Overview:
The post position is no longer for the tallest player on the court. Nor is it a requirement to play with your "back to the basket". Today's post players are versatile and must play a variety of different styles. At the Post Player Academy, players will learn how to take advantage of their special skills and how to polish and develop their talents even further. This intense camp will teach you how to expose mismatches and give you the strategies and the knowledge to help lead your team to success. This camp will provide you with the necessary tools to be a better player, lead your team to more victories or possibly earn a college scholarship. A combination of live game play, drill, on-court demonstrations, video analysis and classroom sessions will provide the player will every opportunity to develop their skills.
