During this 2-hour workout, we will take your son through our basketball workout that we feel can be beneficial to improving their game. The parent that attends will be assisting their child as well as participating so come dressed ready to play. Our hope is that by participating in this workout your son will be able to find a gym or a driveway and practice these skills to make him a better basketball player. This will also allow each parent a chance to be able to work with their child at improving their game as well. We will also plan on having a guest speaker as part of this clinic.
