SweetMovesTM is a multi-week program offered by LoneStar Basketball Academy for athletes with advanced ballhandling skills.  It provides an opportunity for players to experiment with and attempt to master some of the more challenging and difficult off-the-dribble moves being used today.  Most of these moves are taken from veteran Five-Star Coach Bernie Holowicki's Inner City Moves I and II video series.  These are not AND1 moves that often violate game rules.   In most cases, they are trademark moves of some of the top pro players of the game, such as, Steve Smith, Isaiah Thomas, Travis Best, Kobe Bryant, and Allen Iverson.

The SweetMovesTM Training program is intended to challenge and excite players wishing to go beyond the fundamentals.  It is meant to be fun, yet rewarding in terms of instilling confidence and further developing coordination and ballhandling dexterity.  In addition, video replay and the Dartfish training software will be used to facilitate learning and development.  As the athlete begins to master these moves, he/she will be encouraged to contribute their own move (either their own creation or one not already part of the LBA collection).  If it is good enough, in composition and execution, a video clip of the move may be posted on the LoneStar Basketball Academy website as part of the LBA collection.
