High Perception Hoops - High Perception Hoops Boys- Grades 3-8 Session 1
St. John’s Prep Basketball Coach Dave Clay along with High Perception Hoops Founder and Brooks Girls Basketball Coach Ben Chase are thrilled to announce that we will be running a Boys and Girls Basketball Clinics this summer. As former teammates at NHS, Coach Clay and Coach Chase relied on the outdoor courts throughout Newburyport to sharpen their skills. They are now looking to raise money through basketball clinics to help improve the outdoor basketball courts for current and future basketballplayers in our community.The basketball clinic will focus on players developing the fundamentals of the game through skill work, small sided games and 5v5 play. Along with learning the skills necessary to play basketball, all coaches will educate campers on the importance of being great teammates, communicating on/off the court with peers, competing at a high level and sportsmanship. It will be a fun learning environment that will challenge your son/daughter skills to help them raise the level of their game to become a complete basketball player. Players will leave camp with an understanding of how to put themselves through a workout along with an array of drills that they can incorporate into their own workouts. This will afford them the opportunity to be in control of their own basketball development.

They are now looking to raise money through basketball clinics to help improve the outdoor basketball courts for current and future basketballplayers in our community.The basketball clinic will focus on players developing the fundamentals of the game through skill work, small sided games and 5v5 play. Along with learning the skills necessary to play basketball, all coaches will educate campers on the importance of being great teammates, communicating on/off the court with peers, competing at a high level and sportsmanship. It will be a fun learning environment that will challenge your son/daughter skills to help them raise the level of their game to become a complete basketball player. Players will leave camp with an understanding of how to put themselves through a workout along with an array of drills that they can incorporate into their own workouts. This will afford them the opportunity to be in control of their own basketball development.

St. John’s Prep Basketball Coach Dave Clay along with High Perception Hoops Founder and Brooks Girls Basketball Coach Ben Chase are thrilled to announce that we will be running a Boys and Girls Basketball Clinics this summer. As former teammates at NHS, Coach Clay and Coach Chase relied on the outdoor courts throughout Newburyport to sharpen their skills. They are now looking to raise money through basketball clinics to help improve the outdoor basketball courts for current and future basketballplayers in our community.The basketball clinic will focus on players developing the fundamentals of the game through skill work, small sided games and 5v5 play. Along with learning the skills necessary to play basketball, all coaches will educate campers on the importance of being great teammates, communicating on/off the court with peers, competing at a high level and sportsmanship. It will be a fun learning environment that will challenge your son/daughter skills to help them raise the level of their game to become a complete basketball player. Players will leave camp with an understanding of how to put themselves through a workout along with an array of drills that they can incorporate into their own workouts. This will afford them the opportunity to be in control of their own basketball development.

High Perception Hoops - High Perception Hoops Boys- Grades 1-4
St. John’s Prep Basketball Coach Dave Clay along with High Perception Hoops Founder and Brooks Girls Basketball Coach Ben Chase are thrilled to announce that we will be running a Boys and Girls Basketball Clinics this summer. As former teammates at NHS, Coach Clay and Coach Chase relied on the outdoor courts throughout Newburyport to sharpen their skills. They are now looking to raise money through basketball clinics to help improve the outdoor basketball courts for current and future basketballplayers in our community.The basketball clinic will focus on players developing the fundamentals of the game through skill work, small sided games and 5v5 play. Along with learning the skills necessary to play basketball, all coaches will educate campers on the importance of being great teammates, communicating on/off the court with peers, competing at a high level and sportsmanship. It will be a fun learning environment that will challenge your son/daughter skills to help them raise the level of their game to become a complete basketball player. Players will leave camp with an understanding of how to put themselves through a workout along with an array of drills that they can incorporate into their own workouts. This will afford them the opportunity to be in control of their own basketball development.

Little Aces - Little Aces Session 2
Little Aces is a great first step into NYS programs for new families, and a favorite of some of our summer regulars.Designed as an early education program, a week in Little Aces is filled with elements your child will love. This year more than ever, we will focus on social and emotional health and connecting with peers.The program has a 1:5 ratio, giving lots of personal attention from our amazing teen and adult staff. The day is set up to create a predictable routine filled with circle time, outdoor play, art/ theme activities, games, snack time and free play.Little Aces runs indoors and out. This program also includes time for free play...Pure unstructured time with peers (where staff take a step back) where creativity and imagination are the boss, and important social skills are developed. Kids are encouraged to work out issues before asking an adult to help. When they do ask for help, Little Aces staff help guide them rather than fix it for them.Each week the books, activities and games are based on the theme.

They are now looking to raise money through basketball clinics to help improve the outdoor basketball courts for current and future basketballplayers in our community.The basketball clinic will focus on players developing the fundamentals of the game through skill work, small sided games and 5v5 play. Along with learning the skills necessary to play basketball, all coaches will educate campers on the importance of being great teammates, communicating on/off the court with peers, competing at a high level and sportsmanship. It will be a fun learning environment that will challenge your son/daughter skills to help them raise the level of their game to become a complete basketball player. Players will leave camp with an understanding of how to put themselves through a workout along with an array of drills that they can incorporate into their own workouts. This will afford them the opportunity to be in control of their own basketball development.

Along with learning the skills necessary to play basketball, all coaches will educate campers on the importance of being great teammates, communicating on/off the court with peers, competing at a high level and sportsmanship. It will be a fun learning environment that will challenge your son/daughter skills to help them raise the level of their game to become a complete basketball player. Players will leave camp with an understanding of how to put themselves through a workout along with an array of drills that they can incorporate into their own workouts. This will afford them the opportunity to be in control of their own basketball development.
