Skills Academy

---

HIGH QUALITY GROUP TRAINING. FOUR 11-13 WEEK PROGRAMS PER YEAR!

Our basketball skills training sessions include for example; ball handling, footwork, shooting technique/ repetition, small sided games for maximum improvement. Our skills academy provides you the flexibility to combine it with other camps/AAU teams. You can also use this as a main source to improve all year round.

We will work on fundamentals (and/or advanced skills) including passing, shooting, dribbling moves, defense, speed, quickness, and core strength (body weight). You will find yourself challenged no matter current age or skill level. Each week there will be a different focus for part of the workout. All drills will be made game-like as possible to get the most out of every minute.
