Why is Training Important?
Why is Training Important?
A&K offers training sessions because we want to develop not only athletic skills, but character and leadership through a game we love. It is important to us that we expose players to opportunities both on and off the court, leaving them with core values that they will use throughout their lives.
What Do Our Training Sessions Look Like?
When our players get to the gym, we find a proper warmup is more likely to prevent injuries. After sending the players off with their coaches for a high-performance work out, we focus on individual skill-based training. This is ultimately what helps each player maximize their potential on the court.

Who We Train:
- Ages 6-18
- Grades 3-12
At A&K, players do not need to be skilled or have previous experience to start learning. Our training curriculum is based upon a foundation of having fun; this is especially true when teaching players between the ages of six and nine. It is important to us that our methods stay dynamic to keep kids interested in the game and enjoying their time with us. Once a player has those foundational skills, we can then enhance our teachings to simulate game-like decisions.
What to Expect at Training Sessions
Each participant should arrive at the facility no earlier than 10 minutes prior to their start time. The player is allowed to shoot around before we start our warmup. Warmups range between five and seven minutes; this time frame ensures we create an injury-free environment. Participants are then sent to their assigned coach to begin the individualized session. After participants progress through their program, they will be paired with other players of similar skill levels. This will allow the players to envision and practice how to utilize their skills in actual game-like scenarios.
