Train with DBA

Programs

One membership at the center, with shooting labs, private workouts, leagues and camps around it. Here is what each one is, when it runs and what it costs.

18-week skills academy

DBA Membership

The DBA Membership is an 18-week program broken down into two 9-week semesters (Spring and Fall). Your athlete trains once a week for 60 minutes, in a group of their own age. Limited spots are available so register today!

This program is designed for maximum individual attention for each athlete. Every session is capped at 16 athletes with 2 trainers, an 8 to 1 ratio, and includes about 10 minutes of live play so skills carry into real games. This is an intense program strictly for improving individual skill sets. If you aren't truly committed to getting better, this is probably not for you.

Our footwork system is the centerpiece of our program. By breaking down what great players do and teaching our members to do the same in a step-by-step manner, we can accelerate the learning curve. We will teach you how to become a playmaker on both ends of the floor, raise your basketball IQ, and show you how to train harder and smarter, for better results.

Shooting Labs

Our shooting lab workouts are open to all skill levels (beginner to advanced). These 45-minute workout sessions focus strictly on shooting. We use the Dr. Dish shooting machine to increase the volume of shots available.

The Dr. Dish allows a high shot volume for multiple players. Bring your entire team (45 minutes of free court time after your shooting workout) or form your own group (4 athlete minimum in each group). If you prefer, we can group you with other individuals.

These workouts run when our 18-week skills academy is not in session: roughly late October to early January, and again after the spring semester. Pay per session with no commitment. Most members come about 4 times a month.

  • 45 min. workout (high shot volume)
  • Shooting mechanics
  • Proper footwork
  • Quick shooting release
  • Use of screens
One on one, 60 minutes

Private Workouts

Athletes work exclusively with a DBA skills trainer. Concentration will focus on specific target areas tailored to the athlete's specific needs. All private workouts take place at our Topeka location and run on the same days as Shooting Labs: Sunday 3:00 to 6:00 PM and Monday to Thursday 5:30 to 8:30 PM.

Members have priority registration.

Teach. Work out. Play.

Our leagues combine instruction with game play, so athletes keep developing while they compete.

Battle for the city's MVP

3 on 3 Summer League

Our one of a kind 6-week 3 on 3 league is like no other 3 on 3 league! Combining instruction with game play, athletes are able to have fun and learn while competing. Our set up of teach, workout, and play is the best way for youth players to continue to develop and still have fun.

Athletes sign up individually and are placed on different teams every game. Our unique scoring system allows athletes to accumulate points throughout the 6 weeks, ending with the league MVP in each age division.
