It’s winter in Kirkland. You’re cold. Your kid’s bouncing off the walls. There’s wrapping paper on the floor, peppermint crumbs in the couch cushions, and the sound of “Jingle Bells” is slowly turning into a psychological experiment.

And what does your young hooper want to do with all this free time? Sit around? Scroll? Watch game highlights and pretend that watching is practicing? No. They need something better. Something useful. Something that doesn’t involve throwing a basketball at the side of the garage and calling it "training."

That’s where EBC Training Centers comes in. This winter, we’re serving up Holiday Hoops, a program built to melt bad habits and reheat your kid’s basketball brain before it freezes into “I forgot how to pivot” territory.

Winter Break: The Silent Skill Killer

Let’s be honest—winter break is dangerous.

No school. No schedule. No cardio.
Fewer reps. More cookies.
Confidence slowly replaced by couch cushions.

Look, it’s fun for the first three days. But by Day 4, your kid's talking to the dog about why the Eurostep is misunderstood, and you’re Googling "basketball camps near me" like it’s a cry for help.

Here’s the deal:
December is when most players slow down.
EBC is where your player levels up.

What's in the Holiday Hoops Stocking? 🎄🏀

We’re not here to babysit your kid in a gym while blasting Mariah Carey. This is a structured, focused winter training program with just the right amount of holiday chaos to keep it fun.

🔥 Shot Rebuilding Clinics

That jumper? Let’s be honest—it’s seen better days.
Our coaches go full elf-mode on:

Form correction
Shooting under pressure
Footwork & follow-through drills

By January, your kid’s shot will be so smooth, even grandma might start hooping.

🧠 Basketball IQ Workshops

Holiday hoops isn’t just about reps—it’s about knowing the game.
We help athletes:

Understand off-ball movement
Read defensive rotations
Make decisions faster than “yes” to a second slice of pie

Your kid will start seeing the game like Neo in the Matrix—if Neo had to deal with full-court presses.

🏃‍♂️ Conditioning & Agility Training

You want the truth? Holiday food isn’t performance fuel.
That’s why we balance the drills with:

Quick-burst speed training
Lateral movement and recovery work
Core strengthening so your player can finish through contact and not crumble like a sugar cookie

🎁 Special Holiday Events

Because we’re not robots—we like fun too.
Here’s what’s coming in December:

Holiday Skills Challenge Day: Obstacle courses, shooting games, and candy cane free throws.
Ugly Sweater Open Gym: Yes, it’s ridiculous. And yes, you better be able to drop 10 points in a snowman cardigan.
Trick Shot Showdown: Winner gets a prize. Loser gets pushups. Classic holiday cheer.

Who Should Be Here (Spoiler: Everyone)

We don’t care if your kid is:

The top scorer on their team
Still figuring out how not to dribble off their foot
Somewhere in between but serious about improving

If they want to get better—we want to help.

We group players by age and skill level so they’re challenged, not overwhelmed. And if your kid walks in acting like they know it all? We’ve got drills to humble them gently. (And then build them up stronger.)

Parents, This Is Your Holiday Miracle

Look—we know winter break is exhausting. You’ve done the gifts, the cooking, the Pinterest crafts that were supposed to be fun but turned into therapy sessions.

Let us take it from here.

You get a break
Your kid gets real training
And everyone goes into the new year with less tension and more jump shots

It’s honestly the best kind of win-win: your athlete improves, and you don’t have to spend the entire break hearing a basketball bounce off the dining room wall.

Final Pep Talk (With a Side of Reality)

New Year’s Resolutions are cute. But actual progress starts in December.
You want to make the team in the spring?
You want more minutes next season?
You want to not freeze up every time the ball swings to your side of the court?

Train now.
Work now.
Unwrap a better jump shot, stronger game, and more confidence this winter.

We’ll bring the heat—you just bring your sneakers.
Let’s go. 🏀🎁
