The Oceanport Basketball Association is offering rec basketball skills clinics at Maple Place School the weeks of August 5th and August 12th. These clinics are only open to children entering 1st through 6th grade in September of 2013 who reside in (or go to school in) Monmouth Beach, West Long Branch, Oceanport, or Sea Bright . These age and skill specific clinics will be overseen by Coach Gerry Mosley of SHOOT FOR SUCCESS. Those of you who know Coach Mosley from this year’s Rookie League or from the travel clinics he has been conducting for the Oceanport Knights over the past year are already aware of how well he knows how to teach the game and how positively the kids respond to him. When we asked for feedback about Coach Gerry's instruction from the Rookie League coaches and parents, the responses were all extremely positive. We have gotten the same feedback from the parents and players in the travel section. We're not looking to conduct a half day or full day camp that mixes 8th graders with 2nd graders. These streamlined one hour sessions will be designed to provide a strong, age appropriate fundamental basketball base for the participants. The Oceanport Basketball Association is subsidizing the cost of these clinics and limiting the scope of the potential attendees in order to ensure that the instruction at these clinics is as individualized as possible. In the decade that I have been involved with the Oceanport Basketball Association, this is the strongest our overall program has ever been. We believe that these clinics will enhance the children's rec basketball experience when we start our season in December. All sessions will be held at the Maple Place gymnasium. If there is sufficient interest, we will arrange for additional sessions the week of August 19th.
