Middle School Shooting Academy

Build a shot you can trust when the game speeds up. The Dreams2Reality Middle School Shooting Academy helps boys and girls in grades 6 through 8 develop better shot mechanics, repeatable technique and the confidence to shoot with consistency. Coach Lewayne breaks down footwork, balance, hand placement and shot sequence, then puts those details to work through focused repetitions, game speed situations and live shooting reps. Each 90 minute session helps athletes prepare their feet, find their rhythm and carry better shooting habits into the game. Choose an individual date for $40 or get all four dates for $75. The entire academy saves you $85 compared with booking all four sessions individually.

We don’t collect reps.
We build players.

Teach the detail

Players understand the footwork, timing and purpose behind every skill—not just the pattern of a drill.

02

Add the decision

Skills are connected to reads, pace and pressure so athletes learn when and why to use them.

03

Demand the standard

Accountability, communication and coachability are trained alongside the basketball work.
