The Edge Program
The Edge provides lots of ways to improve your game:
Individual Sessions
One on One, hour long sessionsDuring the course of the sessions I will teach the player dozens of ways to create a shot and to beat a defender. The key to becoming a good player, the most important attribute, is skill with the ball. If a player can handle the ball with confidence under pressure, he/she will get playing time. Confidence with the ball takes time and my method and teaching fosters the development of the player. $1,000 for 10 sessions
Buddy System
Two on One, hour long sessions10 one hour sessions covering all the skills acquired in the individual sessions at half the cost when you split it with a friend.
$500 each player for 10 sessions
Group Sessions
When—6 Days a Week, 7 sessions Where—Collegiate AcademyFrequency— Every day except Thursday
During the time of individual sessions the player will be included in group sessions. Group sessions include anywhere from 15 to 30 players. It is during group sessions that the major development takes place. During these sessions the player is pitted against other players who have been through the program and they are compelled to display the skills they are learning or have learned.
Basketball is a game of repetition. You must practice skills over and over before you are competent and confident enough to transfer them into a game situation. There are no shortcuts in becoming a good player. It takes years of intense effort and dedication. During the group sessions everything is set up to test one player against another. Part of the session is review of what was learned in individuals. Most of it is devoted to playing, half-court, full-court, 1 v 1, 1 v 2, 2 v 3. This is where you learn how to make decisions on the fly, on the run; when someone is in your face. When to shoot, when to pass—that is the ultimate and defining measure of a player.
Drop In = $20 per 1.5 hour sessionMonthly = $120 as many sessions as you can attend Anyone from 4th grade to 12th grade is welcome. There will be a match for you.
Individual Shooting Clinic
One on one, hour long sessionsLearn the fundamentals of shooting with the emphasis on proper mechanics: feet, legs, shoulders, release point, steps, follow through, hand discipline and placement, body balance, muscle memory; all the fine distinctions that make an accurate shooter.
During the course of private one on one instruction we will shoot hundreds of shots with my critical eye following each shot. Every student will receive a two month log to keep daily track of shots taken and made. $300 for 3 sessions
Group Shooting Clinic
Up to ten students, hour and a half sessionEvery Saturday at 10:30 I will conduct a comprehensive shooting clinic focusing on proper techniques including hand placement, release point, correct footwork, follow through and developing new muscle memory to replace the old. I take video before instruction and after instruction to highlight the dramatic difference. I will email the documentation so family can use video for permanent reference.
