The off-season is the time to build individual skills, stamina, and knowledge of the game.... it is the perfect time to attend The Works Academy!

The "Academy Process" creates the proper foundation for success. Our trainers model the desired task, gradually shifting responsibility to the player. We take into account the player's knowledge of the game and build from that point.

The Academy Process:

Warm-up/Injury Prevention
Warming up properly is the #1 thing you can do to prevent injury. We go to great lengths to make sure your body is properly stretched and stabilized before we begin training.

Speed, Agility and Quickness
We will teach you the proper techniques of movement, change of direction, acceleration, deceleration, and jump/landing techniques.

Footwork
The quality of your catching, passing, shooting and ball handling is directly related to the quality of your footwork. Our workouts are literally "built from the ground up."

Conditioning (with and without the ball)
Once a habit has been formed it must be applied when tired and at game speeds. Our workouts conclude with an opportunity to perform learned skills in a competitive setting.

Cool Down
The cool down is period vital to the regenerative process. When basketball is long done, you will still have your body to live with. A little time now will pay great dividends later in life.
