ELITE TEAMS

ABOUT OUR
ELITE TEAMS
PROGRAM

If you are looking for a program that is highly organized, delivers on the promise of high level, quality instruction and allows your child the chance to play against much better competition...then look no further. The backbone of our program is player development; our practices and workouts are highly organized environments that provide players with specific progressions to help them improve. Additionally, our program puts a tremendous emphasis on attitude and character development. It’s not only important for them to improve as players, but especially as people. Welcome to the Super Skills way.

Our teams are for serious, committed and talented players. We are not interested in lazy, selfish, entitled, or individually centered players. If you want to be coached, respect authority, like to make the extra pass, have a team-first attitude and have some God-given talent and ability; then you are going to flourish with other like-minded individuals in our program.

Lastly, it’s important to know that we take a very Positive Approach to what we do. It’s amazing what can happen with a player if they are having fun and simply know that you believe in them. Don’t expect us to be screaming, yelling, and demeaning your son anytime soon - we do not believe in that approach.

Super Skills offers a year-round development program for serious players. Our Elite Teams compete in the:

• Fall Season (September-November)

• Winter Season (November-February)

• Spring Season (March-May)

• Summer Season (June-July)

Each team practices twice per week. In an effort to make things as simple as possible, we have tried to develop a consistency about our practice times. Each Super Skills Elite practice is a highly organized skill development session. We plan every drill down to the basic details, with 95% of each practice focused on skill development. This is not a throw the balls out and let them scrimmage for 2 hours type program! We find that a talented player that has been trained specifically over an extended amount of time has a serious advantage over another player.

Daily practice topics include: Detailed Character Building, Dynamic Warm-up and Stretch, Footwork, Ballhandling, Passing and Catching, Shooting Mechanics, Transition Play and Moves, Pressing and Trapping, Moving without the ball, Man to Man Defensive Concepts, Position Specific Skills, Rebounding and Toughness, Team concepts and Strategy.

We use the Notebook Concept for Learning in our Super Skills Elite Program. Each of our players takes notes during each practice session. Each notebook is a personalized, active-learning tool that transforms passive listening into long-term knowledge retention. Studies consistently show that handwriting notes engages your fine motor skills, minimizes digital distractions, and significantly improves both focus and recall.

Super Skills Elite also takes great pride in providing our players with practical and impactful life skills training.  Our program was created to give players of all ages and skill levels a disciplined, well-organized, enthusiastic environment to not only become a better player…but a better person. We cover daily, in detail, such topics as:  motivation, manners, listening and respect, goal setting, bullying, social media issues, and much more. After all…is all of this really only about basketball?
