Cali Green (1st Year Prep)

Program Purpose

This phase serves as a bridge from training to real game application. Athletes begin translating individual skills into live basketball environments where decision-making, structure, and performance all matter.

Key Differences

Introduction to structure

• Players learn core concepts such as spacing, pace, and defined roles within a team setting.

Development still leads—but performance matters

• Growth remains the priority, but execution in game situations becomes a key focus.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

We track progress through:

Decision-Making Under Pressure

• Turnover rate in live play

Offensive Efficiency

• Shot selection quality

Defensive Reliability

• Positioning consistency

Development Barometers

We assess readiness and growth through:

Competing Up

• Can the player hold their own against older or stronger competition?

Game Awareness

• Do they instinctively understand spacing and positioning without constant instruction?

Coachability in Action

• Are they able to absorb feedback and apply it in real-time during live play?

Schedule:

• Teams practice 4-5 times per week.
• Strength & Conditioning 2-3 times per week with a certified S/C Coach 

Practice Includes:

• Games
• Film room
• Weight room
• Individual training
• Team huddles
• Whiteboard teaching
