Summer Development

Summer Development: Summer should be all about development. When you put in the time and put in the work over the summer not only will it help develop your skills but it will also build confidence that you will see in growth when you step back on the court for the season. Development can't be random though so we have laid out a plan to help you with that work.

 

We are excited to launch our summer development package. 

 

Part #1 is Athleticism. This is a basketball-specific strength, agility, plyometrics, and injury prevention program. We will accomplish this work with Sessions at Pursuit Fitness and In Motion. 

  • This is a phased system for maximum basketball fitness:
    ⏫Increase vertical and balance with lower body exercise
    Improve lateral speed and explosiveness with band resisted drills
    ⚡️Build shooting and passing strength with upper body workouts

Athletic/Strength development is extremely important at this age. Beginning to develop muscle memory allows your player to become a well rounded athlete that has a solid foundation and gives them a chance to build on their skills and take their game to that "next" level.

  • The camp dates will be July, August, September at Pursuit Fitness for 6th, 7th and 8th graders. The 3rd, 4th, 5th graders will be at In Motion Fitness. 
  • After you enroll and pay for the Summer Development package you will receive a separate email to sign their waiver and schedule your player for the days and times that MVBA has pre purchased.

Part #2 Basketball Skill Development. Basketball skills (aka: fundamentals) are the basics of the game that help you no matter what level, team, or coach you play for. Like any sport, whether you're a professional athlete or a youth player just getting started, you need strong skills to be successful!

  • Training sessions with trainers from MVBA, PVR, etc... These sessions are for players that are just beginning their basketball journey or those that are looking to push themselves to see how far they can really grow!
    • These sessions will give your player many repetitions of Footwork, Shooting, Dribbling, Passing, Defense,  Rebounding  
    • To develop skill you need a lot of "good" repetitions in practice settings, not games.     
    • Sessions will be held at the trainers facilities and local Mounds View School District schools and begin in July with dates through September.
    • After you enroll and pay for the Summer Development package you will receive a separate email to sign their waiver and schedule your player for the days and times that MVBA has pre purchased. In general Mon-Thursday
