CLINICS

Doner Elite Basketball clinics are aimed at individual skill development to prepare players for success on their Travel, Middle School, High School and College Teams.  Players are developed through Sam's innovative and creative "full court, full speed" developmental drills and receive constant input, feedback and motivation.  Clinics focus on areas such as ball handling, dribbling, shooting, post moves, rebounding, individual perimeter skills, and "seeing the game" in transition.  The clinics provide a high intensity workout with immediate results for players at all skill levels.

The academy is a fast paced 10 week program that is limited to 12-15 players per session.  Each of the ninety minute sessions focus on individual instruction and skill building with drills tailored to the needs of each participant.  During each session the players will drill individually, in small groups and with all of the other participants.  An individual weekly plan for each player is created based upon Sam's evaluation of the players needs in conjunction with the player/parents desired focus.  The success of the program is a direct reflection of the committment and efforts of the participants.  As the Academy is scheduled once a week, there will be "homework" drills that each player is expected to do on their own between sessions. 

 

Summer Skills Training Camp       - 2010 SUMMER CAMP REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED!   CAMP IS FULL!                      


Summer is just around the corner and is the best time for the Serious Basketball Player to improve!

Summer Skills/Training Camp:
The Doner Elite Summer 2010 Player Development Program is for committed and serious players looking to take their game to the next level. The Camp is based on the concept that intensive day to day training will result in maximum individual improvement over the shortest period of time.  Each weekly Summer Skills/Training Camp session will have a maximum of twenty five (25) players.  Limiting the number of participants in each session ensures adequate preparation and supervision of individualized workouts for each player.  Please note that in order to participate a player must sign up for at least four (4) days of the week.  Participation at this level will guarantee player development.  However, players are encouraged to sign up for the full week.  There are no restrictions to the number of weeks a player may sign up for, but space is limited.
All sessions will take place at the BROWN MIDDLE SCHOOL gym, in Newton, Massachusetts.
For those players who have never participated in "small clinic" training with Doner Elite Basketball, your strengths and weaknesses must be evaluated in order to prepare an individual plan for you prior to your participation.  Please ask your current coach(es) for their input, and be sure to indicate the need for an evaluation on your registration form and an evaluation session will be scheduled prior to camp.
A one (1) hour  a day “Game Session”  will also be offered where players will be taught “to see the game”  while using the skills they are learning and developing.  Full court, 1 on 1, 2 on 2, and 3 on 3 games will be played . I have scheduled this session between the Skills sessions for the convenience of the participants.
