Houston, TX . Training Nationwide
Rickey Huckaby founded StringTeam Basketball Training Academy in 2013 to develop players from grade school through the professional level. His work focuses on the pieces that actually show up in games: ball handling, shooting, footwork, conditioning, basketball IQ, scoring confidence, and film-based decision making.
His resume includes assistant coach and player development work with the Guangzhou LongLions in the Chinese Basketball Association, where he helped build development programs, prepare tactical plans with the coaching staff, lead individual technical training, and support recovery training for injured players.
Before coaching full time, Rickey played professionally overseas and built a career around understanding what separates a workout from true development.
Rickey's background combines professional playing experience, certified coaching, film breakdown, player relationships, and hands-on work with elite athletes.
Assistant coach and player development coach in the CBA, helping with development programs, tactical prep, technical training, recovery work, and team improvement.
Individual player development for grade school, high school, college scholarship, college, and professional players, with custom plans tied to real game growth.

Thank you for helping me unlock things that I know I could do in training, but never really was able to do it on the professional basketball court.

A repeatable system. Every player runs the same loop. We assess, build, pressure-test, and repeat.
Every player starts with an honest evaluation. Skill, IQ, physical tools, and film. We do not guess. We do not flatter. We tell you exactly what your game is and is not.
Individualized work. Specific drills tied to specific gaps. Skill blocks layered with film breakdown so every rep has a reason.
The bag does not matter if it falls apart under fatigue or contact. We pressure-test every move through live work, conditioning, and competitive reps until it holds up in the game.
StringTeam is for hoopers who are serious about the game. Lock in a session and find out where your work begins.
