Players can choose from two specialised clinic streams: Passing & Finishing, focused on creating opportunities and scoring effectively around the basket; and Shooting & Defence, targeting confident shooting and stronger one-on-one defence. Each stream combines detailed skill development with game-based drills that challenge players to apply what they learn under pressure.
Passing & Finishing
A focused skills clinic designed to help players become more confident and effective with the ball.

Key areas include:
- Shooting technique and footwork
