Training

“Shane’s training is excellent. His insight and training helped me maximize my position in the draft and I continue to rely on him to improve specific parts of my game. I would encourage any player that is serious about the game to train with The National Basketball Academy.”

We are the best basketball training company in the United States because we teach players how to be successful both on and off the court. We get to know our players so their training program can be tailored to help them improve in all areas of the game. Training sessions include work in the following areas:

  • Shooting
  • Ball Handling
  • Offensive Moves (for Guards and Post Players)
  • Footwork
  • Rebounding
  • Defense
  • Speed and Strength Development

We offer training for individuals, groups and teams. Want to get started? Find the The National Basketball Academy trainer near you.

Testimonials

Dear Mr. Steve Vega,

This letter is long overdue... We have two sons, ages 7 & 9.

I would like to acknowledge and praise the phenomenal work that Eric Love has contributed to the National Basketball Academy. In particular, the work he established with the Mini Dribblers & Performance Day... My sons enjoyed the program tremendously, and as a parent, I was so proud to watch them perform at the Toyota Center.

Eric was wonderful throughout the entire process - from practices to (email) announcements to Game Day!

In closing, I want to thank you, Mr. Vega, for the fantastic work you are doing.

Keep up the great work!

Respectfully,
Samuel Kiteka

... My son Hans Wittenberg just completed a fantastic week at the Eagle Denver Nuggets Basketball camp. I wanted to email you to let you know what a great job “Big Coach Marcus” and “Little Coach Marcus” did with the kids. Hans was just elated every day to go back to camp and whenever I was picking up or dropping off, the guys were super nice, polite, professional, patient and engaging with the kids.

... I just wanted to write to let you know what a great job these young men did. They represented your organization well.

...Thanks for giving my son a great week with your program. Well done!

All the best,
Kris Wittenberg

Coach (Vega) I just wanna say thank you for the best 6 years of my life playing for TNBA. I'll never forget the knowledge I've learned and the experience I picked up. Truly a blessing in my life playing for you. Thanks!

I went to this one camp at the Aurora High School and it was Great! Shane was there and he taught me a lot. He made us make a basketball journal and I did. I tried to keep it up to date as much as possible. My goal was to make and start on the seventh grade basketball team, I DID! I give Shane a lot of credit.

Ray Cheselka,
Seventh Grade Basketball Starter

Shane's training is excellent. He really understands the game of basketball and is able to relate it in a pleasant and understandable way. His insight and training helped me maximize my position in the draft and I continue to rely on him to improve specific parts of my game . I would encourage any player who is serious about his game to Train with Shane!

I want to thank you so much. My daughter commuted to the overnight camp last year and she learned so much. She went from riding the bench to seeing playing time in every game this season! Thank you so much for helping her and for making the camp so fun.

LaVelle Jr. had is first game on Saturday, against Bedford High School and his play on the court was very good. He contributes his success to you and Shane. The individual lessons gave him the confidence that he needed to perform well on the court. We both look forward to continuing our partnership next summer in preparation for his senior year. Thank you both for a job well done.
