Shoot 360 is a leader in basketball innovation and skill development, providing athletes of all skill levels with immersive and data-driven training. The software is used by the Nets and every other NBA team, as well as over 100 college programs. It tracks and measures skill development across ball-handling, passing and shooting to give athletes instant performance feedback.
“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 Liberty forward 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.”
Brooklyn’s new training Center will be operated by BSE Global’s flagship youth basketball program, Brooklyn Basketball.
