Basketball Fun: Fundamentals for Beginners

This will be a 4 week course that will break down the basic skills of basketball. The students will get the opportunity to focus on the foundational skills of basketball. This is how I started as a young learner and was able to play NCAA and professionally.
The class will begin with a warm up led by myself as I give positive feedback and encouragement. Each exercise will be demonstrated by myself with a true breakdown and description. 

NOTE
This class is always changing and is never the same from section to section so it’s great to take the course multiple times if student feels it’s beneficial. You will learn something new every time!! 


Class structure for Athletes:
