About
Basketball-specific training, close to home
HoopsStrength is a basketball training company in Rochester, New York, working with student athletes from their first classes through high school and college play.
Our mission
Our mission is to provide the highest level of basketball-specific training in our region. For our clients, this includes cutting edge skills training as well as techniques to improve athleticism and confidence on the court. It is our goal to be a high impact supplement to student athletes of all ages who love the game!
How we train
Skills and athleticism are trained together, because they show up together on the floor.
Skills work
Shooting, dribbling, attack moves, working off screens and defence, taught at a level that matches the athlete's grade band.
Strength, speed and jump
Basketball-specific strength and conditioning so athletes can hold up through a season and move better in game situations.
Confidence on the court
Reps in live and situational settings, so players trust what they have worked on when the game speeds up.
Groups that make sense
Classes are organised by grade or competitive level, and several are run separately for boys and girls.
