Tuesday, November 18Elite Skillz Academy
This Skillz Academy is designed to improve students skillz in basketball as well as academics. The academy will not only concentrate on developing fundamentals like shooting, dribbling, passing, rebounding and defensive and offensive skillz, but will have an educational program as well. We want the kids to understand that it’s not promised to make it to the professional level so education is important. On November 17, 2008 we started the academy in Wilmington DE.
The Academy will be instructed by:
Robert Moore, Coach Ali and TCE Coaching staff. Claude Pritchard will be special invited guest to train the kids as well.
