Very simply put...Our co-ed shooting facility is unique in the respect that our student/players will be able to maximize their shooting
time and develop good shotmaking habits while being able to shoot 1600+ shots in a 1 hour session. This is simply impossible to do
by yourself in any other environment. THE BASKETBALL SHOOTING ACADEMY will have 10 simulated half court areas where a player can shoot
at a basket, have the ball rebounded by our state of the art equipment and have the ball automatically brought or passed back for
the next shot. To maximize your shooting time in our facility, players may elect to follow our recommended shooting drills or they
may develop their own style while using our facility. Players may choose to come alone to get in as many shots as possible in the
time period they elect to use or they can bring a friend or two or three and split the cost and use our two or three man drills without
having to worry about retrieving missed shots....our equipment, the gun and shoot-away will do that for you. As a player's shooting
improves, we will further develop the shooter's skills at catching the ball and shooting off a move. We'll help our students develop
their offensive skills as well as shooting.
Is great shooting a "guarantee" that you will make the grade and proceed to the next levels
of basketball? NO! But...we believe it is a great start. It is a matter of fact that teams with the best shooting percentages win
the majority of the games that are played.
