About
B1B Five-on-Five is a privately run, comprehensive basketball training program designed to use a holistic approach to help youngsters make significant improvement in their skills and understanding of basketball. We specialize in teaching the game by breaking it down into its fundamental skills and techniques.
Our philosophy is that by teaching the right techniques of all the skills (dribbling and ball handling, passing, shooting, defensive position and footwork, moving without the ball, pick-and-roll, rebounding, seeing the court, etc.) of the game, and by drilling those skills through repetition, our students will make dramatic progress in their proficiency as basketball players.
Further, as basketball is a game of speed, quickness, agility, and endurance, conditioning and footwork are critical. Our classes, therefore, emphasize skills and conditioning, as the two must be developed in concert.
