"I love to return to OTC camps and work with all the younger players. OTC teaches the game to help take your game to a HIGHER level. I love Coach Lady!"--TSutt
Beyond the Court
ON THE COURT Basketball Club believes that the life lessons learned through participating in youth sports are more important than any of the basketball skills we teach. Through involvement in charitable activities, personal development seminars and mental skills activities, we seek to help develop our players into well-rounded, resilient, caring and successful adults.
Below are several of the activities that our players participate in.
COLLEGE RECRUITMENT-
Coach Cerezola & LadyG will lead in the Recruiting process for each player in the program.
Coach Lady has been coaching for only 12 years in the High school level, but has an elaborate group of Alumni that was afforded a college scholarship as a result of extensive recruiting. What makes her technique valuable? Coach Lady & Cerezola assists the players with finding the right academic, social and athletic fit for their college experience.She digs deep in helping the players find what is best for them. Coach Cerezola college experience helps identify the best program for each player we represent.
Coach Lady also partners with Next Level Exposure for film and high light videos.
In most cases, the highlight video is the most important tool a prospective student-athlete can use when trying to get noticed by colleges. It can be the difference between a coach coming out to see you play and briefly glancing at your name on a college coach packet at an event.
ONLY 3% OF ATHLETES HAVE VIDEO ACCESSIBLE ONLINE FOR COLLEGE COACHES TO VIEW WHILE 100% OF COLLEGE COACHES AGREE THAT VIDEO IS KEY IN EVALUATING A PLAYER
The biggest and best advantage you can get in your recruiting process is to get a highlight video created and make it easier for college coaches to see you. NEXT LEVEL EXPOSURE HAS HELPED MANY OTC PLAYERS IN THE RECRUITING PROCESS.
POSITIVE COACHING ALLIANCE PLAYER SEMINARS & FCA -
This past year our players participated in Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) seminars that teach them about teamwork, sportsmanship and leadership. We will continue to use this program on line to help foster our players beyond playing the game.
On The Court goal is to build the entire athlete: athletic performance and character building.
OPERATION CHRISTMAS - During the holiday season, OTC joins St.Peters and various local churches and create shoeboxes full of gifts for underprivileged children around the surrounding areas of Georgia. Operation Christmas has brought these shoeboxes to millions of children in need.

Elite Developmental Training:
OTC Basketball Training is an elite basketball training program for players of all skill levels. Our goal is to help boys and girls athletes develop comfort, confidence, and consistency with game skills that ultimately produce in-game results.
Our elite basketball training program is open to ALL players. Athletes can work with our preferred professional skills coaches who have over 40 years of experience training elite basketball players such as UGA LEGEND & NBA Veteran Damien Wilkins, MTSU Freshman of the Year, Taylor Sutton, Kaylin Jennings, Jon & Larissa Bishop, Brandon Cerezola, Mak Fletcher and WNBA Legend Lady Hardmon Grooms.
Philosophy:
First of all, we want our players to have fun! We take pride in sharing our love for the game.
Second, we prioritize several core skills areas in our basketball training program to ensure players experience success. These areas are:
- Shooting Fundamentals
- Contested Finishing
- Handling Pressure
- Defending Your Position
- Spacing/Moving Without Ball
Third, we take a teaching approach in our basketball training program, since both Directors are professional Teachers. Explanation plus demonstration is a centerpiece of our workouts. Lessons include detailed breakdowns to ensure that players progress through the four levels of learning:
- Level 1 - Hearing it or seeing it
- Level 2 - Understanding it
- Level 3 - Being able to do it
- Level 4 - Being able to feel it
TRAINING OPTIONS:
Contact Valerie Hardmon, Basketball Operations to schedule training. Please select one of our elite basketball training options:
Private Training (1 Player)
Individualized basketball training that allows players to improve through one on one instruction with our elite basketball training program coaches. The skill development structure will be based on individual player needs and will incorporate both skill development and putting the player in game-specific situations.
Semi-Private Training (2-3 Players)
This option allows players the opportunity to refine the nuances of their game and apply game strategies in a smaller, more private setting. Semi-Private Groups must be agreed upon with the clients.
Group Training (4+ Players)
Offers players a balance of individual skill work and competitive drills in a larger group setting. Players are able to train against guided defenders which provides them with the opportunity to progress towards small sided decision-making drills. Group Training is great for players to learn how to translate their skills into actual game situations.
