The SFU Basketball Year-Round Program will work to develop the fundamentals of the game. Technical focuses will include and not be limited to: passing, ball control, dribbling, shooting, and individual and collective defending. We will look at positional play and responsibilities, set plays, restarts, and participate in intra-squad games, coming away with a better understanding of different systems of play.
To maximize athletic performance through sport specific conditioning.
All participants will receive an initial physical assessment early in the year. There will be on-going assessment throughout the school year. Programs will target the following:
- Muscular balance to best stabilize joints, prevent injury and facilitate performance
- Enhance muscular endurance through anaerobic training and conditioning
- Enhance cardiovascular potential
- Increase general strength with emphasis on core
- Maximize the power potential of the athlete through plyometric and power conversion training
- Improve speed, agility, and reaction times of the athlete
- Enhance flexibility
To provide the athlete with nutritional counseling
- What foods are best for athletes?
- When should these nutrients be consumed? (Pre-game, Post-game)
- How much does the athlete need and in what proportions?
- Should athletes take supplements? If so, what?
- Importance of proper hydration
