6-Week “Get Ready for Tryouts” Clinic

Trying out for a School Team can be a daunting challenge if your child does not know what to expect. Performance Basketball Clinic’s “Get Ready for Basketball Tryouts” will prepare your child for the rigors of competitive tryouts and get them ready for this challenge.

This 6-Week Clinic is open to boys and girls ages 12 to 18 years old. Players will be grouped according to age and skill level. This Clinic is designed for players who want to achieve one or more of the following objectives:

• They will be in a competitive tryout situation for a Team this coming season and want to be prepared for this challenge.
• They want to continue to improve their fundamental skill base and apply these skills in more game like situations.
• They want to enhance their understanding of offensive and defensive concepts in full court, game like situations.

Coach Mello and his staff will get your child ready for the offensive and defensive skills they can expect to perform during tryouts. He familiarizes them with the drills they will likely be evaluated on by their coaches when trying out for the Team. Your child will try out for the Team prepared, more confident and in a better position to realize their goal of making the Team.

The features of this Clinic include:

• Offensive & Defensive Transition (Fast Break Situations) - Basketball is a game played at a fast pace. The players who can excel in the open court have a competitive advantage over their opponents. We devote a portion of each session to help players improve their transition skills on both the offensive and defensive ends of the floor. We use a number of challenging and fun transition drills such as 3 on 2, 2 on 1 and 5-man progression to accomplish this objective.

• Man-to-Man Defensive Principles - Once a player enters middle school they will likely be playing man-to-man defense the majority of the time. Youth league teams run primarily zone defenses with limited teaching of the principles of man defense. If players do not understand the principles of man defense as they move to middle & high school, the concepts can seem overwhelming. We teach them man-to-man defense with an effective, easy to understand approach. The end result is that your child will be a more confident and productive player on the defensive end of the floor.

• Scrimmages - Coaches will offer instruction, correction and encouragement to the players in 3 on 3, 4 on 4 and 5 on 5 scrimmages. We want to insure that the player is able to apply the skills and concepts they are learning in a variety of game like situations.
