Rookie League: The Rookie League program has three primary objectives. First, all participants will be given a thorough introduction to basketball fundamentals. Second, interested volunteers will be given a chance to coach and learn about the EPBBA program with the hope they will continue with their much appreciated volunteering in the following years. Finally, a group of High School players will be given the opportunity to give back to the program by helping teach the kids and coaches some of the things they learned from the program.
The program will start with 4 sessions/clinics, conducted by EPHS Head Basketball Coach Dave Flom. The first two sessions will be run by the High School players and they will demonstrate many of the drills/skills that the coaches will be encouraged to teach throughout the season, the next 2 sessions will be run be the coaches with emphasis on fundamentals and using these fundamentals in informal 3 vs 3 scrimmages.
