PLAYER DEVELOPMENT · for every player in your program
Every player gets a clear path between practices.
Your program gives players the foundation, the language, and the direction. They keep improving at home, not just the players with private coaches.
Part of the Team HQ Program. Every rostered player, included.
Both sides want it. Neither has the bridge.
65% of coaches said kids doing real work between practices would help the most. May 2026 survey. 358 coaches.
Private lessons, group training, and development days are great. They are another aspect of a very well-run club. But they're not possible for all players. This is.
THE ASSIST · what the coach saw becomes the work
The workout a kid gets is not random.
A coach notices something at practice and leaves a note on the player.
From the roster, or from the practice he is running, he sends a workout.
The player gets it on his phone. A workout his coach picked is worth double points.
A workout waiting on the player’s dashboard, from his coach → he opens it that night → the kid gets the fix the same week.
It follows what his coach saw at practice that week.
The drill video playing with the timer → the player follows it in the driveway → reps happen without a coach standing there.
THE WORKOUT · guided, short, on his phone
A real workout he’ll actually start.
Every drill has the video. A timer runs. He taps Did It and moves on.
Five minutes or ten. His driveway, his call.
Wall ball, shooting, dodging, footwork. The gear he has, the space he has.
Points, badges and ranks keep him coming back.
“Go practice” is not a plan. A guided workout is.
THE PATH · the next one is always marked
Skills build in order. Not by accident.
He picks a path. The basics first: the stick skills every position needs.
Each series builds on the last. Next up is always on the screen.
Reminders on the days he picks, at the time he picks.
One pass through the season, or three. His choice.
A path with the next workout marked → the player does the next one, not a random one → skills build in order.
Nobody's first season starts from zero.
The player’s week of finished workouts → his coach sees the same list → the next recommendation fits.
THE LOOP · the work comes back
The coach who sent it sees it get done.
Inside your program, with a parent’s okay, a coach sees the work his player did.
So the next one fits where the kid is now. Not where he was in March.
You see how many players trained this week, across every team you run.
Parents see what their kid did this month.
Every kid gets a real year. Even the ones at the bottom of the roster.
Practice starts with more players ready.
A coach cannot build a skill plan for every kid in a ninety-minute practice. Now he doesn’t have to.
The kid used the move at practice. His coach saw it. That is the whole loop.
Two who run programs. One parent who saw it happen.
It creates opportunities for kids to get better because you don’t have time to build individual skill modules for every kid in a 90-minute practice.
Some of these kids didn’t even know which end of the stick to hold—now they’re making plays. That kind of progress doesn’t happen this fast without the Skills Academy.
27 of 31 rostered players did at least one workout.
After doing a Solid Start workout, my son used the move at practice and was stoked—he felt like he’d unlocked a secret code.
Your program provides the foundation. The Academy gives every player a path to keep working between practices.
Every kid gets a real year. The Academy is part of how.
