The initial focus will be on athletic development, including core strength, footwork, coordination and balance.

Why core strength?

All your power comes from your knees to your rib cage. A stronger core will have a positive affect on balance, strength, explosiveness and confidence. There is no easy way to do this, so expect some blood, sweat and tears. Squats, lunges, medicine ball, quickstep ladder, lower back and ab exercises will be done every week. Players will feel pretty sore initially, but they�ll come to enjoy it! ?

We will also be working on ball handling and finishing close to the basket. I don�t believing in cramming the session with multiple skills, I think it�s more benficial to get very good at a few things, rather than OK at many, because these refined skills will be game-ready.

I�m confident we can make good progress in six weeks.
