Hoop Heads Newsletter

A day late this week, and... I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy as we all figure out how to best navigate this challenging time. We'll continue to produce the Hoop Heads Pod three times per week, hopefully giving you some positive content to consume.

We are all in this together. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and will follow guidance from public health officials and government agencies, so we can continue to support our families and communities. Not sure when or if basketball activities will resume, but just like you I'm hopeful that we'll all be stronger on the other side and that we'll appreciate the game we love just a little bit more.

Thanks,

Head Start Basketball Camps - Summer 2020

HEAD START BASKETBALL CAMPS emphasize the fundamentals of basketball with individual attention given to each young player. The campers will be taught the basic techniques of shooting, dribbling, passing, rebounding, and defense. The camp will not only provide a fundamental base for each young player, but will also be a fun and enjoyable experience for every camper.
Our coaches work with the young players on developing their individual basketball skills. We want to make the most of every day and we do that with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. Learning is FUN!

Here are just a few things you will learn out on the court
  • Ball handling drills that you can work on at home to become more confident with the ball
  • Proper shooting technique
