YEAR ROUND SKILLS & DRILLS Programs

Skills & Drills grades k-8

At Larry Hughes Basketball Academy we use a curriculum designed by Basketball Training Systems, called the “Level Up Curriculum” which effectively teaches the basic and advanced fundamentals of the game to boys & girls of all skill levels, grades K-12. We utilize a system of levels to track our athlete’s progress, provide specific training to meet athletes where they are in their development and create an engaging and fun environment in our Skills & Drills program. Every 15 weeks athletes can test out and get promoted to the next Level. Our curriculum focuses on, Ball Handling, Defense, Passing, Shooting, and Basketball IQ. This makes for well-rounded players, minimizing weaknesses in their game.

While we can take our athletes to their highest potential on the court. We also know that not every one of our athletes is going to be an NBA star, but every one of our athletes can benefit dramatically from our program, both on the court and off. We do this by having a clear and structured program that stresses all aspects of basketball and basketball IQ, while at the same time emphasizing life skills that transcend the court. All our athletes learn the value of teamwork, how to be calm under pressure, how to deal with adversity, and how to give and receive constructive feedback. We treat all our athletes with equal importance, regardless of their natural ability. Athletes that stay in our program, will derive life-long benefits that transcend basketball. They will be tenacious with a can-do spirit, and they will have a great attitude, both on and off the court

ELEVATE TRAINING PROGRAM

The Elevate Training Program is for athletes who are looking to take their game to the next level. These classes host smaller numbers which allows for more personalized attention, higher reps, fast-paced, and are only taught by the most experienced Skill Developers. Each session will focus on athletes learning new concepts, breaking down the finer details of skill work and opportunities to be challenged by other athletes. The Elevate program is great for any athlete looking to make their school team, AAU team, or just improve overall skill. These sessions are designed to be intense.
