You Build The Skills and We Help You By Building Their Athleticism
Strength & Conditioning Programs To Help Young Athletes Increase Their
Speed, Agility, Explosive Power and Strength
Our Mission Is Simple:
To help your program create players that are fast, strong, agile and explosive.
Talent Is Never The Limiting Factor...
Basketball talent can only take a young player so far.
To compete at higher levels, they also need the speed, strength, explosiveness, stability and agility to match.
The Basketball Advantage provides specialised athletic development for basketball players aged 10–18.
We help young players build the physical engine they need to perform with greater confidence, compete at a higher level and give themselves the best possible opportunity to reach their basketball goals.
What EVERY Player needs is trained speed, power, explosiveness and movement patterns that support their growing bodies
Talent Needs An Engine
Talent Needs An Engine
Basketball is becoming faster, stronger and more athletic every year.
The best kids today can:
Accelerate past a defender
Change direction without losing control
Hold their position through contact
Explode off the floor
Defend quicker players
Repeat high-intensity efforts
Stay balanced when the game becomes physical
GOOD NEWS!!!! These physical qualities can be developed.
But they require more than random workouts, generic gym sessions or simply playing more basketball.
They need to be assessed, programmed and trained properly.
That’s what we do.
Our Partnership…
Unfortunately your coaches don' t have an endless amount of time in trainings and most coaches are lucky if they spend the first 5 minutes of warm up doing some skipping or a glute bridge or maybe some hopping.
Strength, condition, speed, power, Vo2 all take time and takes progression to build up, it's why we create programs for young athletes to do as part of their individual workouts.
This is where we step in and help your program to run a strength & conditioning program where all your athletes are tested, are measured against age group benchmarks and can see clearly whether they are improving or not.
We want them all to be able to....
Explode past a defender instead of getting forced sideways.
Beat their opponent to the loose ball.
Stay in front of quicker guards.
Jump with greater power and control.
Hold their position when contact comes.
Keep running, defending and competing late in the game.
And most importantly…
Play with the confidence that comes from trusting their body.
How It Works…
There are two ways that this can work:
1. Cost to parent if they choose to take it up, but the program still gets lots of benefits.
2. Program pays and adds it to their program to look professional or adds the cost to the athletes parents.
Parent Pay Model
We come in as the partner with the association, we run testing for all the kids, we provide sessions at camps or trainings throughout the year and if any athlete wants a program then they come directly to us.
Here is the run down:
We test all athletes 3 times a year (start, mid & end) and they can clearly see them vs the benchmarks.
Provide sessions at rep camps, prep for rep programs, etc so that players have movement patterns they can be doing at home.
Provide group sessions during season to help athlete development.
Provide 5 x 12 Week Scholarships for the association to use however they would like (as awards, to keep players, etc) Valued at $600 each.
Have access to a resource page for players and coaches to find exercises, video's and how to's.
In return we ask that The Basketball Advantage be acknowledged as a sponsor of the program, that flyers, handouts and promotion on social media and emails be available for us to promote our 12 week prorgam.
There is no cost to the association with us as anyone that would like individual help in this area will join our program.
Program Pays Model
We come in as the strength and conditioning partner with the program and it takes the overall program to a whole new level of professionalism.
We run testing for all the kids, we provide sessions at camps, we provide sessions at trainings throughout the year and we educate your coaches on things they can include in training to enhance their players speed, power, vo2 max and explosiveness.
Here is the run down:
We test all athletes every 12 weeks (start, mid & end) and they can clearly see them vs the benchmarks
Provide age specific programs for the athletes in that age group to follow (Valued at $600 each)
Provide every athlete with a performance journal for th year
Provide group sessions during season to help athlete development outside of their weekly trainings.
Provide 5 x 12 Week Scholarships for the association to use however they would like
Have access to a resource page for players and coaches to find exercises, video's and how to's
This is tailored to every program and what they are looking to achieve. We will always work to a programs budget to ensure the kids win.
Camp Only Model
We come in as the strength and conditioning partner for that camp and take a session on exercises that the athletes can be doing to get faster, stronger, more explosive and stronger.
We can show some tests that they can do themselves and have some fun with movement patterns. There is no cost to you, we offer the program to the parents and they choose to take it up or not.
Here is the run down:
We run a session at the camp to showcase exercises that the athletes can do at home.
Provide them with some resources that will help them build strength, speed and power
We provide 2 x 12 week programs for the camp to use as promotional material, awards, etc (Valued at $600 each)
There is no cost to the camp organizer, instead we hand out flyers and information about the programs we run and parents can choose of they'd like to be involved or not.
Know the target.
Measure the progress.
What We Do Works
We helped Stella go from missing out on reps to making the top team in just 12 months. She increased her speed, explosive power and was the fastest player on the court.
We helped Ben go from missing out from the under 16 state team to being one of the first ones picked two years later in under 18's. He became fast on his feet, had the stability, core strength and glute strength to support his body and was explosive off the dribble.
We helped Mary go from being a bench player on her rep team to starting and playing the most minutes. She changed her running patterns, was always the first one down the court and was impossible to bench because of what she offered her team.
We helped Matt go from being a local comp player to making a representative team in under 6 months. Improving his agility, footwork, balance and movement patterns, made him a great defender and rebounder.
We helped Taylor get invited to the Australian U/17's camp, after leading Vic Metro to a gold medal. She improved her strength, stability and single leg power, giving her amazing control over her body and more explosiveness.
We helped Adam make his first ever representative team. As a small athlete size was not his superpower. He built his speed, his explosiveness, his lateral movement and would outlast everyone on the court.
What Happens Next?
Lets explore what will help your program reach new heights and have your athletes competing faster, stronger and for longer as they combine the skills they are being taught with a body and engine that will support them.
