Private and small group basketball training for youth players — built around what your player actually needs, not a generic drill list.
Ages 6 through high school. Fuquay-Varina, Holly Springs, Apex, and Cary.
Most youth trainers can run a drill. Fewer can tell you why your player's shot breaks down under fatigue, or what to fix first when three things need fixing. That judgment comes from years on a bench, not a certification.
Every player starts with an evaluation and leaves with a written plan. You will know what we are working on, why, and what progress should look like.
Teaching, correcting, and repeating. Not a workout designed to look impressive on video.
Sessions are 60 minutes. Packages lower your per-session rate.
Sixty minutes on the court, then a written plan with two or three priorities and a realistic timeline. Parents stay and watch the whole thing. No cost, and no obligation to book anything after it.
Private sessions and free evaluations book straight through. Semi-private, small group, and package sessions are arranged by text — send your player's age and the days that work, and you will get times back the same day.
Pick your format below. Private books straight through, with payment handled at booking so there is no separate checkout to chase. The rest are arranged by text.
Four stages, in order. You will always know which one your player is in.
We assess ball handling, shooting mechanics, footwork, and athleticism, then sit down and walk you through exactly what we saw.
You receive a written plan naming two or three priority focus areas and a realistic timeline for improvement.
Weekly or twice weekly. This is why packages exist — skills are built through repetition, and one-off workouts do not change how a player moves in a game.
Every eight sessions we re-test and show you measurable progress against the original plan. That is exactly one development block, which is why the 8-pack is priced the way it is.
Fuquay Sports Center, 6109 NC-55 South, Fuquay-Varina. Additional gyms across Holly Springs, Apex, and Cary by arrangement.
Sessions are booked directly with Coach Hardy. Text with your player's age and the days that work, and you will get times back the same day.
Triangle Elite also runs seasonal cohort programs for younger players, including Mini Mites Hoop School for ages 6 to 8. Text to arrange, or call (984) 330-9037.
Then it shows up on a Saturday, in front of everybody.

"There is zero wasted time working with Coach Hardy; the pace of his workouts are intense, structured, and incredibly efficient."
