Pull The
String.
StringTeam develops complete hoopers. Skill, IQ, and confidence built through individualized work, real reps, and a process that has put pro, college, and high school players in position to win.
The StringTeam Process
One program. Built for the player who wants more than reps. We develop the skill, the IQ, and the swagger that separates the next-level hooper from the rest of the gym.
Skill
Handle, footwork, finishing, shooting mechanics. We rebuild your bag from the ground up so every move you own is a real one in the game.
IQ
Reads, spacing, pace, decision speed. Game film, situational drills, and live work that teach you to think one play ahead.
Swagger
Confidence is trained. We build the mental side. How you carry yourself when shots are not falling, when the clock is winding down, when the moment is yours.
