The Importance of Summer Camps & Clinics: Adding Depth to your Child's Game

-





Why should your Child attend Camps & Clinics? 


With many youth basketball teams, the trend over the past couple decades has been to play more games and do less skill work. While games are important, your child needs a healthy balance of game time and practice time. The problem with more games and less practice is that your child will touch the ball much less. With more touches, your child becomes a better basketball player. 



With all things being equal, we'll break down a typical 32-minute game: 

32 x 5 = 160 total minutes for a team of 8 players. 

160 minutes / 8 players = 20 minutes per player. 

20 minutes per player / 2 = 10 minutes of time that your team is on offense. 

10 minutes / 5 players = your child is only touching the ball for two minutes per game!! 

During our typical skill sessions, the player will have the ball in their hands 60 to 90 minutes. 

That means you have to play 30 to 45 games to touch the ball as much as a player would during one of our skill sessions. 

Also, during a typical game, you're lucky if your child gets 10 shots. 

During our skill sessions, your child should get anywhere from 100 to 300 shots. 



Shouldn't my Child get Plenty of Skill Work during Team Practices? 

Yes, they should be, but they are probably not. On top of getting limited gym time (typically 1 to 3 hours per week), most youth coaches will barely get enough time to teach team offense and team defense. As a result, very little time is spent on getting better at individual skills such as: Ball handling, shooting, and footwork.

At Royal Basketball School, we want to help your child live a healthy life, while having a TON of fun at the same time! We truly encourage and would like to see all of our students participate in our upcoming summer camp!

Age is not a Factor: Let's Ball!

At Royal Basketball School, we believe there is so much more to developing your child's basketball skills than just going out on the court to shoot. We focus on the fundamentals of the game. The critical building blocks your child needs to become a solid overall basketball player. The younger a child begins working on their game, the faster they will develop into a well-rounded athlete.  Developing proper body movement, harnessing athleticism, perfecting hand eye coordination, enhancing  work ethic, and the promotion of a daily exercise routine, will all be taught to your child.  Our youngest age groups focus on: How to run, jump, slide your feet, skip, move dynamically with high knees, and jump on a single foot. Students also begin to learn how to control the basketball with their fingertips, roll the ball on the ground, hold the ball, dribble, pass and so much more!  Q: Does that mean my child will not learn how to shoot in the class designed for the youngest leve...
