Programs
Training
We offer individual, small group, and team training sessions. Sessions focus on developing the overall skills to be a well-rounded player, but can also be catered for specific individual or team skills.
Sessions begin with a warm-up, then go into agility drills, followed by basketball drills, and end with competitive small-sided games. Total Basketball is also equipped with a variety of training tools such as agility ladders and rings, weighted training balls, weighted basketballs, tennis and agility balls, balance balls, agility sticks, cones, rip cones, and contact pads.
Instructional Scrimmages
- “Playing Time”–A girls-only organized scrimmage that emphasizes game flow and decision-making over set plays. These Instructional Scrimmages fill the gap between pick-up games and organized games and allow girls to “find their game.”
- “High IQ”–A co-ed organized scrimmage with the same goals as the above but open to both boys and girls.
Basketball Camps
“Total Basketball Top 15 Camp”–an alternative to larger basketball camps, this camp will focus on quality and not quantity, depth and not breadth. Because of its small size and invite-only nature, this camp will provide motivated and focused players, high-level instruction, regular communication, abundant opportunities and repetitions in drills, and most critically, competitive drills and games. (Currently in development).
Live or Video Scouting
We will attend a live game or watch a game film of your child and offer a detailed, written evaluation and practice plan based on his or her performance. Evaluations will be broken into critical areas such as: On-ball offense, off-ball offense, on-ball defense, off-ball defense, decision-making, transition, communication, and being a good teammate.
Consulting and Scouting Services
We are available to discuss and advise on both teams and individual players. We can evaluate strengths and areas of improvements, brainstorm drills, devise competitive games, develop short-term and long-term game-winning strategies. We can lead a team skills-training session or run a whole practice as guest coach. Additionally, we can review individual or season-long practice plans. We can also scout opponents (live or game tape) and evaluate teams in person or by video. Or we can simply meet to discuss the beauty and intricacies of the game, including the latest defensive or offensive trends in high school, AAU, NCAA, Euro League, and NBA basketball.
