Basketball

Summer 2010

The Geneseo Park District Athletics Department is excited about our summer basketball opportunities for the residents of Geneseo and surrounding communities.  The Geneseo High School basketball camps under the direction of Coach Martin (boys) and Coach Brucher (girls) are held in June.  Our camps and clinics are held in July.

Basketball Camps being offered on July 13-15 and July 20-22 are 1.5 hours in length each day.  Key concepts of our camp are outlined below.   Our coaches either have played or are currently playing college basketball.  They are bringing drills and concepts from their individual colleges/universities to share with you.  In addition to fundamental skill drills, coaches will speak each day on what it takes to play at the college level and how basketball has positively influenced their life.

Day 1 – Ballhandling, Mikans, Shooting Form, Footwork, Cutting off the ball & finishing with contact
Day 2 – Screening, Cutting off Screens, scoring off of and defending the pick & roll
Day 3 – Free Throws, Drive & Kick, Offensive & Defensive rebounding

Basketball Clinics on Friday July 16 and July 23

Shooting Clinic – This 2 hr clinic will break down the components of a good basketball shot both off the dribble and off a pass.  Coaches will work with each individual to identify their current shooting form and work on improvements to their technique using a variety of challenging drills.

“Big Man” Clinic – This 2 hr clinic will focus on playing with your back to the basket in the low block area.  Players will learn and practice footwork nuances in the low post.  Also, we will break down screening action in the paint as well as high post play.
