Keep on learning

The summer sessions of COBA camp may have ended but the learning continues - for campers and instructors. The last two weeks have been fantastic and intense. Basketball boot camp is challenging, both physically and mentally. The planning for next year has already begun. Bookmark the COBA site and watch for updates and details. In the meantime, amongst many topics, players are reminded to work on the following skills:

• first step footwork
• shot fakes (remember it is "a shot not taken")
• offensive ballscreen reads (have patience)
  
• high post series
• ball handling (get the work done but also be creative)
  
• perimeter attack series
• low post footwork (start from the proper area)
• ball tough stance (varies based on location on the court)
• spacing off of ballscreen and dribble drive action
