without pause. Although there are some things similar to what the perimeter workout will look like, it is much more different as the primary focus is for consistency around the basket. The main focus of the workout for the post player is to improve his ability to make plays down low or with his back to the basket but the new college game have an increasing market for stretch power forwards and those post players adept at playing on the wing.
