Level Up Your Players

Without Adding to Your Workload

1. Add Your Players

2. Players Train indepentently

3. Track Their Progress

Stages is designed for high school and middle school coaches who want to quickly level-up their player's skills and give their team a competitive edge.

Traveling the world and consulting coaches from professional to youth levels uncovered one common truth:

winning is directly correlated to players’ skill levels…

…But coaches NEVER have enough time to focus here.

Until Now

Stages can guarantee measurable skill development for every player every year…

…and doesn’t require any extra time from you.

Rick Torbett’s Stages System is unmatched. Over ten years and three visits to Maine, he’s consistently elevated players’ skills and basketball IQ at both high school and college levels by meeting them where they are and helping them progress.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS

Stages identifies the skill level of every player on the team, meets them where they are with drills and tests to advance them, and provides you with intel on players’ stages and advancement…

…and it works for you all year long—in or out of season. 

Stage Appropriate Training

Every player trains at their stage of development to maximize their fullest potential. And every stage introduces new skills and tests.

Skills-Based Tests

Players advance by proving skill mastery through skill-based tests. And the coaching staff is notified as soon as a test is complete.

Practice

When players reach a test they can’t pass, they’re given details on exactly what to work on before they can move forward.  

Coaches Manage The Team & Stay Connected

The Stages team management system allows coaches to track where each player is in their development, similar to an online class environment.

HAVE QUESTIONS? HERE'S WHAT FELLOW COACHES HAVE ASKED BEFORE JOINING...

A program includes all of the basketball teams in your school or club. For example, if you’re the Varsity Girls Coach your subscription would cover both girls and boys Varsity, JV and Freshman teams at your high school. Or, if you run a club with multiple boys and girls teams, your subscription would cover every player in that club. 

Yes, you can. You can have players jump around from lesson to lesson or stage to stage as you see fit. 

For example, if you’d like your player to focus on shooting you can have them advance stage by stage only completing the shooting lessons.

However, if you’d like to ensure you’re developing the total player, I suggest you take it stage by stage.

Let me explain… 

Stages was carefully crafted to identify a player’s strengths and weaknesses at every level. It’s designed to build a complete foundation that will support players throughout their journey. Terminology and skills are taught in the beginning levels that are compounded on later in the journey. Making the beginning stages foundational to the entire program. 

In addition, to get parents, players, and coaches all on the same page, every player needs a level playing field and needs to begin at the same stage.

Stages requires minimal equipment. Players will need access to two basketballs, a hoop, and markers (cones, cups, or whatever is on hand).

The majority of the stages can be completed individually. However, parents, friends, or coaches can step in to pass, rebound, or record videos. As players advance to elevated levels they’ll need up to three participants to complete drills.

Every product we offer comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. This allows you to take Stages for a test drive for 30 days and if for some reason its not a good fit, let us know within 30 days of purchasing and we’ll refund your purchase. No questions asked.

PLAYER ON YOUR TEAM!
