  • Group trainings are flexible and designed to fit your schedule. When you purchase a training package, you receive 20 training sessions that can be used anytime within the valid date range for that package. Some weeks you may attend multiple trainings, and other weeks you may not attend any — you can sign up based on what works for your schedule.

    Currently, training packages are only available to BLBA, Sting, SBA, and Valley players. The sign-up period for the current packages has ended and is no longer open.

    Each group training normally counts as one hour = one training. If you sign up for 30-minute shooting or ball-handling sessions, you must register for two 30-minute sessions to equal one hour, which will count as one training from your package.

    To sign up for group trainings:
