DRIVE Spring & Summer Elite Team Tryouts 2010
(Phase I)
The objective of the Elite teams is to maximize the skill development of the players while also developing high quality teams that compete well locally, but also with the best teams in North America. DRIVE Elite players are all instructed on team concepts as well as team building. Players will take part in a variety of team events on and off the court. The aim is to provide the best training and competition possible. The selected players will receive individual training programs including individual basketball skill sessions, team practices, exhibition games, tournament play, elite level coaching and strength and conditioning sessions at the DRIVE Basketball Center.
The Spring & Summer Schedule for all teams will include:
* DRIVE Elite Training Centre (Led by Pasha Bains, Chad Clifford)
* DRIVE Development Training Centre (Led by Pasha Bains, Chad Clifford)
* Tournament & Game Schedule includes:
* Seattle AAU Circuit (Schedule will be provided to Elite Members)
* Multiple play-days with other Club Organizations
* Tournaments in the Lower Mainland
* DRIVE Basketball League Play
* Exhibition and Scrimmages
* Seattle Trueplayers Tournament
* Las Vegas Main Event and National Youth Championships
* DRIVE Banquet
The purpose of the training center is to further develop our individual & team skills as well as further prepare us for the Spring/Summer Exhibition and Tournament schedule.
The Elite Training Center curriculum will be designed to address specific individual and team areas that need improvement. We will be spending considerable time on our off/def pressure & attack, installing a new DRIVE "Motion" Offense, improving our overall strength & quickness, increasing the overall intensity with which we play. Our goal is to have the best training and competition to improve individually and as a group.
The Elite Training Center will be for U-13, U-14, U-15, U-16 & U-17.
This season we will be adjusting our age groups to allow for those born after Sept.1st to play "down". This will be a group decision between the coaches, parents and players.
This Elite Season DRIVE will also be having Recreational Teams for each age division. Players that are not selected to the Elite Training roster will train at the Development Training Center. The recreational teams will also get game competition in the form of playing other recreational teams from different organizations.
