At The PAC, in partnership with Youth Stars and the Future’s program, our mission is to develop boys and girls both on and off the court. Our team of professionally certified trainers, teachers, and coaches focus not just on helping young athletes to realize their athletic aspirations through physical training and skill-building, but also through emotional, social, and mental growth. The PAC team places a high value on creating a fun, motivating, and safe atmosphere that instills a sense of self-esteem and commitment to community service in each member, and our training programs provide emerging athletes with sound fundamentals, an appreciation of sport and competition, and training that can help to prevent athletic injuries. At The PAC, we believe athletics, when taught properly, provide valuable life skills and serve as the gateway to success in all aspects of our lives.
Our commitment is evident through our investment in our student-athletes, and this starts with a state-of-the-art facility that nurtures physical and mental health. Our high-end courts utilize the same premium materials as the floors of The Portland Trailblazers Moda Center, Oregon Ducks Matthew Knight Arena, and OSU’s Ralph Miller Court. Oregon’s state-of-the-art basketball training facility located in our beautiful capitol, Salem, OR. Our facility is over 12,000 sq ft, includes 6 Dr. Dish CT shooting machines, 6 skills stations with over 100 skills/footwork workout, and a high-performance agility/conditioning/weight training area including vertimax and athlete progression tracking. The most advanced premium flooring system featuring dual dampening vibration control and athletic response technology for the ultimate combination of multi-athlete resilience & comfort. Along with athletic progress, we are heavily focused on long-term injury prevention and care.
Private and small group skills, dribbling, footwork, and shooting stations are available for safety and health precautions during COVID-19. The facility offers 6 high-end Dr. Dish CT shooting stations with stat tracking, shot counters, 150+ programmed workouts from D1 coaches, and trainers. An innovative recording system for coaches, teams, and players, live streaming for parents and spectators, a DJ sound system, player portal, mobile app with nutrition and performance tracking, touchless check-in, online scheduling, and a security system are some of the advanced features provided. The PAC focuses on attitude, confidence, leadership, IQ, character, performance, strength, speed, balance, endurance, footwork, ball-handling, shooting, passing, competition, proper eating, supplementation, rest, sleep, prevention, and burnout monitoring to offer a comprehensive and personalized program for basketball-focused athletes.
