The Brooklyn Nets and New York Liberty won’t be the only ones in the area tapping cutting-edge technology to do basketball smarter, faster, and better for much longer.
This morning, Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment (BSE) announced that Brooklyn’s new youth training center, which is set to open up this fall, will feature Shoot 360 technology. The brand also offered a quick look at the design of the facility’s interior.
Shoot 360 uses advanced ball detection technology to measure and develop a participant’s basketball skills. The proprietary software tracks and analyzes skill development in ball handling, passing, and shooting before giving instant feedback on performance.
“When I was growing up, I did not have access to anything like this, and I can only imagine how much it would have changed my game,” said Breanna Stewart. “What Brooklyn Basketball is building with Shoot 360 is giving kids real tools to grow, build confidence, and have fun doing it. I love seeing this kind of investment in the next generation, right here in our Liberty community.”
The Shoot 360 shooting stations measure and store data on shot consistency and quality, looking at things like shot arc, shot depth, left/right alignment, shooting percentage, and other elements to improve accuracy. In the skill cages, virtual trainers guide participants through gamified training content which tests their handles and passing proficiency. Those results are also collected and accessible to users through the Shoot 360 mobile app, allowing them to track their progression.
“At Brooklyn Basketball, we’re truly excited to introduce Shoot 360 technology to the next generation of athletes,” said Marissa Shorenstein, Chief External Affairs Officer at BSE. “As the only youth facility in the tri-state area equipped with this cutting-edge tool, we’re proud to offer participants an unparalleled training experience, providing instant, data-driven feedback that accelerates skill development like never before. Shoot 360 will also empower our youngest athletes to reach new heights through measurable progress and personalized coaching.”
The Brooklyn Basketball Training Center will feature five shooting cages and three skill cages. All will be ready for when the facility opens in autumn.
“The Brooklyn Basketball Training Center will be a place where data meets dreams, and where every young athlete gets a personalized roadmap to their potential,” said Craig Moody, Founder of Shoot 360. “We’re proud to help shape the future of the game in one of basketball’s most iconic regions.”
Coaches also benefit from readouts produced by the platform, which allows them to look at intricacies of a participants game and pinpoint what might be causing them to continuously miss left, have a hitch in their shot, or anything else hindering their game. Dozens of interactive shooting drills and games of varying difficulties are made accessible to users as well through a touch screen, allowing them to compete against themselves or others in the Shoot 360 network.
It’s been reported that nearly every NBA team uses Shoot 360 technology. Ex-Net Thaddeus Young is one of the brand’s investors, as is Stewart.
Now, it’ll be shared by the games stars of today with those of tomorrow.
