1 Comment

 
The Mile High Centennials is a SKILLS FIRST youth basketball club that offers unique, drop-in group basketball training clinics for players looking to improve their individual skills and fundamentals. These high-energy training clinics focus on skills and player development and are emphasized through challenging fundamentals drills within a fun, competitive setting. The skills clinics are highly structured, and typically run betwween 1-2 hours long.  Youth basketball players wanting to drop-in and train must first REGISTER.

Clinics rarely pause, so to maximize gym time, stretching and water breaks are encouraged while players wait their turn during drills. This ensures plenty of repetitions, which yields optimal results. Here is what a group basketball fundamentals training clinic may entail:

Warm Up - Ball Handling & Dribbling
  • Maravich ball handling drills
  • Cone dribbling (in-and-out, "c" and "v" dribble, cross over, behind the back, wrap-around)
  • 2-ball power dribbling (emphasis on staying low and compact, keeping eyes up, and pounding the ball HARD)
  • Tennis balls may also be incorporated for responsiveness, explosion and hand-eye coordination drills

Shooting
  • Form shooting (teach proper mechanics & form)
  • Partner shooting (stress being shot ready, good mechanics, quick release, confidence, then incorporate a shot fake, power dribble left and right, step through)
  • 1-on-1 competitive shooting (defense closes out and boxes out for rebound after shot)
  • 1-on-1 live action (defense passes ball out, closed out, then they play live)
Scrimmaging
  • 2x3, 3x3, 4x4 or 5x5 live competition (primarily stressing motion offensive and man-to-man defensive principles)
Fitness & Conditioning
  • Core strengthening
  • Suicides relays or sprint intervals
  • Free throws are mixed in throughout the clinic

Refreshing to see a strong focus on fundamentals. We've bounced around a few other clubs and none of them have emphasized skills development like the Centennials does. Most spend time working on plays. Centennials coaches are caring and very hands on. Plus, they are organized and communications are frequent and clear. That in itself was a nice change.
