24 BULLS Grades 8/9 - Super Prep for High School Basketball
This 27 session program is guaranteed to make you a better basketball player. We have assembled a team of coaches to work with this group. This is a first of its kind program for Burnaby and is a good as any you will find in the country. We are happy to announce that Performance Institute of Burnaby has been selected to develop our young basketball players next fall in the area of strength and conditioning. They are conveniently located at Burnaby 8 Rinks not far from Burnaby Central. Steve Ramsbottom at PI is highly qualified and has been very successful with youth development teams in the past. We were very impressed with his background and willingness to help us build this program.
We are also pleased to announce that Kisin Dragoslav will work with our young players on the Euro way of fundamental basketball skill development . Coach Dragoslav is a former director with Victory Sports Camps and a professional coach in the former Yugoslavia. He brings years of experience that include coaching the Yugoslavian Junior National Basketball team, head coaching experience in the professional ranks in Europe and a stint with the Grizzlies of the NBA. He has also authored a book on the offensive basketball systems today and is a keen student of the game. The team skills day of our basketball development program will be handled by Dave the Head Balloholic himself and will cover team play, motion concepts and exhibitions. We are excited to be able to offer this program in only our third season of existence. This will eventually be our signature program as we strive to produce an elite U15 team for summer tournaments at the AAU level. There are 24 spaces available and only 24, now and in the future. When demand exceeds this number it will trigger tryouts for those spots. We don't anticipate there will be tryouts at this point in our development of this program. It will help those who register to become much better basketball players. This basketball program is designed for young players who wish to pursue basketball in high school and beyond. There are many opportunities to play basketball after high school at the college level or further today. It takes a tremendous amount of dedication and effort to achieve that goal. This program is meant to complement the training of players already on school teams determined to move on to the next level and give them the framework on how to become better athletes, better teammates, better leaders.
If you are serious about playing basketball this program is for you. This is the first installment of a year round program for boys in this age group. The Fall program will be followed by a Winter program of 2 days per week during the basketball season. This will be followed up with a Spring League in '09 in mid April. A U15 summer team will be chosen from this year round group to represent the program in July 09. The level and interest of the team will determine where they are sent to compete. This will be decided early in the Winter Session. Fees will include reversible practice top and shorts players will keep.
