Phase II - Shooting Clinic Dates/Times
This year we will offer the shooting clinic during the month of February. Each Sunday beginning Feb. 5th through Feb. 26th we will be at The Fieldhouse, The SportZone and Plainfield Rec. Center during the regularly scheduled times.

The shooting clinics will detail proper shooting form and technique. We will work on body balance and alignment to the basket. Once we establish the basics of shooting, we will get into various offensive skills; off the dribble shooting, using picks, effective cuts, etc.

New Policy & Procedures
We will use the entire month of May on an annual basis to perform our MANDATORY functional movement screen and SPARQ rating testing on each athlete that is a participant in the Program. We hope to use these tests to better the quality of training 100% Hoops offers while continuing to develop fundamentals skills in the proper way. Basics - Phase 1 is a great opportunity for athletes to develop the necessary skills and athletic ability to raise their level of play. With the functional movement screen and the SPARQ rating tests, we will be able to document an athlete's starting point and progressions throughout the training.

Reminder, we instituted a rate increase effective Jan. 1, 2006. Please keep that in mind when renewing session package plans!

Internship Program
We are going to have a great opportunity for college age students/athletes to intern with 100% Hoops and/or 100% Performance beginning May 2006 through August 2006. If you know of anyone who has an interest in performance training and/or basketball skills development, please have them contact me. The interns will help facilitate training, coordinate workout schedules, perform business administration duties, etc. Compensation can be discussed.


Best Swishes,
