Our Teaching Philosophy
1. Skills
1. SKILLS: Perhaps no other sport requires certain skills sets to be a good player. Many players can dominate when they are younger but eventually the players with skills will surpass them. Also, players must work on skills all year long.
Does this mean players must be totally dedicated all year to basketball?
No. Players can and should participate in other sports but should work on skills all year. That is why at the Eagles we provide that opportunity for players to work on their skills year-round by offering flexible drop-in sessions and locations.

2. Player's confidence/mental state of mind
I believe the most important and most missed attribute that makes a good basketball player is the players mental state of mind. A player can develop good skills but so many do not have the confidence to use those skills.
Do some coaches and programs crush players confidence? Do they not understand it's importance or how to do it?
All players must understand the importance of not just being a scoring threat but become a scorer. Be taught a good scoring opportunity and take advantage of that opportunity and score.

3. Game Like Situations
Game Like Situations
How does your son or daughter do the thing they like most, play games, and not continue to reinforce bad habits with little or no improvement?
GLC: Game Like Situations
Let's face it the players would rather play games than work to improve their game. Games are fine and can be a good learning experience but most of the time playing in games only reinforce bad habits.
G.L.C. (Game Like Situations) is a fast-paced theme focused at all our workouts, emulating game like situations. How do we do that?
Games of 1 on 1, 2 on 2 and 3 on 3
The transition game.

Games of 1 on 1, 2 on 2 and 3 on 3
The transition game.
1 on 1, 2 on 2, 3 0n 3
Competitive games of 1 on 1, 2 on 2 and 3 on 3. Start with 1 on 1 and progress to 3 on 3. Games of three on three with coaches stopping games and making corrections. Three on three is one of the best tools to teach the fundamental basketball. With fewer players on the court players get more touches and more opportunities to score. they can see what is going on in the game. all three players are involved scoring, moving without the ball, on and off the ball screens. Coaches can more easily correct issues because there are only six players on the court. Players are required to play on the ball defense and help defense. It is easier to focus on teaching boxing out. If a player masters the principles of 3 on 3, they have mastered the game. |
Transition Game
Players are required today to play a fast transition game. On offense ATTACK and get back on defense. Players will be put thru competitive full court fast transition drills. They will be taught the mental concept and importance of the transition game. Players must transition from offense to defense in an instant. In other sports there is a more organized and predictable change of possession. In basketball this can happen in an instant: Stolen ball, rebound and quick turnovers. Master the half court game with 3 on 3 and then add the full court game. |
