"I think one of the key things that I always liked about what you do, the drills that you guys create, isn't geared towards a nine year old or a 10 year old. It's the same footwork. It's the same drills that you're running with high school, college, maybe even some of your NBA players that you guys have trained in the past. And I think that's really one of the areas that has helped Cole excel, is a lot of that development and footwork and just understanding spacing - a lot of things that he's learned from you guys at a young age that most kids just don't learn."

"Exceptional basketball training based in NH. My child has grown both as a player and as a person while working with Coach BJ Mumford. He is very detailed and the training is technical. Highly recommend."
- Michael Pellman
"BJ has been great helping develop my son. He keeps the training interesting and develops their all around skills. I would highly recommend BJ to work with boys and girls of all ages."
-Jason Conway
"My children have been attending training sessions with BJ for the past month or so. He is extremely patient with the children and customizes the training based on varying skill levels. The children look forward to each session and we’re very thankful to BJ and this tremendous program."

Problem
Your player feels out of control
They may not be a great shooter, but they can get to the basket. The problem is they can't finish when they get there.
Their teammates don't pass them the ball very often, and their coach doesn't give them any room for mistakes.
When they do drive, they have only 1 option to score at the rim.
Under pressure, and at game speed they are likely to get the ball deflected, get blocked, or just miss open shots because of poor body/ ball control and a lack of options.
So they start to always pass to someone else instead of trying to score - even on easy, open opportunities!
Sound familiar?
Or, maybe they throw their body at the defense in frustration, throw up wild shots, and throw up their hands when they don't get the foul call they wanted.
The bottom line is:
They have no control over playing time.
They have no control over how often they touch the ball.
They have no control over foul calls.
They have no control over their footwork, their options at the rim, their grip on the ball, or their dynamic balance in the air - 4 things they CAN control, but haven't learned yet.
They feel helpless, and have begun to doubt their ability to score.
Your player has no control.
Solution
Good news!
There is a solution designed with your player in mind!
Introducing The Layup Maker - Finish with any hand, any foot, any time!
We help your player develop Jedi Master-level control over finishing
Other programs shame your player for not finishing the "easy 2's", while providing them only one option to practice.
We help your player develop Jedi Master-level control over finishing technique and decisions, so they can feel confident using any hand, any foot, any time they need to score!
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 "zoom in" on defensive skills to improve
- Are struggling with defense, or are nervous about defending at their next level team
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
- We work with a max of 8 players per group, with competitive discovery of problems, skills as solutions, and immediate game application of skill in competitive situations

Why should I choose the Group vs 1on1 format?
- 1on1 training is like tutoring for players that are beginners, feel behind their peers, or are new to a skill or concept - it has a great amount of leverage in getting 150+ repetitions with the full focus of coach and player
- The Group format makes everything we do translate better to games with our Play-Practice-Play format - we play to discover why we need a skill, breakdown the skill as a solution to a problem, then play again to test it vs live defense. Coach BJ's expertise in instructions and feedback allow him to touch a group of up to 8 players with specific individual feedback on every repetition, while they get the benefit of competitive application of each skill
What if I can't make it to the group training session?
- We offer this program in 1on1 and group format, so if you know you'll have to miss a session in advance, we will make it up in a 1on1 session instead! (Make up session needs must be stated at start of the program)
