BASKETBALL CLINIC FOR YOUNG PLAYERS IN ACCRA

After a week's clinic for young basketball coaches in Accra and Takoradi the GBBA is organizing a clinic for young players U16 & U20 at the ICGC basketball court at Abossey Okai from Tuesday 15th December 2009 to the 18th December 2009.

The past three days has been inspiring for Ghana Basketball seeing over thirty young U18 & U16 boys and girls basketball players  coming in each day to go through basketball fundamental skills training from morning to late afternoon. On Day 1 players where taken through various offensive drills which included triple threat position, shooting technique, dribbling, passing, and some one on one moves. Day 2 saw a more intense session with players going through various defense techniques and drills which required maximum effort from players. The drills touched on almost every aspect of defense such as proper spacing, defensive stance, off ball defense, on ball defense, defending the post, and defending screens. Every daily session is a build up to the final day which is going to be a game day with players playing in a 3on3 and 5on5 tournament. Attendance has been impressive through out the three days and all players and coaches are looking forward to the tournament which is on the 18th of December 2009.
