Virtual Clinics with Coach Wiese - Series 2
 

Registration Closed  
 

These sessions are open to all EPGBA players grades 3-8 and will focus on ball handling, footwork, shot form, as well as speed and strength work.  Players will need a basketball, water bottle, a device with a camera so that Coach Wiese can watch and provide a little feedback as players move through the drills, and a little bit of space with an even, hard surface for ball handling.   For the Passing & Shot Form session, players should also have a wall (or partner) for passing and a hoop (or 10 ft target/wall/etc) for shooting. Advanced sessions also need a tennis ball.

With not much going on to begin the Summer, are you looking for something to keep your girls busy?  Let us get them outside and practicing those basketball skills with the EPGBA Summer Shooting-Dribbling Challenge!!! This summer program is designed to motivate and assist players in developing their ballhandling and shooting skills. The Challenge is open to both travel and in-house players and runs from June 1 to September 15.

You can register for the challenge by clicking here. Registration will be open throughout the summer.

After you register, download this Tracking Sheet which includes suggested 50, 100, 150 and 200-shot routines to help players work on a variety of shots and more easily track their sessions. Links to dribbling drills and routines are also provided.

Grade-level goals have been established for both MADE baskets and dribbling minutes and players will receive prizes and recognition for meeting their shooting goal, dribbling goal or both. For players who want an extra challenge this summer, special recognition and prizes will be given to those who achieve a stretch goal of 10,000 made shots and 1,000 dribbled minutes. For any questions, please reach out to:
