Coach Mike Gordensky has put together a two-day coaching clinic on Saturday, October 3 and Sunday October 4.

It will feature a number of NCAA and CIS coaches from top universities in the United States and Canada.

This clinic is ideal for anyone coaching girls or boys in college, high school, elementary school, OBA, AAU or house league. The purpose of the clinic is to provide coaches with the opportunity to improve their techniques and knowledge which will in turn help the athletes they are coaching.

The cost will be $100.00 for the two-days and will include lunch on Sunday.

Looks like a great clinic Coach! I will definitely be there....wait...what is the lunch?

Coach Melnik

It is a clinic for coaches not players.

A couple of updates on behalf of Coach Gordensky.

1. For those who will be registering on Saturday: please show up between 7:30 - 8:30 am to register.

2. This will not be a clinic where the coaches are asked to participate.. You will be sitting in the bleachers while the coaches present....you will NOT be required to be volunteers on the court!

Looking forward to this!
