As part of the Catholic Youth Organization of Brooklyn and Queens RETURN TO PLAY SAFELY AND SMARTLY, we proudly present the CYO BASKETBALL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT TRAINING PROGRAM!
In partnership with the Sirakis Training Program, the CYO is offering this great opportunity for our basketball athletes to return to basketball activities safely in small group training sessions. This program will consist of 10 training sessions at an affordable cost. The training sessions will begin on outdoor basketball courts in Queens and Brooklyn in September. With the expected delay to the Indoor CYO Fall/Winter Season, these trainings will provide the perfect opportunity for our children to remain active and improve their individual basketball skills.
Coaches and Program Trainers, Dimitri Sirakis, Evan Sirakis and Joe DiBenedetto are looking forward to working with everyone. With their high energy, they plan on incorporating many different drills to enhance each player's skill set which will make them more prepared for team play. This will allow each player to gain confidence in their own individual game and skills. The coaches will focus on the following
Ball Handling and control
Shooting
Finishing
Passing
Strength and Conditioning
Defense
Footwork and coordination
Plus much more!!

I've been sending my child to Sirakis Training for 3 years. I was impressed with both Dimitri and Evan from day 1. Their passion, dedication and skills are impressive. They don't lay back or give generic instructions. They teach by example by putting in the work along with the players each and every time. They instill confidence in each player and work on developing practical skills which can be used in game situations. She really enjoys working with Dimitri and Evan as they help her get to that next level.

Sirakis Training is a literal game changer. Coach Dimitri and Coach Evan bring a mix of energy, focus, discipline, instruction, and fun to their training sessions.
The skills development is exceptional. Their attention to detail and passion for the game can be exhibited in every session, whether it’s team training, small group, or one on one.
But the lessons don’t end there. Sirakis Training will have your child “Strive for More”...by having them believe in their own abilities to be the best player and teammate they can be.
My daughter Gabriela (St. Stan’s Class of 2020 / SJP Class of 2024) has made tremendous strides with Sirakis Training snd continues to get better.
Both the parents and the kids will definitely be pleased with the outcome!

My daughter has been training with the Sirakis Brothers for almost two years now. The improvement in both her game and confidence are obvious. While the brothers specialize in enhancing individual skills, everything is based on fundamentals, hard work, and a positive attitude.
My husband coaches CYO and AAU basketball, and we both have recommended them to many families and friends for training. All have had the same positive experience that we have.
I highly recommend Sirakis training to anyone whose children are interested in playing basketball and serious about improving their game. I’d be happy to provide any additional information that you may need, so please feel free to reach me by telephone or email at any time.

As I started working out for Sirakis training they focused on a different aspect of the game every time we met up. They bring tremendous energy and overall they've helped me develop new skills and improve my game
|
Coach Joe is one of the best coaches I ever had. He came to each practice with the same amount of energy and intensity as the players, probably even more. When I had a weakness in something he would notice it quickly and tell me exactly what I needed to fix and how to get better at it. COach Joe would come to practice early to help me out. He Helped me improve as a person both on and off the court!
|
I have to say that Dimitri and Evan are truly amazing trainers. I have seen their training grow so quickly because of their dedication and admiration towards basketball. They are well organized in their schedules and go above and beyond in providing additional resources to make sure your child benefits fully from the training. Not only do they teach the fundamentals, they teach the main workouts and mentality needed to really succeed in basketball. I always see the progress in my daughter and am very grateful to have wonderful guys like Dimitri and Evan to be a part of my daughter's goals and future.
