Defensive Clinic: Play D So Well The Coach Can’t Afford to Bench You

Austin Basketball Clinic on Defense 611-min

Presenter / Coach:  Dr. Tim Rice assisted by Chris Corbett

When:  Friday, July 13th.  6pm – 8pm

Where:  Fitzhugh Baptist Church Gym

How Much:  $29 if you pay now, $36 at the door.  $10 for coaches interested in teaching defense.  Strictly limited to first 20 players registered.


Player / Coach Option



tim rice defensive clinicWhy:  “Tim Rice is one of the best defensive teachers I have witnessed and also know that defensive skills are not taught at high level by most coaches and trainers.  The player who can learn defense and craft a reputation as a defensive stopper can still stay in the game while struggling thru a shooting slump, having turnoveritis, or not executing offensive sets.   One of the best ways to up your scoring average is to stay on the floor.  Defensive players earn more minutes and thus have an opportunity to score more.”  Chris Corbett

Players will receive instruction and training on the concepts necessary to become a knowledgeable and solid defensive player. Players will learn:
  • Proper defensive stance and positioning
  • Proper on-the-ball and off-the-ball positioning
  • Proper defensive rebounding positioning and technique
  • Proper closeout fundamentals
  • Explosive on-the-ball individual concepts to “guard their yard” and contain the ball
  • Team half-court defensive principles.
Playing defense is something that is not common in today’s player. Learning these concepts can help you impress your coach and help you see the floor more as a player.

FITZHUGH BAPTIST CHURCH GYMNASIUM (http://www NULL.fitzhughbaptist NULL.org/contact-suggestions NULL.htm)

Strictly Limited To First 22 Registrations Per Age Group

 Camp Director Chris Corbett is known as Austin’s best shooting coach and has designed this clinic to review scoring fundamentals, discuss in – season shooting tweaks and also to share slump-busting tips and confidence builders.  And tons of reps… getting buckets!

This is not a factory type camp.  We are focused on a strict review and repetition of the fundamentals of great shooting and scoring:

  • The Importance of “Ready on the Catch”

  • Hand Position on The Basketball

  • Being Assertive and Conveying Openness to Teammates (Without Being A Pest)

  • Intuitive System for Determining Whether to Shoot or Not

  • Why Footwork is The Real Key To Shot Preparation

  • The Importance of Legs in Developing Consistency and Extending Range

  • Follow Thru – Taking Ownership of This Critical Skill

  • Takeaway Plan For Your Season

  • Fun- Bring the Fun Back To Shooting

  • Finishing Moves To Get You Confidence on Your Drives

  • Defense That Keeps You On the Floor

  • Free Throws

  • Moving Without The Ball

  • Much More!!

 

There will be contests, music, prizes and The Introduction of Multiple Take Home Drills.  Players should expect to get up hundreds of shots and reinforce fundamentals critical to their shooting success this season.

Most players are not working on their scoring as school practices are typically devoted to conditioning, offensive plays, traps, and schemes.  Be the player who makes the offensive scheme work with scoring skills.  Knock down shots with a level of consistency that inspires your team and coach.

In keeping with the spirit of honoring Dr. King, we want you to consider how you can apply this quote from him.  Not only as a basketball teammate, but with your family, your friends, at school, and in your community.
 
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is ‘What are you doing for others?’ ” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

***Normally there are no refunds on camps unless we have doctor’s note at which point credit is issued.   We hold the spot and may or not be able to fill it after you wish to cancel.  However, if you are having Covid like symptoms please do not come to camp and we will issue a credit toward other camps and programs.****

Reviews of Chris Corbett’s Work

Mark Acres - Boston Celtics

“Having played basketball with Austin Youth Basketball’s Chris Corbett for a decade that brought numerous championships, I can say his approach every game was about dedication and focus.  His integrity, desire and knowledge of the game made him a valuable teammate and a coach on the floor. Any player or program would benefit from having Chris on board for player development and reaching for higher standards.”

Mark Acres  |  Boston Celtics

7 Year NBA Veteran

 

mike-vandegarde Sixers Scout

Chris Corbett & Austin Youth Basketball have an amazing level of passion for the game of basketball at all levels. His high energy approach to working on the fundamentals of the game is great for all players. He works with every player on their strengths and weaknesses to make them the best player they can be. I have sent him players in the past and will continue to recommend other players ready to work on their game to him.

edwina-brown-pre-game

“Chris Corbett is very passionate about helping our youth and sharing his knowledge of the game through the fundamentals that have been forgotten.  I admire his desire to learn and share his expertise in hoops and life.  He encouraged me through a tough time in my life after the passing of my Grandmother mainly because he could relate. And I will forever be grateful.  Chris Corbett is an up and coming skills trainer in Austin and teaches with morals and work ethic.”
