ELITE TEAMS
ABOUT OUR
ELITE TEAMS
PROGRAM
Let’s step back and think about this for a moment: Why do you want your son or daughter to participate in AAU Basketball? My guess is that there are a number of reasons, including the chance to participate with and against better competition, to receive quality coaching and instruction and maybe to someday be evaluated by a college coach or scout? Whatever your reasons, the brutal reality is that most AAU programs simply do not deliver what they promise. With the sweeping changes being made by the NCAA to AAU basketball, there has never been a better time to re-evaluate the program for your child.
Our aim is to set a new standard and to give serious players in the East Bay a place to come to do one thing: Get Better. If you are looking for a program that is highly organized, delivers on the promise of high level, quality instruction and allows your child the chance to play against much better competition...then look no further. The backbone of our program is player development. Super Skills Elite Team Program practices and workouts will be highly organized environments that provide players with specific progressions to help them improve. We also realize that it is incredibly important for people to play in games. We will travel to the area’s top tournaments, but again, our aim is to maximize your child’s time each day and help them develop. Additionally, our program will put a tremendous emphasis on attitude and character development. It’s not only important for them to improve as players, but especially as people. Welcome to the Super Skills way.
Our goal to attract the area’s top players; our teams are for serious, committed and talented players. We are not interested in lazy, selfish, entitled, or individually centered players. If you want to be coached, respect authority, like to make the extra pass, have a team-first attitude and have some God-given talent and ability; then you are going to flourish with other like-minded individuals in our program.
Lastly, I have a very important point for all parents considering this program to understand: Let us coach your child, you need to concentrate on simply loving them. We simply want everyone to understand that we are going to run a first-class organization in which the parents will act appropriately. You guys just sit back, relax, love them like crazy and let us take care of the rest.

BASED IN WALNUT CREEK
Super Skills is based in Walnut Creek but our players will come from throughout the greater Bay Area. We do not affiliate with any particular high school program.
COACHING
The backbone of a program is the experience of the coaches. At Super Skills, we are dedicated to providing high quality training with a great coaching staff at all levels. Super Skills recruits, hires, trains, and retains the most experienced and committed coaches available. A truly talented, knowledgeable and dedicated staff is responsible for the guidance of our athletes. Above all, Super Skills coaches make a commitment to serve the academy approach of our organization.
WEEKLY PRACTICE SESSIONS
Each team practices twice per week. In an effort to make things as simple as possible, we have tried to develop a consistency about our practice times. Detailed practice times are included on the following pages. Each Super Skills Elite practice is a highly organized skill development session. We plan every drill down to the basic details, with 95% of each practice focused on skill development. This is not a throw the balls out and let them scrimmage for 2 hours type program! We find that a talented player that has been trained specifically over an extended amount of time has a serious advantage over another player.
