Shooting
We don’t believe in “perfect’ shooting form. Everyone has a different body, therefore everyone should shoot the ball differently. The drills we use will help players find their shot and improve their shooting by giving them more shooting solutions and better decision-making.
defense
The ability to guard your position is often times the difference between playing with the closing lineups or not. Coaches can say whatever they want but if you want to know how they really think about their players, notice who is on the floor for the last five minutes of a close ball game. The coach is going to play the players that they believe won’t turn the ball over, and the players that can’t be exploited on defense.
Ball Handling
Elite Training Solutions believes in dribbling with a purpose. We value quick, decisive moves that get players going north/south and putting the defense in peril over multiple dribble combos that lead to spectacular, but inefficient shots.
There are only four reasons to dribble the basketball.
To create a shot.
To create a pass.
To relieve pressure
To advance the ball up the court.
decision making
Decision-making is the backbone of skill development. It doesn’t matter how good you are against cones and chairs, if you routinely win Queen/King of the Court, or how many shots you can make in a row. If you can’t execute when opponents aren’t letting you do what you want you won’t be an effective player. Decision-making affects shooting, passing, and defense. By mixing traditional block practice with game-like drills, our players perform when the lights are brightest.
Passing
The great separator on offense is a player’s ability to pass. Those that can always put the defense in peril, Those that can’t are easier to disrupt. By teaching players to be better passers, we make them better offensive engines, harder to defend, and more fun to play with.
