Individual Training

Focused, high-intensity sessions built entirely around your athlete. Rayce assesses strengths and gaps, then designs a session that targets exactly what needs work — from ball handling and shooting mechanics to decision-making and basketball IQ.

Who: Youth and teen athletes ages 6–18, all skill levels

  • Personalized skill assessment and development plan
  • Ball handling, shooting, footwork, and finishing work
  • Mental game training — reads, decisions, and situational awareness
  • Competitive drill work with immediate feedback and correction

Best for: Athletes who want maximum attention, rapid improvement in specific areas, or preparation for tryouts and travel team seasons.

Group Training

Train alongside other motivated athletes in a small group setting. Sessions blend individual skill work with competitive drills, situational play, and the kind of pressure that builds real game performance.

Who: Small groups of youth and teen athletes, similar skill levels

  • Small group sizes for meaningful reps and coaching attention
  • Competitive drill circuits and game-situation scenarios
  • Skill development across ball handling, shooting, and defense
  • Team-oriented competitive stamina and communication work

Best for: Athletes who thrive in competitive environments, siblings or teammates training together, or players looking for a more affordable entry point.

The Training Philosophy

What Makes the Approach Different

Every session — individual or group — is built on the same three pillars that define Playmakers Academy.

Physical + Mental Development

Most trainers work on your handles. We work on your mind. Rayce teaches the why and when — not just the how — so skills translate to real game situations.

Competitive Stamina

Training built for players who want to compete, perform under pressure, and push their limits. Every session demands focus and effort from start to finish.

Attention to Detail

Small habits, refined mechanics, and micro-adjustments compound into major improvement over time. The details are where good players become great ones.
