"(Sayuki) went from someone who was at the end of the bench, just getting a little bit of playing time, focusing on rebounding and defense to arguably one of the most consistent outside shooters on her team.
She went from somebody that was eager to get the ball out of her hands as soon as it came to her, in her seventh grade year, to someone that, when her team was having trouble breaking the press, her coach would put in as point guard. She became one of the primary ball handlers.
And that confidence went beyond the basketball court - She became a team captain last year - Which was amazing to see - and she's more involved in leadership things at school at this point. So when I say that the expense feels well justified on our end, that is a literal fact." - Brian Elkevizth

The

 Problem 

That you have

Most team practices are about activity rather than effectiveness, making players "sweat" doing anything the coach or trainer can pull out of the air...

Most of that has nothing to do with game performance, so as a parent you are left with what I call "Sweat and hope" as your only strategy.

Trusting that by doing enough volume of activity, enough "sweating", your player will hopefully, someday, maybe, make progress that translates to a game.

I'm all set with that (even though that is how I started)

Kids are working too hard and trusting coaches too much to just "grind" on whatever whimsical ideas the coach gives them for the day.

What we want is results that translate to game performance.
Not some things some of the time, but everything, every time.

So, starting in 2025 we are instituting a new guarantee on all of our training:
If your player doesn't have a measurable improvement in game performance after 4 weeks with us, we will give you your money back.

Our 4-Week Focus courses have helped over 200 players achieve specific results in 4 weeks, and we have never issued a refund. Our method works.

- 1 Weekly 1:1 workout (30 minutes) 
- 1 Weekly video recording of the workout

 How it works!

4 touch points we use every week to layer on each concept like a coat of paint - what we call our "PERQ" System:

  • We Prime their brain with a preview video
  • We use an "Espresso vs gallon of coffee" workout and injection of basketball ideas in as little as 30 minutes
  • We Record their workout to document progress and guide their practice at home
  • We Quiz them to recall what we did, why we did it that way, and what it's called

 Example weekly commitment:

  • Sun/Mon - watch a 15 min video
  • Tues - attend 30 min 1on1 training (or 60 min group)
  • Wed - review recording of workout on Homecourt
  • Thurs - practice at home, referencing video as needed
  • Fri - take quiz
  • Sat - practice at home, referencing video as needed

 Who is This For?

Green SOCKS™ to Blue SOCKS™ transition program for players:

  • In 5-9th grade
  • That have played 2+ years of basketball and
  • Are ready to FOCUS on improving their skill level in a way that translates to games

 Objections!

Why only 4 weeks?
Going deep on a single focus with a hybrid approach for 4-weeks is our tried-and-tested solution to mastering a skill set, and each of our courses uses "interleaving" to overlap on core skills and concepts from a variety of game situations

Why so expensive?
We deliver game performance results, guaranteed. We are not counting minutes... What you get is up to you, how we deliver it and how long it takes is up to us!

We spent 20 years perfecting our instructions and progression of skills and concepts to eliminate wasted time and maximize the effectiveness of our repetitions

We specialize in this age group of 5th-9th grade, so we know exactly what they are capable of, how they think, and what works for them

We are a simplifier - we can take the most complex skill and concept and make it digestible, achievable, and even easy for your player in minutes


Isn't this just another "skills and drills" night?
No! Skills and drills is what everyone else does:
- often as a token add-on to a program, otherwise focused on team coaching
- with huge groups of 20+ kids on a court
- working on skills in isolation from any decision-making or game application
