2025 Summer Skill Sessions

Skills sessions for athletes who are interested in developing their basketball skills to a higher level. Sessions will be be broken into general skills development, situational awareness/skills, and small sided games. Each session will have a different point of emphasis - the skills we work on each evening will build into our situational skills and small sided games that night.

Please make sure that your child is registered for a session aligned with there current skill level.

Sessions labeled "DEVELOPMENT" are for athletes who are not currently playing for a competitive team and may be experimenting with basketball for the first time.
