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.
