welcome to training ground sports
winning right ignited by training
our mission is Youth basketball cross-training
The game of basketball is the "perfect" team sport. If you take the "perfect" sport and combine it with a dynamic training system, you can get an elite athlete. But it begins with how you train.
Our mission is to help youth athletes focus on training correctly so they can develop the winning right mindset in the game of basketball and in life.
our APPROACH
systematic cross training
We believe that when an athlete finds joy in training, there is no limit to the athlete they can be. Cross training by combining strategic points from endurance and sprint sports, we believe that youth athletes can improve quickly while maximizing their performance. TGS's systematic approach, sustained over time and guided by data while being fueled by fellow teammates and competitors, will result in maximized performance of youth athletes.
Finding the balance + SUPPORT SYSTEM= maximize performance
When an athlete’s knowledge, body, and desire to excel is aligned, there is no limit in how much an athlete can improve. We believe that cultivating teamwork and comradery while engaging the whole person will ultimately help youth athletes to manage and sustain these important elements all throughout their life
