Fall Fundamental Skills Clinic

"A winner is someone who recognizes their God-given talents, works their tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish their goals." ~ Larry Bird

Fall Fundamental Skills Clinics Philosophy:

These five week intensive clinics are designed to further individual player development by stressing fundamentals through drill work and provide a training ground, for girls to improve their skill level and conceptual basketball knowledge. For the younger girls, a core foundation will be provided to help them have success and fun with basketball as they grow with the sport. For older/high school girls, the clinic will seek to improve their overall fundamentals as well as to prepare them to compete at the highest chosen level.

We will strive to master critical technical fundamental areas, become more adept skill-wise offensively as well as defensively, apply fundamentals in playing situations and enhance each player’s overall basketball IQ. Our staff includes former college coaches, high school coaches and former college players which will result in a teaching environment that is extremely conducive for learning.

Limited space is available, at each of these sessions, on a first come first serve basis. Please see below the session features; they are designed to raise your game to the next level...
