In December, Burke Basketball and Cheryl Yarbrough of “Lessons Learned Hoops” will again offer our Skills/Training program for our House and Travel players.

The group at Lessons Learned do an outstanding job coaching players of all levels from beginners to college athletes.

This is the eighth year of fundamental instruction and all sessions will have a low instructor to player ratio. Jump start your hoop season and come work on your game in four weekly sessions!

Look to see drill sessions such as:

• Technical training in proper shooting form for lay-ups, foul shots, and jump shots.
• Ball handling - change of speed and direction moves.
• Defensive footwork - advance and retreat step, drop step, close out, denial, help, lateral movement, stance, box out.
• Passing and pivoting skills.
• Footwork for faking - jab and go, jab and cross

Bring your own basketball for the drills you will be performing during the sessions. Write your name on your basketball before coming to this event.
