Nike Basketball Fall Clinic Durango High School Las Vegas, Nevada
US Sports Camps is thrilled to welcome Durango High School to our camp family. We have partnered with DeShawn Henry of Durango High School and Alan Stein of Stronger Team to direct a one day clinic this fall at Durango High School in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Stronger Team offers the nation’s premier basketball specific training program for junior high, high school and college players. The Stronger Team program is designed to meet the specific needs of a basketball player for injury prevention (ankles, groin, and low back) and performance enhancement (run faster, jump higher, and block out harder). Basketball players are not Olympic lifters, bodybuilders, or track athletes…so they shouldn’t train like them! There is a huge difference between being fit and being in basketball shape. Stronger Team’s results speak for themselves.
Highlights Include
- Work with one of the premier basketball coaches and player development trainers in the country
- Learn new techniques and drills before the 2013-14 basketball season
- Develop new habits and a deeper understanding of the game
- Nike Basketball Camp T-Shirt
Durango High School's athletics program is known as the Trailblazers and compete in the Southwest Division of the Sunset 4A Region.

“I first saw Alan at the Nike clinic in Myrtle Beach (spring '06). I was immediately hooked. Beyond any doubt, I have never been more impressed by any speaker on any subject than I was with Alan Stein. In fact, Alan's presentation is the only workout program that I have been moved to purchase and incorporate. I appreciated his passion. It's impossible to watch Alan's presentation and not be moved by his energy and enthusiasm. My appreciation for him and his work is unparalleled.”
Kyle Turnham

“I highly recommend Alan Stein to speak at any basketball related coaching clinic or seminar. Alan constantly has new cutting edge ideas and drills for players and teams of all ages and levels. Alan spoke at our Iowa State Basketball Coaches Clinic last year and did a terrific job. Alan’s passion and enthusiasm are unmatched. His videos should be a must to own for all coaches and players who would like to take their game to the next level.”

Stephen Curry
“Alan Stein is a terrific strength and conditioning coach for two reasons: his attention to detail and getting the most out of every drill and exercise; and his passion for helping every player reach their potential. In just two weeks I felt stronger and more efficient because of the basketball specific workouts we do and the way Alan pushed and encouraged me every day.”
Tim McCormick
"Alan does an incredible job at the NBA Players Association's Top 100 Camp every year. He has the unique ability of teaching advanced basketball skill development and also being able to improve a player's athleticism. I am thankful he will continue to be a major part of our skill enhancement program in the future."
Edward & Kim Anderson
“As Justin’s father, my wife and I were delighted for our son to work with and be associated with Coach Stein while he was at Montrose. Alan's knowledge of strength & conditioning speaks volumes. Although he works with numerous players on a professional level, I am amazed with the individual time and attention he gives our son. I enjoyed numerous opportunities to watch him work Justin out and loved his passion to get players to be competitive and in great basketball condition. His preparation is remarkable.”
Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder)
“Coach Stein helped me gain nearly 20 pounds my senior year at Montrose. The added size and strength made me a better player on the court and helped me make the transition from high school to college. His program is outstanding.”
