*NEW PROGRAM!
Join us for this exciting, professional basketball clinic with Coach Rick Harper from Rick's Performance Basketball!
Too often, middle school and high school players reach the next level without being fully introduced to the game. While many young athletes bring talent and athleticism, they may struggle with the fundamentals that truly elevate performance such as running plays, moving effectively off the ball, running the floor with purpose, mirroring offensive actions, or executing the pick-and-roll. These missing pieces can hold players back long before they reach the college level.
This Performance Development Basketball Clinic is designed to help close that gap. Our focus goes beyond athletic ability. We develop complete players who understand the game, think the game, and execute with confidence. We emphasize basketball IQ, skill development, and real-game application to ensure young athletes are prepared for higher levels of competition. Our goal isn’t just to help players make institutions look good, it's to help players look good while doing it!
