13-week arc

What players get each week

Every practice builds on the last. Skills are layered, intensity rises, and the outcome is a player who can compete with confidence and play with purpose.

Week 1

Moderate — technique first

Foundation & form

—Stance, footwork and balance reset
—Ball-handling with eyes up and weak hand pressure
—Shooting mechanics without defense

Outcome: Every player leaves with a clean base they can repeat on their own.

Weeks 2–3

High — reps under fatigue

Skill stacking

—Shooting off the move and off the catch
—Passing reads on the drive and in transition
—Closeouts, slides and weak-side help defense

Outcome: Skills start to stick under speed and pressure.

Weeks 4–6

Game speed — full possessions

Team structure

—Offensive spacing, sets and read progressions
—Defensive rotations and communication chains
—Transition offense and transition defense

Outcome: Players think as a unit instead of playing one-on-one.

Weeks 7–10

Peak — Select scrimmages, Friday games & tournaments

Live competition

—Full-court scrimmages with film-style feedback
—One Friday game every week for select teams
—7 tournaments across the summer for select teams

Outcome: Confidence to perform when the lights are on.

Weeks 11–13

Sharp — detail work and conditioning

Refinement & finish

—Situation-specific corrections from coaches
—End-of-summer conditioning and habits review
—Personal next-step plan for every player

Outcome: Players finish stronger than they started, with a clear path forward.

Kids program · Ages 5 – 13

Zero experience? Start here.

Our kids program is built for beginners. If your child has never touched a basketball, they'll learn to dribble, pass, shoot and defend properly — taught step by step in small groups by Coach Jemaya and Coach Thamu. Kids U13 and under train with us for the whole summer instead of trying out, and the ones who put in the work grow straight into the select teams.

— No tryout, no cut: every kid gets a spot
— Grouped by age and skill so nobody gets lost
— Fundamentals first, competition added gradually
— Same Fist 5 standard, same coaching energy
— $599 for the summer, split into 2 payments if needed
