Dennis Kessel Shooting Clinic - Wednesdays @ Libertyville Sports Complex
| Dates | Description | Times | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wednesdays starting September 13, 20, 27 / October 3, 10, 17, 24 | Coach Denny Kessel is recognized as a very accomplished shooting instructor. Having been asked 2011-2012 NBA season to break down and analyze the Chicago Bulls shooters. Has also trained John Paxson, son and Bill Cartwright daughter and many other college players. His training is highlighted by developing a players mid-range game with a deadly jump shot. This will be a no non-sense, intense, but extreme coaching to help develop your shot. I don't waste time on gimmick shots, or ineffective offensive moves to score the basketball. This will be two hours of useful preparation for the upcoming season. | 6:00-8:00pm | 8th - 12th (Boys & Girls) |
