Individual and Group Sessions

Our individual basketball skill training program is offered to both boys and girls ages 7-17. We offer a positive environment for players looking to enhance their individual fundamental skills.

Training sessions are structured according to the talent level and advancement of players. Additional benefits of the skill training include the potential exposure to scholarship opportunities through Presidents’ knowledge of the recruiting process, relationship with college coaches, and reputation.

Player evaluations are important for a player’s development. It is also important to know where you are as a player to determine your path of development. After your evaluation, you will be advised on what level and division you should consider. After your experience with us, we guarantee your athlete will TRAIN HARDER and PLAE STRONGER!

Collegiate Consulting

Collegiate Consulting for Student-Athletes (Grades 9th to 12th)
Collegiate Consulting for scholarship student-athletes naturally accelerates the college search process. Starting this process early is necessary so student-athletes have ample opportunities to market themselves to college coaches, gain exposure, and receive critical feedback on their potential level of college play. For student-athletes, overlaying the athletic fit during the college search makes the matching process more complex. The student-athlete’s college list may be revised several times before the final target list is complete. We treat all our athletes as students first.

Athletic Profile Creation
We also offer an essential marketing tool for the student-athlete: Athletic Profile: an online website containing pictures of student-athlete with sport-specific statistics, coach quotes and contact information, ready to be emailed directly to coaches on college target list.

Post-Graduate Consulting
Our expertise in the collegiate planning process allows us to advise student-athletes interested in pursuing a PG year. We help families explore the pros and cons to each scenario as they weigh the academic and athletic options that best fit their future goals.
