Skills Training

Description:  The PTBA Skills Training program is a personalized monthly plan designed to meet the unique needs of each player. With our program, parents have the flexibility to choose how many training sessions their child attends each week, which days work best for their schedule, and which times are most convenient. During each 1-hour Session, players work to master specific benchmark skills, and our expert coaches carefully evaluate their progress to determine when they're ready to move up to the next level. With PTBA Skills Training, your child will receive the attention and expert coaching they need to take their game to the next level. Unsure which class to register for?

A half-court class has room for a maximum of 12 kids. How do my kids advance to the next level? Students must master specific PTBA "Benchmark Skills" in order to move onto the next class. All coaches teach PTBA's Curriculum and document which skills sets kids have achieved. Players first master fundamentals before being taught more advanced skills.  Benchmark Skills  Benchmark Skills 101 Jump stop Rebound and Put Back Slide and Pass Bounce Pass Chest Pass Full Speed Right Hand Full Speed Left Hand Full Speed Alternating Lay up Coordination Pivoting Benchmark Skills 102 Shooting Form Change Speed/Direction Cross/Between/Behind Strong Hand Layup Off Hand Layup Inside Hand Layup Reverse Layup Catch and Rip Catch and Jab Retreat Dribbles Benchmark Skills 103 Combination Dribbles Post Moves Rip into Pullup Jab into Pullup Step back Jump Shot Pull Back Jump Shot Power hop Layup Spin Move Layup Euro step Layup Floaters/Runners
