We are halfway through our Off Campus School Basketball Preparatory Program with these boys.

The Off Campus School Basketball Preparatory Program is a comprehensive playbook designed by Coach Leo Aguinaldo, Club co-Founder and Operations Administrator. The on-court framework includes Focused Group Discussions (FGD); Dynamic (Plyometric) Workouts; Skills/Competency/Talent Enhancement; Team Core; and, Controlled Scrimmage, inspired by youth basketball pedagogy used by Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and Canada Basketball (CB).

The FGD is facilitated by Coach Leo Aguinaldo and Misty Rogerson, Club Volunteer Program Coordinator. This 20-minute huddle provides opportunities for athletes to hone their communication and leadership skills while understanding the beyond the court concepts of fundamentals, relationship, confidence, leadership, longterm develoment and chemistry among others. This initial part of the session eliminates toxic internal competition and fosters a supportive, inclusive team environment where every athlete's voice is encouraged to be heard.

The Plyometric Warmup is led by Coach Leo. The inclusion of plyometric warmup primes the central nervous system (CNS), wakes up fast-twitch muscle fibers, and prepares the athletes tendons to absorb and release explosive energy. Plyometric warmups also primes the mind to improve focus, motivation and readiness for high intensity activity.

The Skills Enhancement, Team Core and Controlled Scrimmage are led by Coach Rashon Russell, a former pro player who spent time in Europe (Greece), and also suited for the local college. He is currently a therapist at the Thorpe Recovery. Coach Rashon is the new addition to the club's spring-summer tournament program bench bosses.

Off Campus School Basketball Preparatory Program helps prepare athletes achieve High Performance during school basketball season.

In our first year, we have 11 athletes ready to compete for that spot in their respective school basketball teams comes November.

We wish all our athletes and their families another productive year in school.

Quick reminder to all to please watch school zones and be mindful of your speed. As the weather remains to be friendly, watch for kids walking, crossing streets, biking and riding scooters. Please put your phone away while driving. Do not get distracted.

Also, be very observant of children around parked vehicles; and stop for buses loading and unloading students. Watch for all signs and signals.

Lastly, be prepared to encounter new student drivers. Be patient. Leave a lot of room for travel to work or wherever you are going.

Be safe and be sound!!
