Basketball skill development should be an integral part of your basketball practices. At our practice we spend at least 20 minutes a practice on shooting. To become good at shooting the basketball and maintain that ability takes repetition, and this repetition should come in ways that apply to your offense. You have all heard me mention before that basketball players need to take games shots, at game spots, at game speed. This is a key to component to all aspects of basketball skill development and training at Elite Basketball Training.

Agility Ladder Post Training
Elite Basketball Training workouts are not only about working hard, but also working smart. The goal is to create the complete basketball player, a player that has the ability to dribble, pass, and shoot while also being stronger, faster, and more agile than their opponent. To accomplish this takes a lot of hard work and upon first look should take an inordinate amount of time.
Individual Basketball Skill Development
We are currently in an era of high exposure basketball. AAU basketball tournaments and college recruiting showcase events have become the norm. As a result, basketball skills training has become a lost art. This is inexcusable, because in order to become a complete basketball player, skill development must be a priority.
The Effects of a Lack of Playground Basketball (Part 2)
During the summer months when pickup basketball dominated the playgrounds, I would play almost every night because the level of competition was top notch.

Agility Ladder Finishing Drills for Basketball Training Efficiency
As I have mentioned before, the game of basketball requires so many skills. Successful basketball players must be able to pass, dribble, shoot, and finish. They must also have strength, power, speed, agility, and endurance. All of these attributes are skills that can and must be incoporated into a player’s basketball training regimen. Upon first look, all of this really seems like a lot. However, if you get creative and combine some of the skills into the same drills you can cut down on training time and make the workout much more basketball specific.
One way to combine skills is to incorporate the agility ladder into your workouts with the basketball.
