Jr. HEAT Skills & Drills free basketball clinic

You got kids?

Then you know, in Miami it’s basketball season. And what better way to keep them busy practicing outdoors than running and dribbling in a safe space being coached by experts, right? Well now, your job as parent and coach, could get a whole lot easier.

Starting Saturday, Nov. 19 from 9:30 to 11 am., there will be an eight-week basketball camp offered to children from Overtown Youth Center and other children in the community. The clinics will offer children 8 to 14 years old the opportunity to participate and practice their skills.

Skills include:

  • Dribbling and proper technique for a layup
  • Learning to dribble with the opposite hand
  • Shooting techniques
  • Jump shots and more

The clinics are free with registration while there is still space. They will be held at the Underline Brickell Backyard Urban Gym, located at SW Eighth Street and SW First Avenue, Miami.

See more details and information here. Only 30 attendees will be accepted, so register for your spot early.
