"We are working to help both coaches and players implement new ideas, methods and concepts to help improve what they already do". —Tim Brady

 
 

Our Program Goals:

1. Encourage fundamental movement and technical skill development.

2. Apply evidence-based coaching principles and concepts in our practice and training programs.

3. Teach game concepts through small sided games and circle back on skill execution.

4. To constantly create unique situations in our practice settings to help our players learn to be better game-day decision makers.

5. Provide competitive playing opportunities for participants in the club.

6. Assist in coaching development, consultation, and certification.

7. To help reduce the financial barriers that might limit player participation in all of our current and programs

Approach:

We teach player development and team development concepts, that can be applied to any teams overall philosophy. Wolf Pack Basketball camps, academies, and clinics focus on teaching game based skills and decision making that are transferable to the game, loadable to the skills and ability of players and retainable for players. These include:

-Basketball decision training shooting;

-Advantage and disadvantage drills to each offensive and defensive decision-making.

-Use of small-sided games and a games approach to coaching and teaching basketball.

-Using offense and defense in drills, rather than teaching on-air drills.

-Use of random and variable drills to help promote player engagement, satisfaction and game like training.

Seasonal player camps and academies are offered on a quarterly basis as part of the Wolf Pack's ongoing programming.
