Many of you have just finished your busy June summer basketball seasons with your HS teams. As you head into July and then the Fall, it is a great time to explore new ideas for the coming season.
In the Spring of 2020, I had planned to attend a basketball clinic in Chicago. I always have found clinics as a way for me to refresh and reenergize myself. It is a great way to begin to look at ideas for the coming season- from drills to schemes to culture. As we know, all plans for the Spring of 2020 came crashing down.
I don’t know how I got connected, by I found online clinics run by a high school coach out of California. His topics varied, and he had presenters all over coaching landscape. They might be famous like Paul Westhead or they might be D2 college coach or a State Champion HS coach from California. During Covid, my son or I would watch 3-4 clinics a week it seemed.
Marc Hart is the California HS coach. He has a ton of resources and ways you can learn.
Twitter- @CoachMarcHart He will have great breakdown videos.
Courses- His best is the most detailed course on Dribble Drive Motion Offense.
System Basketball YouTube Channel
Facebook- Dribble Drive Motion Hoop Talk
Facebook- System Basketball Coaches
Website with all the clinics listed- System Basketball Community
System Basketball Store- Clinics, Courses, Film Studies, Roundtables, Playbooks.
I would highly recommend as coaches, you join System Basketball Community. Don’t be scared away with the title “system basketball” if you are not a Grinnell System coach. His library of clinics will have some system clinics but you name it- he has clinics put on by the coaches.
What I really like about the clinics is that the presenters are often times just like you and I as a high school coach. They are either still HS coaching or starting up the ranks in college- but they are NOT afraid to share their ideas. I guarantee you will find any topic you are interested in- drills, practice organization, zone systems, mm systems, offensive schemes, skill development.
It costs $99 for to join the group for one year. That means you will get email invites to “attend” any clinics live. If you do a clinic live, you can chip in and ask questions. Many of the clinics are starting about 9pm Central so many of you can put the kids to bed and watch. If you don’t want to do live clinics- you will be able to go thru the clinic file and watch the clinics later.
If you want more details- here is where you can go to explore some options. (Remember- the title says “System” but it is all areas of basketball!)
