What Skills are Focused on?
Our personal basketball trainers will develop a program tailored to the specific skills each individual chooses to focus on from our online course. The course provides tools to enhance critical thinking and empower participants to understand their game. Whether you want to improve shooting skills, emphasize shot form, consistency, game situational awareness, or master other aspects like ball handling, move sets, defense, spacing, and passing, we cater to your specific needs. If you're unsure what to focus on, we can use your individual evaluation to provide guidance.
While our coaches are well-versed in all areas of basketball, we offer specialized personal training for post play; a critical skill beneficial to players of all positions. This focus on the often-overlooked art of post play allows every player to gain a competitive edge on the court.
What Do I Need to Bring With Me or Wear?
Participants should wear basketball-appropriate attire, bring a water bottle and if preferred, bring their own ball. If you are part of the Competitive Sessions, you should also bring something that will allow you to record information for the online course such as a phone or notepad.
Can I Check Out a Session Before I Join?
Of course, please contact us to schedule a session you can visit. You can even fully participate and get a feel for what sessions are like. Parents and guardians are always welcome to watch as well.
What are the Requirements to Join?
OTB Academies is registered with the Alberta Basketball Association (ABA) and our participants must also be registered. If you have registered as part of another program or team you do not need to do so again. For more information, please contact us.
