Summer skill
development trainings
Great players aren’t made during the season—they’re built during the summer. This July and August, I’ll be offering basketball skill development workouts at Oregon Episcopal School for middle school and high school athletes who are serious about improving their game.
📅 Middle School: Mondays 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm (July and August 2026)
📅 High School: Wednesday 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm (July and August 2026)
📍 Oregon Episcopal School • 6300 SW Nicol Rd • Portland, OR 97223
💰 $50 per workout
What we’ll focus on: 🏀 Shot Making & Finishing 🏀 Creating Separation 🏀 Primary & Secondary Moves
🏀 Ball Handling Under Pressure 🏀 Defensive Footwork & Positioning 🏀 Conditioning & Athletic Development
🏀 Basketball IQ & Game Situations 🏀 Strength, Confidence & Competitive Mindset
These workouts are intentionally kept to small groups to ensure athletes receive individualized instruction, detailed feedback, and plenty of repetitions. Each session combines skill development, game application, and live competition to help players build confidence and translate their training directly into game performance. Whether your goal is to make the team, earn more playing time, become a starter, or prepare for the next level, these workouts will provide a challenging, positive environment that promotes growth, accountability, leadership, and work ethic. Parents can expect a structured, high-energy training environment focused on player development both on and off the court. Let’s get to work this summer.
