Basketball Skills Training and Classes
Becoming a better basketball player doesn't require a secret formula—it requires the right plan. Whether you're a beginner learning the fundamentals, a middle school player preparing for high school basketball, or an advanced athlete with goals of playing at the collegiate level, improvement comes from combining proper instruction, purposeful practice, and consistent training.
At The Factory Training Centers, our basketball training programs are designed to help athletes develop the skills, confidence, and understanding of the game they need to reach their potential. Rather than simply putting players through drills, our experienced basketball trainers teach athletes how and why skills work, identify areas that need improvement, and provide a structured path for continued development.
Our basketball skills classes and private basketball lessons are available throughout the week for athletes of different ages and ability levels. From shooting, ball handling and finishing to footwork, decision-making and advanced offensive skills, our goal is to provide serious players with high-quality basketball training in Westland and throughout Metro Detroit.

At The Factory Training Center, our basketball training programs are designed to help athletes from Plymouth, Canton, Westland and surrounding communities develop the individual skills they need to become more confident and effective basketball players.
Our basketball training classes include Ball Handling, Shooting Form, Finishing, Rebounding, Off-Hand Development, Pick-n-Roll, Pivot Foot and our 60 Minute Skills general skills classes. (links provided below)
We encourage New Athletes to begin with a FREE Player Skills Assessment where our training staff will evaluate each athlete's basketball skills, record video for review and detail the classes that best fit their current ability and development needs.
The Factory works with basketball players ranging from developing youth athletes to experienced middle school and high school players, offering Skills Classes, Private Lessons, Camps, Youth Leagues, 3 on 3 Leagues, and Instructional Scrimmage Sessions.
Lastly, we offer several off-court opportunities to imrove performance. These include our 60 minute Pre-Hab Strength Classes and our Classroom Series where athletes and parents learn in a classroom environment.

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
