FALL, WINTER, AND SPRING SKILLS & GAMES DEVELOPMENTAL LEAGUE PROGRAM
The focus of these programs will be to teach the introductory fundamentals of the game of basketball. The important techniques of dribbling, shooting, basic team offense & defense, and rebounding will all be taught and addressed throughout the program. Above all (and throughout the program), Headfirst will continually teach and communicate to the young basketball players the importance of teamwork and working together to accomplish goals, both on and off the court.

The schedule of each session will include a teaching period, followed by a game –like scrimmage. Score will be kept and the rules of basketball will be accounted for and refereed.

All abilities are welcome for both boys and girls in this program.

AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Headfirst Basketball After School Programs combine fundamental skills instruction with organized team competition with the goal of providing an enjoyable and educational after school activity. Throughout the sessions we will focus upon improving player's individual and team player skills such as passing, dribbling, shooting, rebounding, and defending. Boys and girls of all skill levels are encouraged to participate. Each session will end with a life-skills short talk.

The clinics are specifically designed for active children ages 4-10. With the recent decline of physical education in schools, children are usually left restless and often times turn to video games and television for entertainment. The Headfirst After School clinics will provide kids with a fun, structured introduction to physical fitness and athletic development that will get them excited about playing games and exercising. Life skill lessons will also be taught and introduced.

Our Clinics are designed for athletes of all ages and abilities. Groups are separated by age, grade level and ability. Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced/Select athletes are encouraged to join us for this after school program.

SUMMER, SPRING BREAK & WINTER HOLIDAY BASKETBALL CAMP

Having fun through a positive teaching and learning environment, Headfirst Basketball Camp will emphasize individual skills, basic fundamentals and team play in a positive coaching environment. Fundamentals will include shooting, passing, dribbling, rebounding and defensive techniques as well as special insight into the lost art of modern basketball: the backdoor pass! Skills will be taught and practiced everyday with a specific focus on one main fundamental each day (i.e., shooting).

Campers will be divided into smaller groups for stations to provide an intimate learning environment and specific, individual teaching. Organized team play and skills competition will allow campers to practice fundamentals in a fun and competitive environment. Fundamentals, stations, skills competitions and games will be taught, coached and refereed by an extremely qualified staff of Headfirst coaches. Campers will be exposed to a wide variety of skills and fundamentals in a fun and positive environment to learn basketball the right way: the Headfirst way!

Our Sports Camps are designed for athletes of all ages and abilities. Groups are separated by age, grade level and ability. Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced/Select athletes are encouraged to join us at camp.

We wanted to let you know how pleased we were with Headfirst. As always your staff did an excellent job of teaching and skill instruction, but more importantly their enthusiasm and love of teaching demonstrated to the children valuable lessons about sportsmanship, proper manners, appropriate behavior and respect for themselves, teammates and opponents. — Summer Camp Parent
