Our History
Great Training was found in January 2019 in Chicago, Illinois. Our founder, Executive Coach, Tyree York discovered the need for detailed fundamentals to be taught by players who have previous playing experience. Athletic performance movements allowed for players to understand how to move properly and gain an advantage over their opponents. In September of 2019, Great Training expanded to Chandler, Arizona where we began laying roots in the basketball community. We develop players at the youth level, high school, and college athletes throughout the valley.
Our Mission
Great Training offers players the opportunity to enhance their fitness and basketball skills through a variety of fundamental and advanced techniques. Our program strives to not only develop great athletes but even greater leaders of the next generation!
