Who is Reps Up?
Since 2019, Reps Up has been at the forefront of basketball development in South East Houston, founded by Burrick McGrew and Kareem Jernigan to meet the need for quality player development. We are more than a training facility; we are a community dedicated to turning ambitious athletes into well-rounded individuals. Our mission is simple: to help every player become the best version of themselves, on and off the court. Join us to elevate your player's game.
What Makes Reps Up Different?
Small Classes for Big Impact: Our classes are intentionally small, ensuring players get ample reps and personalized attention. This focus on detail and avoiding crowded settings accelerates development.
Beyond Practice Players: Recognizing that great practice doesn't always translate to great gameplay, our program emphasizes in-game skills like decision-making and movement, ensuring skills are game-ready.
Learning Through Play: We incorporate small-sided games to simulate real-game situations, allowing players to apply and refine their skills in a practical context.
Shooting is a Superpower: With four Dr. Dish Shooting Machines, we prioritize shooting principles, offering players the reps needed to build consistency and confidence as shooters.
Consistency is Key: We support consistent improvement by providing the opportunity for players to train up to 6 days a week, fostering reliability and skill mastery.
