Welcome to the 4th annual ROOKIE Camp!  This a special week designed specifically for basketball players entering grades 1-3.

coach geo Thomas will break down the camp in a manner that younger players can understand.  Every player gets a playbook that will have valuable information.  The 2012 Playbook will have a few new inserts including an in-bounds play, how to set a pick and of course, "The 10 Secrets of Basketball."

Coach Jim Arlen runs the check-in desk and every player is assigned a locker to store their gear.  Every locker has the child's name and number on it --Just like the Pros!

Our instructors have been trained on how to break down the game for younger players and they understand the importance of balancing fun and games with structure and instruction.  Some of the things we will be covering:

DEFENSE:
--Proper defensive footwork and stance
--How to stay on your man
--Understanding "HELP" defense

REBOUNDING:
--How to hold the ball after a defensive rebound
--Looking for the proper outlet pass
--How to use an "up-fake" after an offensive rebound

OFFENSE:
--Learn when to dribble and when to pass
--Proper mechanics for ball handling and passing
--The art of faking a pass or shot

Campers will also be given quizzes on the rules each day so they may understand what the officials are calling during the games.

This camp runs 9am-1pm every day.  Kids should bring a lunch or a Pizza Lunch is offered daily for $5.00.

The camp will conclude with an awards ceremony on Friday where all kids will be recognized for their efforts.

To register for the Rookie Camp, please call 248-203-3800 or visit their website at www.communityed.net
