Elite Off-Season Player Development

Belgrade, Serbia

Personalised Skill Development

Tailor-Made Plan For Every Player

We design every session around you. We analyze each player’s position, current skill set, season goals, and personal feedback, then build a tailored individual plan. Key skills we target include ball handling, footwork, finishing, pick-and-roll reads, passing, shooting, and more.

Session formats:

You can choose between solo work or training in an elite micro-group.

Solo sessions allow for 100% individual attention, more time for corrections, and a fully dedicated approach based on your position, needs, and current level.

Small group sessions (maximum 3 players) are ideal for situational drills and real in-game actions. Grouping is done carefully based on roles and compatibility.

Guards with guards focus on perimeter work, shooting challenges, and ball handling under pressure. Guard-big combinations are used for pick and roll situations and decision-making. Big-big setups work on high-low reads, low post options, and physical matchups.

Training Methodology

  • Situational Drills

    We simulate real game situations to improve reads, timing, and reactions, not scripted or repetitive cone drills.

  • Game-speed reps

    All actions are performed at full speed to develop habits that transfer directly to real competitive play.

  • Competitive Shooting

    We use timed and make-based drills that create physical and mental pressure similar to game conditions.

The price will depend on several factors, including the number of practices per day, whether the program includes only basketball or also weight lifting sessions with a professional conditioning coach, and whether you require accommodation and meals or plan to arrange those on your own.

Preference goes to professionals or committed high-level prospects ready for serious work. Quality matters more than quantity, and we reserve the right to select the athletes we coach.

In your message, please include your age, height, position, and country. Mention the last team you played for, and include a link to your game highlights or full games. Share basic stats from your most recent season, explain why you think we’re a good fit, and add anything else you feel is relevant.
