Mesa Men's Basketball Hosting "Day on Offense" Clinic

Mesa men’s basketball is continuing to spread their name within the community and is offering a great opportunity for coaches to learn from some local legends.  After the successful “Day on Defense” last year and a 2010 Region I Championship, the coaching staff has put together another outstanding clinic.

The “Day on Offense” coaching clinic will be taught by coaching greats Royce Youree and Tom Bennett.  The clinic will be Saturday, October 16, 2010 in the Theo Heap Gym on the Mesa campus.  It will run from 8 am to 1 pm.  For coaches looking to learn from two hall-of-famers, this opportunity cannot be missed.

The clinic will focus on offensive skill development facing the basket and with a player’s back to the basket.  Time will be spent on building a transition offense, and principles of man and zone offense.

The Arizona Republic named Coach Youree its “Coach of the Century.”  In his time as head coach at East High, 1969-1982, he posted a 301-56 record and was nationally ranked eight times.  He coached USA to a gold medal in the 1978 World Junior Games and was a hall-of-fame player at Arizona State.

Tom Bennett spent 19 years leading the Mesa T-Birds, 1976-1994, 1995-1996, and finished with a record of 442-164 and 9 ACCAC Championships.  He is a member of the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, was voted NJCAA Coach of the Year, and coached Gilbert High School to the 2003 5A State Championship.

The clinic cost breakdown is as follows.  One coach is $75, two coaches from the same school are $65 per coach, and three or more coaches from the same school are $50 per coach. 

For more information please contact Mesa assistant coach Mike Grothaus at 480-461-7540, or 480-245-8518.  Email: michael.james.grothaus@mcmail.maricopa.edu

Inner-city Youth Focused Organization Mixes Community Outreach with Basketball

The Chainlink Fundamentals organization wrapped up a five-week training session with New York inner-city youth basketball players.  The final reward?  A workout at famed Rucker Park as part of Nike's World of Baskeball Festival.

Chainlink Fundamentals is a free program for inner city youth which uses local playgrounds as coaching tools to improve their game.  In anticipation of the World Basketball Festival, the organization set up shop in New York and worked with hundreds of kids over the summer.  A select few were chosen to participate at Rucker-under the watchful eye of Kobe, arguably the best player in the world.

Currently there are thousands of children of all ages on the playground playing the game, but most are doing so without possessing the basic and necessary tools to succeed at basketball.

A select few are priviliged enough to get noticed or have a coach in the family to teach them these skills, but the vast majority are left behind on the playground with nothing but dreams of making it not just to the lofty heights of the NBA, but also, simply making it to their local school teams.

Enter Chainlink Fundamentals.  They seek to provide top-notch coaching to any and every kid that goes to their program and, most importantly, they seek to do this free of charge in comparison to other skill camps or clinics that may cost hundreds of dollars that inner-city families just don't have.
