SEPAR8 Training

Sam Freeburn & Casey Caruso

About SEPAR8:

Separ8 Training was founded with a simple mission: to provide high-quality basketball training that is affordable and focused on genuine player development. Too often, training can become more about making money than helping athletes improve. At Separ8, the priority is seeing real growth in every athlete who steps into the gym.

The name “Separ8” represents separating yourself from the competition through hard work, consistency, discipline, and accountability. We offer both individual and group training sessions that focus on ball handling, shooting, finishing, strength and conditioning, plyometrics, basketball IQ, leadership, and overall athletic development

Over the years I’ve coached and trained over 30 players who went onto play college basketball. As a coach, I’ve coached a variety of ages and levels, from 6th grade travel ball to 17u showcase AAU. Currently, I’m the 15u HGAL coach for Next Play AAU and a Varsity Assistant at Springside Chestnut Hill.
