Professional and College Training

Program Outline II Schedule

Professional Training:

NBA players and professional players at all levels come to the IMG Basketball Academy in the summer months to improve their games and to prepare for summer league, training camp, and for their upcoming professional seasons. In the past few years, dozens of NBA veterans, international stars and young professional players have trained with our staff.

Our professional training program focuses on each individual player, creating a customized program to maximize development and career enhancement. Each professional player receives a detailed analysis of individual skills, needs and goals. Every drill on the court, each prescribed exercise, lift or movement, as well as nutritional plans, mental preparation and off-court programs are designed to address the goals and needs of that individual player – resulting in maximum sustained results and improved performance on the basketball court. This commitment to offseason training leads to enhanced long-term production and extended career length.

College Training:

College basketball players at all levels come to the IMG Basketball Academy to expand and develop their games in preparation for their collegiate seasons. From upperclassmen preparing for a breakout year, to an incoming freshman learning how to be a college player, our staff provides players with the knowledge, skills and training regimen to get the most out of their college basketball careers.

Our staff will focus on the individual player, creating a customized program to maximize development and expand each player’s game. Every college player receives a detailed analysis of strengths and weaknesses, as well as a progressive plan for continued development throughout his college basketball season.

Our all-encompassing plan of on-court skill development and athletic performance, as well as nutritional education and off-court programs, give players the most detailed and comprehensive plan available for the enhancement of their college basketball careers.
