may’s evolution phase.
inspired by the most disciplined dynasty in nba history.
· 8 sessions · 15 homework drills · 4 awards · ages 7–14
winning is a habit.
not a camp. not a workout series. an evolution phase — built on the standard the 1991-93 chicago bulls set when they won three straight championships with the same three principles we’re teaching this month.
the three pillars that built a dynasty.
3-peat training is may’s evolution phase at atlas basketball academy — built around the most underrated dynasty era in nba history. while the rest of the basketball world chases threes, the modern game is being decided in the spaces the bulls owned: the mid-range, the pivot, and the pass that finds the open man.
your athlete isn’t here to copy highlights. they’re here to build the standard. every monday and wednesday in may, our coaches break down the footwork, shooting mechanics,
and team-first reads that turned five players into three straight champions —
then teach your athlete to apply them at their level.
no shortcuts. no fluff. real reps.
this phase follows the standard aba lab structure — rookie lab (ages 7–9) with coach adrian and rotation lab (ages 10–14) with coach jaire. block training builds the foundation. constraint-led drills force decision-making. weekly competitions hold athletes accountable. daily 15-minute homework drills keep the work going at home, with parents stepping onto the court alongside their athlete six times across the month.
at the end of may, every athlete who completes the phase earns the 3-peat completion certificate.
one earns the 3-peat mvp.
all of them leave with the only thing that actually matters:
habits that show up in games.
three pillars.
each pillar gets dedicated weeks of focused instruction. by week four, athletes integrate all three under live constraints. the dynasty playbook, adapted for ages 7–14.
mid-range mastery.
the shot they forgot. the shot that wins. shot pocket, balance, base, and one-motion release — taught at age-appropriate distances for both rookie and rotation labs.
footwork foundations.
your feet are your foundation. jump stops, forward and reverse pivots, jab steps, drop steps, and the side-step pull-up. nothing works without them.
teamwork & reads.
three players. one shot. zero ego. spacing, cutting, give-and-go, and 3-on-3 reads. the best shot isn’t always yours — it’s the open one.
the full progression.
weeks 1–3 each isolate one pillar with focused block training and
constraint-led drills.
week 4 integrates all three into live 3-on-3
and championship game day.
like mike
“the shot they forgot. the shot that wins.”
we start where the bulls dynasty lived: from 12 to 17 feet. athletes learn the shot pocket, balance, base, and one-motion release that made jordan automatic from his sweet spots. rookie lab works at 8–10 ft. rotation lab extends to elbows and wings.
pivot point
“your feet are your foundation. nothing works without them.”
phil jackson didn’t run the triangle without ball-side spacing — and the bulls didn’t create that spacing without elite footwork. this week is all jab steps, jump stops, drop steps, and pivots into mid-range pull-ups.
triangle tradition
“three players. one shot. zero ego.”
the most disciplined team offense in nba history was built on three principles: spacing, ball movement, and reads. athletes learn to play without the ball, fill open spots, and pass to score — not pass to get rid of it.
the 3-peat
“winning once is luck. winning three times is a standard.”
everything from the previous three weeks goes live. monday is full integration — mid-range shooting off footwork off teamwork. wednesday is championship game day: live 3-on-3, badge ceremony, mvp award, and family open gym.
