8:15 AM - 9:15 AM    Basketball, Dunkers Clinic - Dunkers Basketball - 1st Graders
The Dunkers Clinic is the most important basketball program that we offer, as it lays the groundwork for each child's basketball skills as they develop as a player. The clinics focus on the basics; fundamentals of dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense. Because of the gap in experience from the 1st graders to a majority of the 2nd graders, we find it most beneficial to do the clinics as co-ed clinics split by grade level, rather than gender. Children will eventually get assigned to a team and a coach, as we will use this for short games and grouping.Everyone will get a t-shirt! Coaches are needed! Those interested in coaching can apply by clicking on the link below.You may notice that the run times of both Dunkers Clinics are different from what is listed in our Fall brochure. Please be advised that the times that are here online are the CORRECT times, as some small changes have been made. Rocky Hill Parks & Recreation: Coaches Corner (rhparkrec.org)

The Dunkers Clinic is the most important basketball program that we offer, as it lays the groundwork for each child's basketball skills as they develop as a player. The clinics focus on the basics; fundamentals of dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense. Because of the gap in experience from the 1st graders to a majority of the 2nd graders, we find it most beneficial to do the clinics as co-ed clinics split by grade level, rather than gender. Children will eventually get assigned to a team and a coach, as we will use this for short games and grouping.Everyone will get a t-shirt! Coaches are needed! Those interested in coaching can apply by clicking on the link below.You may notice that the run times of both Dunkers Clinics are different from what is listed in our Fall brochure.

The Dunkers Clinic is the most important basketball program that we offer, as it lays the groundwork for each child's basketball skills as they develop as a player. The clinics focus on the basics; fundamentals of dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense. Because of the gap in experience from the 1st graders to a majority of the 2nd graders, we find it most beneficial to do the clinics as co-ed clinics split by grade level, rather than gender. Children will eventually get assigned to a team and a coach, as we will use this for short games and grouping.Everyone will get a t-shirt! Coaches are needed! Those interested in coaching can apply by clicking on the link below.You may notice that the run times of both Dunkers Clinics are different from what is listed in our Fall brochure. Please be advised that the times that are here online are the CORRECT times, as some small changes have been made. Rocky Hill Parks & Recreation: Coaches Corner (rhparkrec.org)

The Dunkers Clinic is the most important basketball program that we offer, as it lays the groundwork for each child's basketball skills as they develop as a player. The clinics focus on the basics; fundamentals of dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense. Because of the gap in experience from the 1st graders to a majority of the 2nd graders, we find it most beneficial to do the clinics as co-ed clinics split by grade level, rather than gender. Children will eventually get assigned to a team and a coach, as we will use this for short games and grouping.Everyone will get a t-shirt! Coaches are needed! Those interested in coaching can apply by clicking on the link below.You may notice that the run times of both Dunkers Clinics are different from what is listed in our Fall brochure. Please be advised that the times that are here online are the CORRECT times, as some small changes have been made. Rocky Hill Parks & Recreation: Coaches Corner (rhparkrec.org)

8:15 AM - 9:15 AM    Basketball, Dunkers Clinic - Dunkers Basketball - 1st Graders
The Dunkers Clinic is the most important basketball program that we offer, as it lays the groundwork for each child's basketball skills as they develop as a player. The clinics focus on the basics; fundamentals of dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense. Because of the gap in experience from the 1st graders to a majority of the 2nd graders, we find it most beneficial to do the clinics as co-ed clinics split by grade level, rather than gender. Children will eventually get assigned to a team and a coach, as we will use this for short games and grouping.Everyone will get a t-shirt! Coaches are needed! Those interested in coaching can apply by clicking on the link below.You may notice that the run times of both Dunkers Clinics are different from what is listed in our Fall brochure. Please be advised that the times that are here online are the CORRECT times, as some small changes have been made. Rocky Hill Parks & Recreation: Coaches Corner (rhparkrec.org)
