Calling all rising 5th to rising 10th graders!
Building off last year’s exciting start, we’re happy to be holding the second, annual Heights Basketball Development Program. This program was created to develop the future basketball players of The Heights. The goal of the program is to teach each player how to successfully execute all the fundamental areas of the game. All skill levels are welcome, but there will be a certain level of intensity and intentionality meant to instill the discipline and culture that the program is looking to build. That being said, we highly encourage anyone who loves the game to join us and become a better player. The camp will be primarily scenario-based (running an offense against a zone, team rebounding, and so on) rather than skill or drill-based. The campers will also be given the tools necessary to have a successful offseason (the time when individual skills should be developed) with specific workouts and journaling. Coach Kilmer and Coach Olszewski are very excited about the program and hope to share their love and knowledge of the game with all our basketball enthusiasts. We are asking for three intentional days of development before the long 4th of July weekend. What better way could you spend this “half” week than becoming a better basketball player!
