Available for Boys & Girls Grades 3rd - 6th
Ball Handling and Shooting Academy sessions are skill-specific workouts for players that want to get high level, focused instruction in a certain area of their game. These workouts are filled with intense drills with limited breaks to maximize the amount of repetitions a player can get. A great choice for the serious developing player!
Spring sessions run from March to June
A step up from general basketball clinics, our Elite Training Academy sessions are designed for high level boys and girls to receive the same type of elite training that our high level high school and college players receive. Sessions are offered each season and players are able to choose from different skill-specific workouts such as shooting, ball handling, etc. While these are group sessions (limited space available), these are the easiest way to receive high level instruction outside of one on one sessions and are offered on a consistent basis.
Summer sessions occur in July
