“We have participated in both Alysa’s basketball trainings and strength workouts and there’s no better trainer out there. Alysa has so much knowledge about basketball and working out that you are always learning something new. Her patience and guidance is impeccable and she’s great at holding people accountable. We are always looking forward to the next session!”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the skill level of these groups?
The skill level varies. There used to be a more “advanced” group and a “beginner” group, but due to limited gym time we have had to combine the groups in the past. In doing so, Coach Alysa realized very quickly that it was actually highly possible to have fun workouts where everyones needs and challenges were met in this blended style. When group sizes are bigger than 10, there is typically another coach (when available) so that the higheset quality experience is being delivered for the kids.
What are the practices typically like?
Our 60 - 75 minute workouts are focused on two things: get better and have fun. We go over everything, from spots on the court (does your advanced 5th grader know where the “slot” is?) to game rules (including taking ownership in your mistakes and not talking back to the refs), to every fundamental skill under the sun. Workouts are styled to follow this flow: one on one skills, team skills, competitive skills, game play. We do our best to try and hit all four of those each training session!
How many kids are there per session?
It totally depends… on average there are about 8 - 12 kids per session. We max it out, especially in the summer, at 16 per session. We can run very high quality workouts with this number, anything over starts to feel a little too much like a mini basketball camp and that’s not the goal here.
Who is usually leading these workouts?
Coach Alysa Horn. She has two years collegiate coaching experience, two years professional playing experience, and is a home grown Alaskan who looks out for Alaskan kids as if they were her own! Helping kids both develop their love and ability in basketball is a pillar of her coaching philosophy.
