Island Skills: Handling the Rock
Grades 5-8 July 1-2, 1:00-4:00
Ball handling is the most important skill in the game of basketball today. You can't get shots unless you can take care of the ball! Whether you are slow or fast, big or small, everyone needs to learn how to handle the basketball. The secret to developing these skills? Spend time with a ball in your hands! Or two! Our camp can start you on your way to becoming a better ball handler by focusing on the following aspects: hand quickness, ball control, change of speed, change of direction, using your body to shield the defender and playing with your head up. This camp aims to develop players who can control the defense and get out of trouble when necessary. Ball handlers always find their way on to the court at every level! It is preferred that campers complete the Island Fundamentals camp (Camp 2) before participating in this camp. Limited to first 36 players to sign up to maintain a 6:1 player-to-coach ratio.
Island Skills: Shooting the Rock Grades 5-8 July 1-2, 9:00-12:00
Shooting is a critical skill to any basketball player. You can't win unless you put the ball in the basket! Shooters find their way on to the floor for any team. This camp takes the fundamentals built in our Island Fundamentals camps and takes them to the next level and beyond! The coaching staff starts by breaking down the correct shooting form and trains players out of the bad habits that plague inconsistent shooters. From there, we will begin to build efficient shooters by focusing on the footwork, balance, release and follow through. Eventually, our goal is to develop a shot that can be repeated time and time again with confidence at game speed.
