Week 1 Academy Recap & Development Plan
Prociety Sports 3v3 Academy
Sports Academy · Thousand Oaks
Building Smarter Basketball Players
The goal of the 3v3 Academy isn't to memorize plays. It's to help players understand how to move, think, and react so they can succeed in any basketball system.
Week 1: Evaluation & Introduction to Basketball Movements
Our first session focused on evaluating where each player currently is while introducing several fundamental basketball movements and concepts.
Players were introduced to:
- Down Screens
- UCLA Cuts
- Back Screens
- Reading Defenders
- Spacing Concepts
- Playing Without the Basketball
Rather than focusing on running plays, we began teaching the movements that great players use every game.
Basketball IQ Over Memorization
Many young players learn plays before they learn basketball.
At Prociety Sports, we believe players should understand why they are moving, not just where they are supposed to go.
When players learn concepts like cutting, screening, spacing, timing, and reading defenders, they can step onto any team and become valuable contributors without needing a coach to constantly call plays.
Our goal is to create adaptable players who understand the game.
The Next 4 Weeks
Over the next several weeks, we will break down each movement individually and teach the details behind every action.
By Week 5, players should begin to naturally connect these actions together and recognize opportunities during live gameplay.
What We're Working Toward
Over the course of this 8-week academy, we hope players begin to feel more comfortable with:
- Moving without the ball
- Understanding spacing
- Reading defenders
- Making quicker decisions
- Seeing the floor differently
- Communicating with teammates
- Playing with more confidence
Eight weeks is just the beginning. Real development takes time, and every player progresses at their own pace.
This academy is designed to be the first round of many — our goal is to build a strong foundation that players can continue to grow from in future sessions.
"Great players don't just know plays. Great players understand how to play."
