Those of you who know me, know that I am a big fan of defense in the game of basketball. Scoring baskets is the easy part because most players do not take defense seriously and to pick them apart offensively is really quite easy; but defense is all about will power and discipline and that is what I love. Do you as an individual have the will to stop your opponent? Does your team have the discipline to work together as a unit and stop the other team?
Good Defense and Shooting the Basketball
Elite Basketball Training in the News
Due to the increased success of the Metuchen Summer Hoop Camp, an autumn version will hit the hardwood for the first time next month.

Using 3 on 3 to Develop Your Team’s Offense

Each game was to one point and the loser would rotate off while the winner stayed and played the next team.
Prowler Races Plus a Free Workout Offer
With the Elite Basketball Bootcamp only two weeks away from finishing up its summer session, I have been giving people a look into some of the training that we have been doing since the middle of June. These basketball players are really starting to see the results. Each week someone new is picking up a heavier sandbag than they did the week before. They are challenging themselves and each other to jump farther, sprint faster, do more pushups or pullups, and lift heavier weights. I’m telling you, the atmosphere is great!
