About This Activity
The fourth of our six class levels, High School Prep is for intermediate to advanced players focused on competitive, high-energy skill development. Shooting off the dribble, creating separation, finishing through contact, etc. Most of our athletes in this group fall between the ages of 11 - 14, but ultimately, it is the skill level we organize athletes by. Ball Handling Focus - Stationary and two-ball dribbling series to build hand-eye coordination and control in both hands - Change-of-pace and change-of-direction combos (crossover, in-and-out, hesitation) performed in tight space - Pound-dribble and pocket-dribble control to build a low, protected handle Shooting Focus - Form-shooting progression, moving from close-range mechanics out to game range - Footwork and balance on the catch — hop and step-in timing - Catch-and-shoot repetition from stationary spots, plus a free-throw routine Our six class levels are based on ability, but here are approximate ages for each level: Jr Dribblers (ages 4 - 7) Lil Ballers (ages 6 - 10) Young Ballers (ages 9 - 12) High School Prep (ages 11 - 14) Varsity Prep (ages 13 - 16) College Prep (Ages 15 - 18)
