SKILLS TRAINING CLASSES

Confidence. Technique. Game Sense.

Our weekly basketball Skills Training Classes are designed to boost your child’s individual performance while making every session fun, motivating, and full of energy.


Our Philosophy:

Fun + Fundamentals = Confidence in the Game

  • 🔧 Skill Building That Matters

    Each 60-minute class is packed with high-level coaching, age-appropriate drills, and non-stop action that builds basketball IQ, discipline, and a lifelong love for the game.

  • 👟 Led by Proven Coaches

    Our instructors are not just basketball savvy — they’re educators with years of experience. We coach with purpose, passion, and a plan, so your child learns the right way from day one.

  • 🏀 Complete Basketball Curriculum

    We break the game down into key skill areas:


    • Ball Handling
    • Footwork & Movement
    • Passing & Spacing
    • Shooting Technique
    • Finishing at the Rim
    • Court Awareness & Defense

    Each week builds on the last — and no one gets left behind.

  • 📈 Progress You Can See

    We track every student’s development, group athletes by age and skill level, and provide feedback that helps them level up — both physically and mentally.

  • 🎯 Built for Young Players

    Our younger students train on height-adjusted hoops so they can build technique and confidence early. It’s about real success, not just participation.

  • 🏞️ High-Quality Indoor Facility

    All classes take place at our indoor gym in Brentwood, CA (2010 Elkins Way Suite 100) with space for full-court games, tournaments, and focused skills training.
