WHO IT'S FOR
Advanced MS & HS
Athletes need to demonstrate an athletic foundation before joining this program — that means clean movement mechanics, mobility, and body-weight control. Not there yet? Start with Foundation S&C.
THE WORK
Real strength training for basketball. Coached to the details, programmed for the season, dialed in for the athlete.
Barbell Strength
Squat, hinge, press, pull. Built into a periodized program — not random. Real load, real progression, coached to detail.
Plyometrics & Power
Jumps, bounds, throws, reactive work. Force development in the way basketball actually demands — explosive, multi-directional, repeatable.
Max-Effort Work
Heavy days that push the strength ceiling. Programmed at the right phase of the year so it builds without breaking the athlete.
Vertimax Integration
Resistance-based jump and first-step training, paired with the rest of the program for added vertical and explosiveness when phase calls for it.
PERIODIZED BY SEASON
The program shifts with the calendar. Same athletes, different emphasis at different times of year. That's how you keep building without breaking down.
Off-season
Build the base. Hypertrophy and strength volume. The most important block of the year for long-term gains.
Pre-season
Convert strength into power. Plyometrics and Vertimax come up. Volume comes down. Athletes sharpen.
In-season
Maintain. Fewer, focused sessions that keep athletes strong without burning legs that need to play games.
Post-season
Recover, then reset. Address weaknesses. Lay the groundwork for next year's off-season build.
GET PLACED
We assess every athlete before placing them in Advanced S&C. The right work, at the right time, for the right athlete — that's the standard.
