How the day runs

A clinic, not a tournament.

Players show up in the morning, get split into teams, and rotate through four blocks. Each block has a clear focus, and at the end of the day, every player has reps in every area.

01

Warm-up + team draft

Dynamic warm-up with the staff, then players are drafted into balanced teams with coaches assigned to each. Names on jerseys, photos taken.

First 30 min
02

Skill stations

Teams rotate through four stations: ball-handling, shooting, finishing, defense. Every player gets coached reps at every station.

~90 min
03

Lunch + chalk talk

Break for lunch (provided), then a short chalk-talk on game IQ and team concepts before the afternoon scrimmages.

45 min
04

Scrimmages + awards

Round-robin scrimmages with coach-led feedback between games. Day closes with team awards and a group photo.

~90 min
Questions parents ask

Before you sign your kid up.

What ages is the clinic for?
The summer clinic is open to all grades K–11. Players are grouped by age and skill so younger kids aren't matched against high schoolers.
How much does it cost, and where does the money go?
Final pricing is set each spring. The clinic is a fundraiser. All net proceeds go toward keeping Next Wave Hoops training free for families who need it. No player is ever turned away for cost.
Do players need experience?
No. The clinic is designed for both new players and kids who've played for years. Stations are scaled to the group, and coaches focus on each player's next step, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
What should my kid bring?
Athletic clothes, court shoes, a water bottle, and a basketball if they have one (we'll provide if not). Lunch is included. The jersey is given out at the start of the day.
When will registration open?
Registration opens in late spring each year. Join the waitlist above to get the date as soon as it's set, and to lock in early-bird pricing.
