AFTER SCHOOL BASKETBALL in Laguna Beach
Join Our Fall After School Session: September - November
About CORE Basketball
Classes are designed for kids of all ages and skill levels who want to develop their basketball skills and improve their abilities in a fun, supportive, and high-energy environment. Through expert coaching and age-appropriate lesson plans, programs are designed to strengthen and accelerate the learning process graduating kids from Intro Class to Leagues to Performance Class.
Each session includes a combination of skill instruction, concept development, engaging drills, and situational training to put new knowledge into practice. All players are taught key fundamentals such as footwork, dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense, while more experienced players are introduced to advanced court and team concepts such as man-to-man, zone and help defenses.
Classes are structured to meet each athlete where they are with small groups organized by age and experience ensuring personalized attention and a positive peer-to-peer dynamic.
