Game-Time Skills is not a training company. We are a basketball development organization built on structured, measurable, long-term player development — with a clear plan for every athlete we work with.
Elite instruction. Purposeful development. Game-Time results.
Our Philosophy
Most programs sell workouts — an hour of activity with no connection to the hour before it or the season ahead. That is not how players actually improve.
Game-Time Skills builds a development system around each athlete: an honest evaluation, defined priorities, a written plan, and consistent measurement over months and years — not sessions.
Families don't buy sessions.They enroll in development.
Every Program Develops
Core Programs
Each program runs on the Game-Time Skills curriculum. Choose the setting that fits the athlete — the standard never changes.
1-on-1
Individual development built entirely around one athlete's plan and priorities.
3–6 Players
Structured group curriculum with competitive reps and real defensive pressure.
Programs & Teams
Full-team development for high school, AAU, middle school, and youth organizations.
Seasonal
Multi-week academies that build across a full season instead of a single session.
By Position
Role-specific development for the skills each position is actually asked to perform.
Signature Curriculum
A complete shooting system — not a drill list. Built from the ground up and finished at game speed.
The Difference Maker
The part of development almost no one teaches — and the part that separates players.
6-Week Session
A six-week intensive built on the shooting curriculum — mechanics rebuilt from the ground up and finished at game speed.
Investment
Transparent pricing across every program. Where a range is listed, the tier is matched to the athlete's development plan at consultation.
View PricingInvestment
Published rates, no packages to decode. Every athlete starts with an evaluation so the program matches the plan — not the other way around.
Where a range is listed, the tier is set during the initial evaluation based on training frequency and the athlete's development plan. Team and organizational programs can be scheduled as multi-session blocks.
Request an EvaluationSignature Service
For families who want more than a trainer — a comprehensive basketball development roadmap for their athlete.
Game Plan Consulting is a structured engagement that produces a written development roadmap: an honest evaluation of the athlete, a defined set of priorities, and a plan the family can actually follow.
We don't sell workouts.
We build players.
Leadership
Elite instruction is the standard at Game-Time Skills — and it is delivered by people who have competed and coached at the highest levels of the game.
Katie Smrcka-Duffy Fudd
Founder & Director of Player Development
Katie Smrcka-Duffy Fudd is one of the most accomplished basketball players and development coaches to come out of the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. With decades of experience as an elite player, coach, and mentor, she has dedicated her career to developing basketball players both on and off the court.
A native of Northern Virginia, Katie starred at James Madison High School in Vienna, where she scored 2,463 career points — one of the highest totals in Virginia high school basketball history. She earned High School All-American honors and established herself as one of the nation's premier guards.
She began her collegiate career at North Carolina State University, where she made an immediate impact by earning ACC Rookie of the Year honors as a freshman. She later transferred to Georgetown University, where she became one of the program's all-time greats, surpassing 2,000 career collegiate points between the two schools and earning three consecutive All-Big East selections.
Following her collegiate career, Katie was selected in the 2001 WNBA Draft by the Sacramento Monarchs. Although injuries prevented her from playing professionally in the league, her passion for teaching and developing players only grew stronger.
Over the past two decades, Katie has become one of the region's most respected basketball instructors. She has coached at both the high school and youth levels, including serving as the head girls' varsity basketball coach at The Potomac School, where she built a reputation for developing fundamentally sound players and mentoring young women beyond basketball.
Her coaching philosophy centers on skill development, basketball IQ, discipline, confidence, and character. Known for her attention to detail and technical expertise, she has helped develop athletes ranging from beginners to Division I prospects and professional players.
Katie's influence extends beyond the players she coaches directly. As the mother of WNBA standout and former UConn All-American Azzi Fudd, she has been widely recognized for helping develop one of the purest shooting forms in basketball. Her meticulous teaching of shooting mechanics and fundamentals has been featured in national publications and is considered a model for player development.
Today, Katie continues to dedicate her career to helping athletes maximize their potential through structured player development, combining elite playing experience with decades of coaching expertise to prepare players for success at every level of the game.
Skill. IQ. Discipline.Confidence. Character.
Long-Term Vision
Game-Time Skills is built to scale beyond a single floor — into a national and eventually international basketball development organization.
