Strengthening and conditioning young basketball players involves a combination of strength training, power development, and cardiovascular endurance, all tailored to the specific demands of the game. 

It is crucial to build a foundation of strength and power, while also focusing on agility, speed, and quick footwork to improve performance and reduce injury risk. A high school basketball game can be quite long, so you must be prepared to be running and defending for an extended period of time. At the end of the game, you still want to have the legs and the wind to be able to handle the ball, score, and play tough defense, this is where "Strengthening and Conditioning" comes in.

In our "Strengthening and Conditioning" Classes the student will be training in work out in many areas: Jump squats, box jumps, and depth jumps help develop explosive power and vertical leap. 

We will also work on Speed and Agility Drills: Agility ladders, cone drills, and sprint training enhance quickness and footwork

Conditioning requires working on

• Running: Sprints, interval training, and distance running improve cardiovascular endurance and stamina. 
• Footwork: Agility drills and court work improve foot speed and agility. 
• Recovery: Adequate rest, hydration, and proper nutrition are essential for recovery and preventing overtraining. 

Priority Basketball Academy will incorporate these elements into a comprehensive strength and conditioning program, where basketball players can improve their physical abilities, enhance their performance, and minimize the risk of injuries
