Elite Tryouts---Middle of October Youth Basketball---End of October

This year’s fall conditioning season started on August 29th and will

run through October 20th. Any boy interested in playing basketball

this year that is not currently in a school sport is invited to

participate in the activities. The players will complete three

shooting workouts, two open gym scrimmages, and three weight

lifting sessions each week.

Each shooting workout is an hour in length and increases skill

levels in ball handling and passing, shooting, and conditioning in

basketball movements. Each weight lifting session will provide the

players with a mile run and various exercises that will improve

strength in basketball specific movements.
