The program
FOUR WEEKS OF PROGRESSIVE TRAINING, SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR TRY-OUT PREPARATION
Week 1 | Focus: Baseline and try-out standards
Skill and athletic baseline testing (handling, shooting, finishing, conditioning). Teach what coaches score in the first ten minutes: motor, footwork, communication, and how to warm up and get noticed early.
Week 2 | Focus: Skills under pressure
Same skills, now contested and on a clock. Change of direction and handling with a live defender, catch-and-shoot and shooting off the move, finishing off both feet, closeouts and 1v1 with enforced standards.
Week 3 | Focus: Decision making and competing
2v2 and 3v3 small-sided games. Reading help, passing on the move, screening actions, and defensive rotations, plus the effort plays coaches remember: rebounding, deflections, and playing full speed.
Week 4 | Focus: Mock try-out and feedback
Full try-out simulation with stations, timed drills, and evaluated 3v3 and 5v5 play. Every player leaves with individual feedback to carry into their MS, HS or AAU try-out.
The weeks build on each other and end with a full mock try-out, so players walk into the real thing knowing what to show and how to stand out.
