Grammar Basketball Academy
About this Event
Is your athlete ready to transition from a player to a playmaker?
Join Coach Colley-Leger ’09 and a team of expert coaches for an intensive, high-energy week at the Halifax Grammar School. We’ve designed a curriculum that bridges the gap between raw talent and high-level Basketball IQ. This isn't just another summer camp—it’s an "Academy" designed to give Grade 5–8 athletes the skills they need to dominate the court.
Through a mix of on-court drills and classroom strategy sessions, your athlete will master the mental and physical tools required to play at the next level.
Your Academy Experience Includes:
- 5 Days of Elite Coaching: Specialized daily focuses (see curriculum below).
- The "Classroom" Edge: Unique film/notebook sessions to increase Basketball IQ.
- Exclusive Gear: Every registered athlete receives a premium reversible jersey.
- A Competitive Edge: A positive environment where kids are challenged to grow.
The 5-Day Curriculum
- Day 1: The Triple Threat Blueprint – Mastering footwork and the art of the first move.
- Day 2: Ankle Breaker Alley – Advanced ball handling and creating space.
- Day 3: Splash Zone – Science-backed shooting mechanics and shot selection.
- Day 4: Two-Man Chemistry – The art of the screen: working together to unlock the defense.
