Welcome
Welcome to DRIVE. We are a youth basketball program focused on developing youth basketball players through individual, small group training sessions, and summer/fall clinics. We work closely with each player, parent, and coach to develop and implement training programs that provide tangible results.

Build Confidence
Growing up playing youth sports provides many physical and mental challenges with the development of confidence being at the top of the list.
Building confidence is a process that involves the courage to take risks, an understanding of the temporary struggle and frustration when leaving comfort zones, the mental stamina to continue pushing forward, and the patience required to reach personal/group goals.
Our program places young athletes in an environment where they are given the freedom to fail which allows them to build the mental toughness and DRIVE to excel not only in youth sports but in every day challenges.
Small Group & Team Clinics
Our group basketball clinics are structured to teach around our 3 core philosophies which include Space, Advantage/ Disadvantage, and Shot Selection.
Instruction starts with the basics of ball handling and shooting and then focuses on how these skills are translated to the game. Through small sided games, athletes are taught how to make quicker reads and game-like decisions prior to the execution of the skill.
Our clinics strive to provide a fun learning environment where your kids can build confidence and their love for the game.
Individual Training
One-on-one basketball training is a game-changer for athletes looking to elevate their skills and performance.
Unlike traditional group practices, this personalized approach provides targeted coaching tailored to each player’s unique needs. By focusing on individual strengths and addressing specific weaknesses, one-on-one training ensures rapid improvement and a deeper understanding of the game.

My son had a great experience at DRIVE! Basketball basics taught in a fun and comprehensive way for his age group.
Coach George got the kids involved with Q and A's throughout the clinic. Good balance between drills and live play. Looking forward to more of these clinics!
George is an excellent teacher and has great drills to help our sons and shows that he cares about them on and off the court. They love working with him.
