Season 20 • Built Not Born • Developing the Next Generation

 

Welcome to the training home of Northwest Magic Basketball — where players are built, confidence is shaped, and skill development meets purpose.

For 20 seasons, NW Magic has been the region’s premier destination for elite-level training, holistic player development, and a family-centered culture that helps young athletes thrive on and off the court.

Whether your athlete is brand-new to basketball, preparing for middle school or high school competition, or pushing toward national exposure — our training academy provides a path for every player.

This is where the journey begins.

This is where the work happens.

This is Northwest Magic Training.

 


WHY TRAIN WITH NORTHWEST MAGIC?

The Magic Difference — 20 Seasons Strong

 

NW Magic training is built on three pillars:

 

 1- Skill Development That Translates to Game Play

 

We focus on skills that matter:

 

  • Footwork + fundamental positioning
  • Ball-handling and pace
  • Shooting mechanics
  • Game reads & decision making
  • Finishing packages
  • Positional breakdowns (guards/wings/posts)

 

 

2- Coaches Who Develop Players With Purpose

 

Our training staff combines experience, high-level knowledge, and the heart of teachers and leaders. Players receive intentional, detailed instruction from:

 

 Coach Vanessa (Coach V)

Founder • Program Director • Player Development Lead

20 seasons of building Magic athletes from the ground up.

Specialties: offensive flow, scoring footwork, confidence building, leadership growth, and preparing players mentally & emotionally for the next level.

Coach V sets the tone, the culture, and the standard — and invests deeply into every player who walks into the gym.

 

 Coach Ace

Attack moves, shot creation, pace changes, and advanced scoring mechanics.

 

 Coach Strozier

Post/guard synergy, finishing through contact, physicality, and footwork.

 

 Coach Gena

Defensive mastery — angles, positioning, discipline, and footwork.

 

 Coach Parris

Mindset, grit, leadership, resilience, and mental toughness.

Your child will be coached by trainers who teach the whole athlete, not just the game.

 


 

3- A Culture That Builds Confidence

 

Our environment is built on:

 

  • Energy
  • Accountability
  • Respect
  • Hard work
  • Family

Players leave each session feeling better, stronger, and more capable.

Season 20 is about elevating every player — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

 


WHO IS TRAINING FOR?

Magic training is open to:

 

  • Beginners
  • Intermediate players
  • Club/school athletes
  • Advanced elite players
  • Magic + Non-Magic players (ages 4th grade–high school)

There’s a training lane for every level.
