Hoop Mountain Fall Fundamental Skills Clinics

"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 weekly 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.
