A better description for this event would be a "Clinic-League". You may ask then, what is a Clinic-League?
The answer lies in what is lacking for most programs available to these little beginners. As usual Bald Eagle takes the "typical program" and makes it epic. Instead of volunteer coaches, our Directors are paid professional coaches certified by the Positive Coaching Alliance. They are supported by our Assistant Coaches who are well-experienced college & high school players who are also trained by BE and Certified by PCA. All coaches follow a strategically designed program put together by our founder Coach Bob who has vast experience and education in basketball training and programming and also leads many of the clinics to keep a pulse to always improve our system.
Secondly, we teach skills through creative, expert-developed drills and fun competitions. The skills progress and build on each other week to week which maximizes growth and confidence, but you don't have to start on week 1 to join the process. Lastly, we don't put them on one team through the course of the league, we change their team each week so they get to meet and compete with/against a variety of players but maintain great coaching. During the games, we add in certain rules that enhance the experience for all players while also teaching the rules and sense of how to compete properly in the game.
The result is confidence, improvement, and passion for basketball! Every week players learn some fundamental skills and get to play in gently structured games. They will have a great time, get better and learn to love the game. That is our goal! So, if that is what you want for your kiddo, the Bald Eagle Rookie Clinic-League is for you!
