WHY THIS CLINIC? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most clinics focus on providing you with a variety of speakers for a very short time. At the COBA Can-Am On-Court Basketball Coaches Clinic we want to take you more in depth into the minds of some of the best coaches in North America. Our clinic will feature multiple sessions with each speaker so that each can provide a complete picture of their topic.
On-court demonstrations and progressions will be used to teach you their offensive and defensive systems. More importantly, you will get more of an opportunity to interact with the clinicians through question and answer periods.
