TWU ELITE
The Warm Up
About TWU

More than a travel team.

Our story

The Warm Up

The Warm Up started in Cumming, Georgia with a simple idea: the work that decides a player's ceiling happens long before tip-off, in gyms nobody is watching. The name is the standard. What most programs treat as preparation, we treat as the point.

TWU Elite and Lady TWU run as one program with one standard. We compete on the New Balance E32 circuit, we document development with film and data rather than claims, and we build players who are ready for the level above whichever one they are on.

Development philosophy

European structure. American competitiveness.

European development builds readers of the game. American development builds competitors. We refuse to choose between them.

Spacing and reads

Players learn to see the floor before they learn to score on it. Every possession has a shape.

Weak-side awareness

The best play is often away from the ball. We coach what happens off the catch.

Decision making

Speed of thought over speed of foot. The right read, made early, beats the athletic one made late.

Competitive skill

Skills get built under pressure, against a defender, with something on the line. Not in a line.
