What is it?

- A Shooting Academy designed to help increase your shooting %, confidence, and technique.

For grades 6th – 12th

Why do this program?
What you’re doing is most likely not enough!
This program is what separates the average shooters from the good/great shooters. Attending your teams practice is not enough for you to become the shooter you want to be. Shooting with your neighborhood friends isn’t enough to help you reach your shooting goals. Practicing half speed isn’t going to prepare you for the types of shots you will see in the game. Bottom line is this; you need to shoot 75 shots before you even start your real shooting workout. The first 75 is just the warm-up. Here’s what you need to do in order to get ahead in the shooting game. Shoot 75 shots before and after each practice. Then, during one of your days off each week, really work on grooving your shot by shooting 300 + shots at game speed, with game focus, and with a shooting coach who knows what they are doing. This is where the Shooting Academy comes in. How do I know this works? Well, every Sunday afternoon I went to my High School gym and shot hundreds of shots at game speed, with game focus, with the best shooting coach around. This was in addition to shooting before and after each practice. Did it work? Well, you be the judge. Becoming an excellent shooter helped me reach these achievements:

1996 Central Texas Player of the Year
Division 1 scholarship to Murray State Univ.
Played in 3 NCAA tourneys
Top 3pt shooter in conference ‘97-‘98
1996 HS All American HM
1996 First Team All-State
All-Region ’94-‘96
All-District ’94-‘96

What’s included?

1. Initial 20 min. shooting & goal setting evaluation.
2. 50-minute weekly shooting training in small group environment. This is a structured shooting environment where each player will be taken through a high level shooting routine each week. This will assist each player in reaching his/her shooting goals.
3. Sunday open shooting @ Hoop Zone from 4-6pm.

Final 30 min. shooting evaluation


The Schedule
· Wednesdays from 6-8:30pm.
· Group times:
Grades 6-8th from 6:00-7:15pm & Grades 9-12th from 7:15-8:30pm

What will be taught/learned?

· Increase your shooting % form & Accuracy
· New ability to critique your own shot
· Greater confidence
· Mental Toughness/Focus
· Strategic shooting workouts/routines to go

Act fast on this one-of-a-kind program offer because I am limiting this to only 10 players per grade. The price ($150) is a bargain and the reward will be more than worth it. Remember, the initial evaluation and teaching session begins on October 7th which is only 1 week away. Don't spend another pre-season wishing you had invested in changing, tweaking, or just improving your shooting form.

How many "same" shots does it take before your shot becomes AUTOMATICALLY CONSISTENT?

500?  1,000?  10,000?  100,000?  Try 200,000.  That's how many "same technique" shots it takes before your shot becomes automatic.  Automatic means you shoot the ball the same way every time without having to even think about it.  This is the level NBA and high level college players have risen to.  Good or bad, there shooting techniques are consistent because they have taken more than 200,000 shots the same way through many hours of practice time.  Someone asked the question, "how many shots would I have to take every day for me to shoot 200,000 shots in 1 year?"  Well, to be exact (almost), you would need to shoot 548 "same" shots 7 days a week for 1 year to reach 200,000.  And if you take 2 days off every week the number increases to 767 "same" shots 5 days a week for 1 year straight.  This is why there are very few great shooters.  It takes a high number of repetitions done the same way in order for a shot to become automatically consistent.  Most players are not willing to invest that much time and effort into their shooting future.  This week at the AP Shooting Academy, we are providing our campers an opportunity to build the habits and skills necessary to being the journey toward becoming a great shooter, or at least the very best shooter each player can become.  Join us at one of our camps or training sessions if you want to take your shooting game to the next level!

Wow, whatever you did with Riley is working like a charm.  He scored a career high 20 points Tuesday and 10 points on Friday.  Thanks again for your help!

Jacob attended the camp last summer.  I can tell you that he shot the ball the best that I have ever seen him shoot after attending the AP Shooting Academy camp.  Thanks,
--Greg Jiongo

As a mother, teacher, and former boys' and girls' basketball coach, I am extremely impressed and very appreciative of Hoop Zone, particularly Coach Aaron Page.  The results for my son, A.J., have been outstanding, because Hoop Zone inspires confidence, encourages teamwork, develops sound fundamental skills, and fosters a genuine love for the game of basketball.  –Vickie

Hi Aaron,
Olivia had a great time yesterday………Thanks for lighting the fire

The entire experience was positive.  It was especially valuable that Aaron provided a shooting workout that Thomas can continue to perform.  --Phill Adkins
------------------------
Hi, Aaron,
 Brittany was just talking the other day about you and going to Hoop Zone.  Everyone who has played with Brittany last year, and has seen her so far this year, has commented on how she has improved.  And of course we tell them about you and Hoop Zone.  There is such an improvement also in Brittany's confidence and attitude in playing and I know a lot of that has come from you and the private lessons.  Thank you so much for being such a great coach and really teaching them more than just basketball!!  Thanks.
--Colleen Fowler

My son attended summer camp last year and loved it.  We can also see improvement in his game.  We plan to attend again this year. --Content camper

"Our experience was wonderful.  Aaron was excellent; kind, gentle, but really challenged & pushed the girls.  We would love to take more lessons and will probably do so in the future".  – Happy parent
-------------------------
Aaron:  I wanted to give you a little feedback on your coaching and how the workouts have been paying off…..Mary and Megan had their first game last night and they played great….Mary made 14 points of the total 28 for their team.  I can't believe how far they have come in one year.  Thank you for helping them out earlier in the year.  If you ever need a reference, feel free to call me! 
--Alyssa Monacelli

Aaron,
  Just wanted to give you an update on how Tommy is doing in basketball.  He is one of the better foul shooters on his team this season and I have to give you all the credit.  He took what you taught him on the foul shooting with his stance, approach, and shooting technique and is doing very well.  He told me at one practice he made 15 foul shots in a row :)  Thanks again.
--Randy

Hi Aaron,
A.J. had a great game today against Canyon Vista.  He scored 13 points, hit
a three pointer at the buzzer between quarters (it counted!), made 2 out of
3 free throw points, stole the ball, and had at least five assists, and we
won! …...A.J. is excited and ready to work with you again.
Take care, Vickie
