Happy New Year!!
Our 2009 basketball programs have begun and I look forward to seeing the Bulls Academy basketball players back on our beautiful basketball courts! The Christmas and New Year's break was great, but basketball players are made in the gym!
Shooting Camp begins tonight for 5-10 year old participants at the Chicago Bulls/White Sox Training Academy in Lisle. Shooting Camp is a 4 week class that meets once a week on Tuesdays for an hour and a half from 5:00-6:30pm for this age group. We also offer Shooting Camp on Thursdays for an hour and a half from 5:00-6:30pm for the 11-17 year old participants as well. The first class for that age group begins Thursday, January 8, 2009. The cost is $105.00 per participant.
Our objective is to work with the participants in developing the basic shooting techniques that are necessary to be an effective shooter. Shooting is developed through practicing proper basketball mechanics and techniques at ALL ages! Participants will work on balance, straight elbow (straight), eyes (focus), follow through and footwork while gaining confidence in their shooting. Players that can shoot the basketball on any level will be on the floor at crunch time. Good shooters are not born but made. Shooting is an art and it has to be practiced correctly on a consistent basis.
Our goal is to make each player a clutch shooter in game situations. We look forward to seeing you on our courts soon! Remember, basketball players are made in the gym!!
Yours in Basketball,
Larry Stewart
