Group Training Sessions

Our Tuesday and Thursday Group Training Sessions are designed to help players develop essential basketball skills and improve their game through focused, high-intensity training. These sessions include a blend of drills, skill-building exercises, and scrimmages that emphasize fundamentals, teamwork, and competitive play. Led by experienced coaches, players are grouped by skill level to ensure a balanced and challenging environment where they can progress at their own pace.

SPOTS ARE LIMITED
Summary and Highlights:

As the 2025-26 school year approaches, incoming 6th-9th grade athletes in our area are gearing up for middle school and freshman high school tryouts. Some players faced disappointment last year, as 50-75 students per school competed for a limited number of team spots. School coaches observed that while these athletes showed potential, their lack of experience and exposure to competitive basketball and training became evident.

At Hustle Basketball, we are dedicated to helping student athletes succeed, and that’s why we are offering this School Training and Preparation program tailored specifically for incoming 6th-9th graders.

Our experienced training staff will provide expert guidance, instruction, evaluations, and drills to help students develop good habits, enhance their basketball abilities, and reinforce fundamental skills. We aim to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel during tryouts and stand out to coaches.

This program is designed for athletes with a moderate to high level of skill, knowledge, and experience. Spots are limited. Players will be evaluated and placed within groups of their current skill level to ensure the proper level of training.

This program includes scrimmaging in actual games, it does not guarantee a roster spot on a Hustle Select/Elite AAU team or guarantee making the school team. However, if you aspire to become a Hustle Basketball AAU player, this program offers an excellent opportunity to showcase your skills, dedication, and hard work, potentially providing a competitive advantage when trying out for our teams after the school season ends.
