Presents:



Above
the Rim Basketball Skills Camp 2010



 



The camp: “Above
the Rim” skills camps are intended for
young basketball players who are dedicated and serious about bringing
their
game to the next level. Our sessions will teach the camper what we call
“micro
fundamentals.” These critical often overlooked parts of skill
development will
be improved through technical drills that will improve: ball handling,
shooting, passing, rebounding, and defense. Campers will be put into
groups
according to ability, size, and skill level. The goal is for every
camper to leave
the camp with a better understanding of how to practice, and what to
practice
to see rapid growth in individual skills in a team environment.  Each camper will receive their own Individual
Development Program and will set goals for themselves for the upcoming
year. Come take the challenge!



“Mistakes
at game speed are the path to improvement. If you
don’t push yourself to the level of mistakes, then improvement will be
painfully slow.”
