Girls’ Basketball Team Tryouts | Clinics
We accept players going into 7th and 8th grade.
Intent
These sessions will be both skills training and tryouts for Team Empowered for the girls. We want to know if players can take in feedback and learn new skills so these tryouts are held over ten sessions.
For more information on Team Empowered coaching philosophies, values and season logistics click this link.
In these sessions, players will develop skills in passing, dribbling, shooting, and team concepts. We’ll break the skills down into their smaller parts, practice the forms and footwork, and build them back up from the ground.
We will also learn and practice both man to man and zone defenses.
Players will receive videos teaching the basic skills and concepts. Watching these videos is optional.
