NORTHSIDE FORGE
Elite Player Development. Built for Athletes Who Want More.
Invitation Only • 8-Week Program
The athletes who make the biggest improvements aren't necessarily the ones who work the hardest for one week.
They're the ones who consistently invest in getting better.
Team practices are the foundation of Northside. They're where we build our identity, develop our systems, learn how to play together, and prepare to compete.
But team practices aren't designed to maximize individual development.
That's where The Northside Forge comes in.
WHAT IS THE FORGE?
The Northside Forge is our elite group player development program, designed specifically for Northside athletes who are ready to take their individual game to the next level.
Every session is built around one question:
"What will help this athlete become more effective in a real basketball game?"
Rather than simply running through drills, Forge sessions are intentionally designed around the skills, decisions, and movements that athletes need when the game gets competitive.
Each session will focus on 2–3 specific development areas, giving athletes the opportunity to:
Get high-quality repetitions
Receive immediate, individualized coaching
Develop game-speed skills
Apply skills under pressure
Make decisions in competitive situations
Build confidence through purposeful repetition
This isn't about doing more drills.
It's about becoming a better basketball player.
WHAT WE'LL DEVELOP
Forge training themes may include:
SHOOTING CONSISTENCY
Build repeatable mechanics and become a more confident shooter in game situations.
BALL HANDLING UNDER PRESSURE
Develop the ability to handle the ball, change direction, and create space when defenders are applying pressure.
FINISHING THROUGH CONTACT
Learn how to finish when the defence is physical and space is limited.
FOOTWORK & MOVEMENT EFFICIENCY
Become more efficient with your feet, change of direction, and movement without the ball.
DECISION-MAKING
Improve your ability to read the defence, recognize opportunities, and make better decisions at game speed.
POSITION-SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT
Work on the skills that matter most for your athlete's position and role.
COMPETITIVE GAME SCENARIOS
Take the skills you've developed and apply them in situations that look and feel like basketball.
8 WEEKS OF PURPOSEFUL DEVELOPMENT
Consistency Creates Change.
We're not promising that one training session will transform an athlete's game.
Because that's not how real development works.
Improvement comes from purposeful repetitions accumulated consistently over time.
The Forge is designed to give athletes the structure and accountability to show up week after week, work on the right things, and build on what they learned the session before.
That's part of what it means to be Northside.
We don't chase overnight results.
We build athletes.
