Find the best basketball trainers in Southfield

Basketball fundamentals boil down to seven core skills that build on each other. Master them early and everything else gets easier.

• Shooting builds on a solid stance and a consistent release. Free throws are the best place to start.
• Dribbling and passing let you handle pressure and find open teammates. Both skills start with soft hands.
• Footwork and defense start with a low stance and quick feet. Sliding without crossing your feet is the key.
• Rebounding and conditioning keep you effective late in the game. Box out first and then jump.

A private coach spots weak fundamentals early and builds a plan around them.
