Basketball Training in Metro Detroit
Professional Basketball Training for Players of All Ages and Skill Levels
Becoming a better basketball player requires more than simply playing more basketball. Athletes need proper instruction, purposeful practice and thousands of quality repetitions to develop the skills, confidence and understanding of the game that translate to success on the court.
At The Factory Training Centers, our experienced professional basketball trainers bring decades of combined college and professional basketball experience to athletes of all ages and skill levels. Our skill-level based basketball classes, private lessons and player development programs provide athletes with a structured path to improve their skills and reach their potential.
Our System is the Key
Break It Down. Rep It Out. Go Live.

Break It Down
We teach skills from the ground up, breaking them into their simplest parts and emphasizing proper footwork, technique and mechanics before progressing to more complex movements.
Rep It Out
Once the proper technique is learned, athletes need quality repetitions. We progress from repeating individual movements to cycling through different options, helping players develop the ability to execute skills naturally without having to think through every step.
Go Live
Cones don't play defense. Once a skill can be performed correctly, athletes must learn to execute it against a defender. We gradually increase defensive pressure and decision-making until players are using their skills against live competition at game speed.
🏀 Basketball Skills Classes
Basketball Skills Classes for Every Level
We have 30 minute skill-specific classes as well as our 60 minute general skills classes. Each is offered at multiple skill levels.
60 Minute Skills
Athletes will start with dribbling and progress through approximately 3 group-appropriate skills.
Shooting Form
Learn proper Shooting Form in Level 1, proper footwork in Level 2, and advanced game-speed shooting in Level 3.
Handles
Learn ball manipulation, crossover and between-the-legs moves in Level 1, game-speed skills in Level 1.5, and combinations, hesitations and more in Level 2.
Finishing School
Learn RH & LH 1-foot and 2-foot layups in Level 1, game-speed finishing off the dribble in Level 1.5, step-throughs, spins and reverses in Level 2, and advanced game-speed finishing in Level 3.
Off-Hand Development
Focuses on improving your weak hand. Everything in this class — dribbling, passing and finishing — will be done with your off-hand.
Rebounding
Learn to follow the flight of the ball, find a body with your hands, and use proper boxouts in Level 1. Advanced Rebounding adds one-hand rebounds, tipping to yourself and more.
Pick 'n Roll
Learn how to use the screen, make the pass, roll, pop, and more.
Pivot Foot
Master your pivot foot. Learn to score without using a dribble.

👤 Private Lessons
One-On-One Basketball Training

Private lessons are great for beginners who need more individual attention as well as advanced players looking to gain an edge on the competition.

3️⃣ 3 on 3 Leagues
3 on 3 Basketball
3 on 3 leagues at The Factory are an exciting, high energy experience for all ages. For young athletes, its a great opportunity to get a lot more basketball "touches" than in a standard 5 on 5 game, to build skills and experience. For adults, its a fun lower impact way to enjoy the game, featuring upper and lower divisions to match your level of play. Click the button below for full details.
