🏀 REMINDER! 🏀

We’re excited for our upcoming Meet the Coach & Basketball Clinic! 🏀❤️

This is a great opportunity for our Kindergarten–2nd grade athletes to meet their coach, make new friends, have fun, and start building those basketball skills!

Our coaches will be working with the kids on the fundamentals, including:
🏀 Dribbling
🏀 Passing
🏀 Shooting
🏀 Layups

We want to create a fun, positive environment where our young athletes can learn, grow, build confidence, and most importantly—have FUN! 🙌🏽

Parents, we appreciate your support and encouragement as we help these young athletes begin their basketball journey! ❤️🏀

We can’t wait to see everyone there! LET’S PLAY! 🏀🔥
