Philosophy for all our clinics is to teach youth fundamental basketballs skills & values in an excellent facility with a positive environment created by the coaches. 

Goals of our Clinics:

Teach fundamentals through REPETITION to develop great habits.

Teach sportsmanship - Respect coaches, teammates, opponents & staff and act in a positive manner.

Build Character - Positive attitude (body language too!) on/off court, honesty, responsibility for actions.

Build players confidence, self-esteem and motivate them.  Create an environment where players feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. 

Teach Teamwork – The understanding that basketball is a team sport and the importance of learning to work well with others.  Unselfish, caring, rooting for others success, etc.

Teach effort & work ethic - “Hard Work”.

To have all players highly active throughout the clinic (avoid lines!).

Teach basketball vocabulary & terminology.

We want to teach and encourage players (at the appropriate age) how to compete, which is more important than winning/losing at this age.  Important for them to know it is ok to fail & make a mistake, in order to grow.

Improve Conditioning/Be Fit.

Importance of stressing priorities - Faith, Family, Academics and then basketball.

Social aspect/fun.
