'Observing Coaches Program' at Point Guard College

The Point Guard College is an intense learning experience for junior high school to college-aged male and female student-athletes. This is not your typical basketball camp. It’s called a “college” for a reason. The multi-course curriculum is specially designed to teach basketball players to play the game intelligently, to train purposefully, to be “coaches on the court,” and to be true leaders during games, in practice, during the off-season, and in everyday life.

The 'Observing Coaches Program' allows coaches to sit in on all of the classroom, video-analysis and on-court sessions. Coaches can take notes on all of the unique drills, drill progressions, concepts and principles that are taught at Point Guard College.

Observing Coaches also benefit from daily discussions with other attending coaches and interact with Point Guard College staff and participating athletes throughout the week. Observing Coaches also benefit from a “coaches-only” open-forum discussion with the director of the course.

If you are interested in the PGC Observing Coaches Program, visit PointGuardCollege.com now.

If you would like to save 25% off the normal rate, you must become a member of HoopsUInsider.com!
