The LYGS Difference
DEVELOPMENT IS BIGGER THAN THE DRILL.
Becoming a better basketball player involves more than learning moves. Development also involves understanding the game, finding the right environment, building confidence and preparing yourself for future opportunities.
01 — Your Development
SKILL & GAME IQ.
Develop skills that translate to the game.
Basketball development is more than learning how to perform a drill. LYGS helps athletes build basketball skills while developing the game IQ to understand when, where and why to use them.
Training connects skill development with decision-making, reads and game situations so athletes can work toward becoming more confident and effective competitors.
Explore Our Philosophy
Learn the skill. Understand the read. Apply it to the game.
02 — Your Community
DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALONE.
LYGS is cultivating a supportive basketball community that encourages player development, participation, collaboration and inclusion.
We want athletes to have an environment where they can learn, play the game they love and develop alongside people who believe in their growth.
Participation
Encouraging athletes to participate, learn together and stay engaged in the game.
Collaboration
Building positive relationships with families and organizations within the basketball community.
Inclusion
Creating a supportive environment where athletes can learn, develop and enjoy basketball.
03 — Your Athlete Brand
HOW YOU REPRESENT YOURSELF MATTERS.
Your identity as an athlete extends beyond what happens during training and competition. How you carry yourself, communicate and represent yourself can become an important part of your journey in sport.
LYGS encourages athletes to understand the value of character and responsibility while becoming more intentional about the athlete they are working to become.
Develop your game. Build your character. Understand how you represent yourself.
04 — Your Exposure
PREPARE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
Being seen matters. Being ready when you're seen matters more.
Exposure can open the door to opportunities, but player development has to come first. LYGS focuses on helping athletes build basketball skills that can translate into competition so they are better prepared when opportunities to showcase their ability arise.
The goal isn't simply to be noticed. It is to continue developing into a basketball player who is prepared to make the most of opportunities.
