Youth Hoops Basketball Skills Development Program

Youth Hoops has developed a comprehensive basketball skills curriculum built around five core areas of player development:

Ball Handling • Shooting • Offensive Moves • Defense • Inside Play

Each course runs approximately two months and includes six individual training sessions.

Focused Training. Complete Player Development.

Each course places special emphasis on one specific area of the game. For example, during the Ball Handling Course, players spend additional time developing ball control, change of direction, change of speed and the ability to handle the basketball under pressure.

However, we believe great basketball players need a complete skill set. That's why every course also incorporates elements from the other four areas.

In other words, we continue developing the complete player while placing additional emphasis on one particular skill.

What Players Will Learn

Training sessions feature teaching stations designed to provide players with quality instruction and plenty of hands-on repetitions.

Players will work on important individual offensive and defensive skills including:

  • Ball handling

  • Shooting

  • Passing

  • Offensive moves

  • Screening

  • Finishing

  • Man-to-man defense

  • Footwork and movement

Our goal is simple: teach players the proper techniques and then give them the repetitions necessary to improve.

From Individual Skills to Playing the Game

After individual skill development, players begin learning how those skills fit into team basketball.

Players will be introduced to concepts such as floor spacing, passing and cutting, dribble penetration, movement without the basketball, offensive rotations and decision-making.

Sessions conclude with controlled play, where players have an opportunity to take what they have learned and apply it in game-like situations.

We don't want players to simply perform drills. We want them to understand when, where and why to use their skills when playing basketball.

More Than Basketball

Every session begins with a “Quote of the Day.”

Coaches use the quote to briefly discuss important lessons such as communication, effort, discipline, teamwork, self-improvement, confidence, accountability and what coaches look for in players.

Our goal is not only to help young athletes become better basketball players, but also to help them develop habits that can benefit them away from the court.
