Lynnville-Sully Gym Rats 2018 Summer Boys Basketball Program Boys Entering Grades 1st—8th FOR REGISTRATION INFORMATION AND FORM, click HERE The Lynnville-Sully boys’ basketball coaches would like to invite all boys entering grades 1st through 8th to be a part of our summer basketball program—the L-S Gym Rats. We believe this program will provide young players the chance to have fun while improving their skills. The L-S Gym Rats program is a 6-week program. We will meet two days a week (Wednesdays for 3 on 3 & Fridays for fundamentals) for a total of 11 sessions. We will not meet on Wednesday, July 4. This program will begin on Wednesday, June 6 and conclude on Friday, July 13. This program will be held in the middle school gym which allows us to lower the baskets for younger players. The high school gym will be utilized when needed. 3 on 3 Wednesdays (June 6, 13, 20, & 27 and July 11. We will not meet on July 4.) The idea behind playing 3 on 3 is that it provides every player the chance to be more involved in the game than in a typical 5 on 5 game. We believe this will help every player develop into a more complete player. We will do our best to create teams that are balanced according to age and ability. There will not be a lot of formal instruction on Wednesdays. The idea is to let the boys play. We will be emphasizing sportsmanship, teamwork, and playing the game with strong fundamentals. Should be a lot of fun!
Friday Fundamentals (June 8, 15, 22, & 29 and July 6 & 13) Everyone likes to play basketball, but to be a good player, a person has to spend a lot of time working on the fundamentals of the game. The purpose of Friday fundamentals is to teach young players what it takes to develop solid ball handling and shooting skills that will help them be successful in the future. We will encourage players to take what they learn in these sessions and apply it to their workouts at home.
