challenge your potential
modern pro skills and open runs
Modern Basketball is hosting Pro Skills & Open Run every Friday night! These clinics will be a blend of skills training & development with situational basketball scenarios, strategy, IQ drills, footwork with the purpose of building mental toughness and confidence. We teach the fundamentals of basketball with new drills that require maximum focus and challenges each player's ability to perform the fundamentals in pressure situations. With our format that is broken down below we guarantee you will see a positive change in each athlete.
Focused skill work:
We will start each clinic with a breakdown of everyone's shots ensuring to get the best form (not using the guide hand or the thumb to shoot) on every rep to build a more consistent and accurate shot. Our daily ball handling will include tight on balance, wide base (for more efficient attacking angles) stationary ball handling drills that teach finger pad control, dribbling pace and creativity. We will incorporate in-traffic ball handling as well as open court, simulating half court and transition moves and reads. Lastly, our ball handling will help each player learn how to move his defender to gain the advantage getting to the rim and making plays. We will simulate and create high pressure situations for players to pass and dribble out of to increase their awareness and ability to handle pressure.
Station work:
Each day we will break into small groups(PG, SG, SF, PF) and work on specific actions/skills for each position.
Situational work:
We will then move on to live play situational work. We will work on the most common actions in today's game (pick and roll, dribble hand off, pin downs, double downs and playing out of the high post trailer).
Teaching method:
Learn it - we explain the concept, demonstrate it and have a few players try it.
Drill it - everyone goes to their station and reps it out. We will use the dummy defense technique so the offensive player will get a good feel of the contact, timing and space needed to make the move/concept successful.
Go live - we set up the scenario in which each concept will be used then go live so players understand when they will apply what they've learned.
Open runs:
We will end the clinic with open runs that focus on the actions we worked on earlier in the clinic. The teams will be divided evenly and will change based on competitiveness and score difference.
Highlights
Coaches have college and professional level experience.
We will use Dr. Dish to get maximum reps with shooting
We will break into groups to work on different skill sets to guarantee quality time and teaching.
We are training over a 5 month period which makes the learning process more successful when building new habits or breaking bad ones.
Using the learn it - Drill it - Go live method gives each player the best opportunity to learn the skill the same way college and pro athletes do.
We break into small groups and work on in-game reads while executing some of the most used actions in the modern game.
Open run at the end of each session with emphasis on some things we learned.

about us
What makes us different
I started Modern Basketball to give athletes of all skill levels an even playing field by offering the latest basketball drills integrated with core strengthening, cardiovascular conditioning, speed, agility, and power, that are sure to challenge every athlete mentally and physically. Each client gets customized workouts designed to improve their weaknesses and fine tune their strengths.
I remember going through the ranks of the basketball business and at some points I wasn't challenged at all and at other I felt like "if I only knew then what I know now". So with Modern Basketball we teach our clients about every aspect of the business of basketball including, skills, nutrition, choosing a college, social media, and political. We look at each client as a lifetime relationship helping them get what they want out of basketball, whether it be an education, career or just making their high school team. Because I've played at every level I can mentor or connect my clients to help then make strategic decision to get them where they need to be, so they can get what they want out of Basketball.
How we work
