FALL TRAINING
Fall training is designed for players who what to improve their game in an effort to be the best player they can be. Whether they want to prepare for their school basketball season or to try out and make a Michigan Premier AAU team, training builds the strong skill foundation needed. Club coaches will focus on individual fundamental skill development through drills that will transition directly into any game. This is a great opportunity to continue the work the girls have put in all summer and prepare them for their upcoming seasons. ​

MIDDLE SCHOOL WINTER TRAINING
Middle school winter training is an eight week intensive fundamental skills focused training designed to supplement the school season. While many players take a break from travel ball to play with their school teams, Michigan Premier's winter training provides an opportunity for players to elevate their game to the next level. In addition to the Michigan Premier coaching staff, players will train with Pure Sweat Basketball trainer Trafford Hannon. It is open to any 6th-8th grade female player who is serious about improving their game. 

Training is only open to Michigan Premier players who are not playing within another program and plan to try out for a Premier team in the fall!

Training is grade based and will take place on designated days throughout June, July, and August.
We are hoping to see all the Premier players at our clinics so we will not be having training days on the weeks of the Premier clinics.

​5th-8th grade (fall 2022)
Summer training does not conflict with the Premier summer clinics.
It is designed to be done in addition to our program clinics.
