Fall and Winter Skills Development Training

Skills Development Program - Fall, Winter and Spring

Basic skills development sessions are offered during the school season from late Sept to early May. Instruction in the fundamentals provides an opportunity to learn techniques in a challenging and nurturing environment. Competitions & skill based contests are a staple of these sessions at the lower levels, while a more serious approach is taken to the work-outs for the advanced sessions. All packages are sold in blocks of instructional hours to be used at the discretion of the user. Participants can begin anytime throughout the year. Consistent attendance is the most effective strategy to improvement.

Strictly Shooting

Can you imagine shooting 50% from 3 pt land?
STH Strictly Shooting will offer the guidance and techniques to allow you to shoot the lights out!

"Last year I shot below 50% from the foul line. Shaker's help got me to around 80% in 2 months!"
Ryan Cook JDP All-star, D10 All-star

There has been a demand for shooting clinics that STH is meeting by opening 2 sessions a week, 1 hour in duration. These sessions will address nothing but shooting techniques and training methods. Videotaping analysis will be used extensively. These clinics are recommended for players over 12 yrs of age and will be position specific. Boredom & tedium will be a staple. This is a must for all who wish to excel at the post-secondary level. Runs Fall/Winter.

Anti Wesley-James Senior GCVI

Girls Only
Shake True Hoops is offering a Girls Only training session as a new feature in 2009! Because girls seem to focus so well as a group it was deemed necessary to initiate a program for girls exclusively. A broad spectrum of skills will be addressed with emphasis on aggression and adversity situations.

Big Man
It is essential that players who feature post play, learn the correct fundamentals for that type of position. This Big Man position specific training has been to the benefit of former Shake True Hoops members, Mike King, Mike Ayanbadejo, John House, Scott Jaspers-Fayer, Natalie Achonwa & Jessica Perry: all national level type players. A must for the D-10 forward.
