Tryouts, practices and games will arrive quickly, and the players who begin preparing now will have a major advantage over the players who wait until the season starts.
Now is the time to train. Now is the time to compete. Now is the time to get ready.
Hoop Guru is giving players two powerful ways to enter the upcoming season stronger, sharper and more confident:
π HOOP GURU FALL BASKETBALL LEAGUE
You cannot prepare for basketball season by only working out.
Players also need live competition.
They need game-speed decisions, defensive pressure, conditioning, confidence and meaningful repetitions that cannot be recreated by standing in a drill line.
The Hoop Guru Fall Basketball League gives players the opportunity to get back on the court, compete every Sunday and knock the rust off before their school or travel season begins.
League Highlights:
β’ Boys and Girls in 1st through 12th Grade
β’ Separate divisions where applicable
β’ Sundays: September 13, 20, 27 and October 4, 11, 18 and 25
β’ 40-minute games
β’ Two certified officials for every game
β’ Approximately one hour each week
β’ League T-shirt included
β’ One convenient location
β’ Hardwood courts
Location:
Hoop Central
19388 Progress Drive
Strongsville, Ohio
This is where players rediscover their rhythm.
This is where confidence grows.
This is where players learn how to perform when the clock is running, defenders are closing out and every possession matters.
π₯ H.I.T.S. START AUGUST 4
Our new High Intensity Training Sessions are built for players who are serious about making noticeable improvements before the season begins.
These one-hour sessions will be filled with high-energy, game-speed drills designed to challenge players physically and mentally.
Many sessions will be led by former college head basketball coach Nelson Schorr, who spent 12 years as a head coach and has trained professional players, All-Americans, All-Conference performers and national statistical leaders.
Players will work on:
β’ Explosive ballhandling
β’ Creating separation from defenders
β’ Individual scoring moves
β’ Attacking the basket
β’ Finishing through pressure
β’ Shooting fundamentals
β’ Footwork and body control
β’ Game-speed decision-making
β’ Confidence with the basketball
These are not workouts where players stand around waiting for their turn.
Players will move.
Players will compete.
Players will be coached.
Players will be pushed outside their comfort zones.
Every drill will have a purpose, and every repetition will be designed to help players become more confident and effective when the game begins.
H.I.T.S. sessions are only $15 per class.
Location:
Swish 365
12855 York Delta Drive, Unit E
North Royalton, Ohio
π¨ THE SEASON WILL NOT WAIT
Every player says they want more playing time.
Every player wants a bigger role.
Every player wants to be more confident when the ball is in their hands.
But improvement does not begin when the first official practice starts.
It begins now.
The players who train in August and compete throughout the fall will enter the season with an advantage. They will already be moving at game speed, handling pressure, making decisions and playing with confidence.
The players who wait may spend the first month of the season trying to catch up.
Do not let your player walk into tryouts hoping they are ready. Give them the preparation to know they are ready.
Train during the week.
Compete on Sundays.
Build the complete player before the season begins.
