THE ELITE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE

The Elite Basketball program plays an extensive travel schedule each season, In past years Coach Cole teams have played all over the United States in prep tournaments and Junior College events. Past travels have taken Cole led teams to Myrtle Beach South Carolina, Dallas Texas, Houston Texas, Chicago Illinois, Detroit Michigan, New York, Jacksonville Florida, Miami beach Florida and many more. Each season the travel and travel schedule depends on the quality of the events and where and when they are played. It is our goal to provide an environment that allows each of our student athletes to experience different cultures and environments, we believe this is an important part of the growth process as each of our athletes desire to attend college as student athletes, this process we believe better prepares them in dealing with many different environments and surroundings. All of our travels that require over night or multiple nights away from the team home will be accommodated by hotel stays where players will share rooms just as they share living space in the team home.

WHO IS THIS TRAINING FOR?

This training is for players (boys and girls) that want to not just  get better but desire to play at an elite level. If you just want to play games, then you should go to a team camp or play some pick up games instead. Don't get us wrong, most of the competitive break downs are lots of fun!! But we'll push you to get better. This is for SERIOUS basketball players that want to get better. You can play games anywhere, so we focus on things you can't just pick up anywhere. We focus on developing skills and the mental aspects that will make you a more complete elite level player.

 

WHAT IS THE FORMAT OF THE TRAINING?

We use lots of tools and tactics to help players. We could use video, pictures, chalk talks, and drills. But we primarily use the "show" and "go" format with LOTS of repetitions. That is the key to progress. We will "show" the players how to perform a skill and/or drills properly. We will provide teaching and instruction. Then we'll "go" and practice the skills using a variety of drills and activities. We will run lots of drills and you will get lots of repetitions and one on one teaching. You get LOTS of touches with the ball and there will be very little standing around. You will be busy during each and every session so be prepared for a extreme workout and be prepared for fast development. We will also put you in competitive situations. This puts you in game-like situations so you can apply and refine your newly-learned skills. Most of the competitive break downs are lots of fun, but it's different than the standard 5-on-5 games that you see at other camps or practices. We focus on PLAYER DEVELOPMENT. So we run lots of drills and provide lots of teaching and instruction and we use continued repetition to assure that you learn and have a great comfort level with what your learning and the skill your developing.

 TRAINING & ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT

 

In every one of our workouts we believe in challenging the way you think about practice. We want to change the way you think about skill development and the way you think about the status quot. We do this by having you perform the same, dynamic, cutting edge and innovative drills used by NBA, NCAA and elite high school players  — but on your level. We break the drills and concepts down so that you can have the same edge over your competition that they do. Our goal is to take your mind and body to a place you have never been.

Improving basketball SKILLS and fundamentals -- shooting, passing, dribbling, footwork, defense, and offensive fundamentals that are universal to the game. The MENTAL aspects of sports -- how to be mentally tough, more focused, and get an edge on the competition. Gaining CONFIDENCE -- becoming a more confident player and person. Building CHARACTER & VALUES How to be successful in LIFE -- It might sound strange to learn this in basketball training. But basketball is a great tool to learn how to succeed in life. No matter what players choose in the future, these lessons will help them succeed and learn what it takes to be successful. So as you can see, the training is much more than just basketball skills. It's also about learning how to excel and be successful in all phases of life. The legendary coach John Wooden once said "What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player." I think he is right. And even though we are focused on basketball development, we also teach players how to apply these lessons to life and becoming a better person.

 

What will players learn?

Players will learn basketball skills and the key elements they need to be great players. Here's a brief summary of those things: How to dribble more effectively and reduce turnovers. How to easily beat any defender off the dribble. There are 4 keys to beating defenders off the dribble. We'll focus heavily on these 4 keys because it allows players to master their dribble moves in a VERY short amount of time. How to become a more prolific scorer - we cover 7 keys to double your scoring average. Very few players think about these things and once learned, scoring points will become much easier than you think. How to improve shooting percentage How to increase shooting range and get your shot off quicker How to improve footwork (instead of teaching dozens of moves, we'll teach 5 types of footwork moves that dramatically accelerate the learning and development process). How to dominate and score more points in the post How to avoid shooting slumps How to get more playing time and become a team player that all coaches love How to get your coaches' attention How to improve perimeter moves How to eliminate the fear of failure (one of the biggest enemies of a basketball player) How to get mentally focused for maximum performance How to improve rebounding How to become a better passer How to move without the ball and get open for easy shots How to use screens, cuts, and moving away from the ball. No matter what team you play for, learning how to read screens and move without the ball will help you get more easy scoring opportunities. This is an important skill for all players to learn. How to create space and get your shot off How to beat players 1 on 1 How to score in traffic How to improve ball-handling and decision making It's impossible to list everything you'll learn but hopefully that gives you a little idea. We will spend a lot of time improving your footwork. This is probably the most under-practiced, misunderstood, and most important skill of all. You will learn how to practice footwork in a completely new way. You'll also learn how footwork carries over into games and how it makes you better. We also spend a lot of time on shooting fundamentals, ball-handling, scoring, and offensive skills both in the post and perimeter. To sum things up… the training is all about helping you develop the KEY skills that you need to become a great basketball player. These fundamental skills are universal for all levels. They will help you no matter what defense or offense you use. That's the great thing about fundamentals. They help you in all situations, no matter what coach you play for!
