The Home Basketball strength & conditioning plan is a great introduction to S&C for young players who choose basketball as their main sport. Using minimal equipment this programme is ideal for athletes to do at home while gyms are temporarily closed. The programme itself will help teach fundamental S&C movements to help prevent common on court injuries, as well as help build the foundations to allow athletes to run faster, jump higher and stay robust.

  • Learn the foundations and fundamental movements of S&C

  • Specific exercises to basketball and court play

  • Focused on preventing injuries typically seen in the sport
