What is EYG and Why Should My Child or Player Train Extra?

This is a subtitle for your new post

We know as parents you may be wondering if additional training with EYG Basketball is really necessary if your child/player already practices with their school or club team.


Here’s a closer look at what EYG offers and how it can take your child's/players game to the next level:


EYG provides focused skills training programs year-round for players who want to master key techniques like shooting, ball handling, finishing at the rim, and decision-making on the court. Their coaches have years of experience coaching basketball at high levels.


While team practices are essential, EYG fills an important gap by giving extra repetition and coaching on individual skill development. The consistent, high-quality training will elevate areas of your child’s/players' game that get less attention in a team setting.


Benefits for Your Athlete:


  • Improves weaknesses and builds on strengths through personalized coaching
  • Develops muscle memory and confidence by mastering go-to moves
  • Gets an edge over the competition with advanced skills
  • Learns mental toughness, discipline, and a strong work ethic
  • Becomes a student of the game through a high basketball IQ
  • Stays motivated with measurable results after each session
  • Receives mentorship and encouragement from experienced coaches


Benefits for Coaches:


Players who invest extra time in skills training come to the team setting as better ball handlers, shooters and decision-makers. This translates into smarter, more confident athletes who raise the level of play and are assets on the court.

As a parent, the additional expense of EYG pays dividends in your child’s skill development and love of the game. Let EYG take his or her performance to new heights!
