Our Programs

Skills Classes & Open Gym.

Two complementary programs that develop the whole player. Skills Classes build the fundamentals players need to compete on teams, and Sunday Open Gym puts those skills to work in live, coached 5-on-5.

Weekday Program

Skills Classes

Skills Classes are coach-led training sessions designed to develop the individual player. Athletes work on the fundamentals they need to compete on teams and keep growing their game. Sessions blend focused individual reps with small-group breakouts, so every player gets real coaching and real touches.

What Players Work On

•Shooting mechanics and form — repeatable, game-ready jump shot
•Ball-handling and finishing through contact with both hands
•Footwork, balance, and body control on offense and defense
•Passing, spacing, and reading the defense in live action
•Defensive stance, closeouts, and on-ball pressure
•Basketball IQ — making the right read, the right pass, the right cut

Led by Westlake Hoops coaches · Low player-to-coach ratio · Grouped by age and skill level
