Each skills and drills session is 60 minutes. This workout focuses on fundamentals of the game of basketball, including footwork, ball handling skills, shooting form, offensive attack, strength and conditioning. Workouts will vary from week to week, but the focus of improving the form and skill of each player is always the top priority. This workout is adjusted to fit all ages and skill levels. Players will work out on each court with our instructors for increments of time. They will get to work with our instructor throughout the evening and focus on specific skill work depending on the focus of the night. All participants are required to bring their own basketball to each session. Please contact the Recreation Department if you need assistance with providing a basketball.
