  Playing on lowered rings, the focus is FUN!

• AND1 Camp – Domestic level skills clinic aimed at improving a player’s fundamentals. A variety of games, drills and skill-testing activities designed to provide a fun and enriching basketball experience.
  Have FUN and work HARD!

   

Return to Rep Camp – a high-intensity, skills-focused environment perfect for players to polish their skills before representative basketball resumes in late January encompassing individual skills development and team concepts. Breaking into smaller groups, players focussed on:

• Advanced ball handling
• Passing
• Shooting
• Decision Making
• Scrimmaging in game-like situations
• Offensive & Defensive concepts
• Under 12 to Under 16

Food, drinks and clothing – All players are asked to bring a basketball, wear appropriate clothing and footwear for basketball activities, and bring a water bottle and a packed lunch/snack (where appropriate e.g. day long clinics). Most programs operate from Boroondara Sports Complex – this venue is managed by YMCA and has a cafeteria with food & drink options.
