The Sage Hoops Approach
Our training methodology is built on three core pillars that drive athlete success.
Detail-Driven Instruction
Small adjustments create big results.
Every rep is coached with intention. Emphasis is placed on body positioning, angles, timing, footwork, and spacing so players build habits that translate to game speed and hold up under pressure.
Fundamental Mastery
The foundation of confident, adaptable players. Footwork, balance, shooting mechanics, and ball control are prioritized in every workout. Strong fundamentals allow players to move efficiently, adjust on the fly, and execute skills in any situation.
Complete Game Development
Train the whole player, not isolated skills. Workouts develop every aspect of the game: offense, defense, passing, ball handling, screening, off-ball movement, rebounding, and basketball IQ. Players learn the game, not just drills.
