Team Blue Wave's philosophy embodies a holistic approach to basketball training, focusing intensely on fundamental skills and conditioning for both boys and girls across all age groups. With a keen eye on preparing athletes for the rigors of CYO, AAU, and high school basketball, our training regimen is designed to maximize each child's potential on the court.
We believe that true basketball proficiency extends beyond mere gym workouts. It encompasses a synthesis of physical prowess, mental acuity, and strategic understanding. Therefore, alongside traditional basketball drills, we incorporate exercises and techniques from various sports to enhance overall athleticism and adaptability.
In the dynamic realm of basketball, success hinges not only on technical proficiency but also on the ability to react swiftly and strategically. Our training instills in athletes the crucial elements of muscle memory, opponent analysis, and split-second decision-making, empowering them to leverage their strengths and exploit their opponents' weaknesses.
At Team Blue Wave, our commitment to your child's development is unwavering. Whether your child aspires to be a dedicated basketball player or simply seeks to refine their skills, we pledge to provide 100% dedication and support. As a coach, educator, and father, Coach Fausto Arias is deeply invested in helping every child realize their basketball dreams, from beginners to seasoned high school seniors striving for the next level.
Join us for comprehensive basketball training led by Coach Fausto Arias, an experienced coach with a background in CYO St. Gertrude’s and AAU Long Island Rough Ryderz basketball. Our program encompasses offensive and defensive strategies, shooting techniques, off-ball movement, team defense, ball handling skills, and muscle memory development. Through a diverse range of training methods, including cross-training, football, and boxing exercises, we aim to cultivate not just basketball skills but also strength, stamina, and hand-eye coordination, empowering each athlete to unleash their full potential on the basketball court.
“Coach Fausto offers great training sessions that helps to improve players across all different levels of experience and expertise. He focuses on player development with emphasis on conditioning athletes through various drills, technique and strength agility training.

Coach Fausto is a passionate, dedicated and talented basketball coach. Above all, he is a has been an incredible mentor for my sons and their teammates. He dedicates his personal time to provide training & instruction to give the kids the proper tools they need to reach their fullest potential. His training methods expand on basketballs drills, offering speed & agility, and injury prevention exercises. My boys have improved their basketball game significantly as a result, but I’ve also seen his training improve their confidence, leadership skills, speed and reaction time in all sports as well! I look forward to continuing to have my boys train with Coach Fausto and witness their growth in the years to come.

Our daughter Ava is in 8th grade and has always loved basketball. She has been playing with her CYO team for her grade for years. She’s a shy girl who doesn’t always like to be out of her comfort zone. A friend of ours let us know about Coach Fausto’s training in August. After Ava having a broken ankle that sidelined her for her entire lacrosse season this spring, we thought we would give these sessions a try to ease her back into training for her upcoming flag football, basketball and lacrosse seasons and further develop her basketball skills. To say we have been amazed and impressed is an understatement! From the first day of her training with Coach Fausto, he has encouraged her and taken her love of basketball to a new level. His training has been so instrumental in her gaining back the strength, endurance and confidence she lost with her broken ankle. We cannot say enough positive things about Coach Fausto! We are so grateful for his training and dedication to improving young athletes.

We are thrilled a new season of basketball training is here again! Our 11 year old daughter trained last spring and summer with Coach Fausto. She had countless takeaways from training with him and she had the best experience. Our daughter, who loves basketball and the game, has developed an even stronger skill set thanks to Coach Fausto’s training. His training sessions are focused and balanced where young athletes work on developing the many skills needed, such as: strength, speed, dribbling, shooting, passing, etc. His energy level, knowledge, and love for the game is present at every training session. Our daughter loved each session and looked forward to each time working with him.We share the same mindset as him that grit gives people of all ages a mental toughness that allow them to persist — and succeed. We think this is so important for our daughter to encompass on and off the court. We truly enjoyed watching her improve each time and we’re excited to see her continue her journey with Coach Fausto. We are also looking forward to having our youngest twins sign up this spring to start their training too!
The kids are all excited and ready to get to work!
