Acceleration & Skills

The Acceleration program begins with a pre-test to measure the athlete's current fitness level. The athlete is then matched to the protocol that best suits his or her athletic capabilities.

Speed Training

Short duration/high-intensity sprinting sequences on the Athletic Republic-patented running treadmill simulate game play. Athletes are taught to improve stride mechanics, stride frequency and speed.

Strength Training

Strength training focuses on muscles biomechanically specific to basketball, including those used in shooting, passing and rebounding.

Plyometric Training

Plyometric training is a very effective form of power training ideally suited to basketball. Players perform specific plyometric drills for increased coordination, explosive power, vertical jump height, lateral power and rotation, and landing strength.

Skills

Players improve individual ball handling, shooting and defensive skills by training on the courts at the adjacent Sports Center. Workouts include multiple drills that focus on ball handling, shooting, off-balance accuracy, soft hands, passing, defending, rebounding, shooting technique and power.
