Preseason Tune-Up Returning to Boston this Fall
Shooting Touch and Reebok Basketball are again teaming up to put on the 3rd annual Preseason Tune-Up, which is an intense six week program to get players ready for the upcoming season.
The program, which runs from Tuesday October 13th – Saturday November 21st, will feature both an invitational high school group (grades 10-12) as well as an invitational middle school group (grades 7-9).
Each session will be two hours long and include one hour of high intensity strength and conditioning training and another hour of basketball skills and drills. Once again the skills and drills will be conducted by a different high school head coach each session.
Each participant also receives a pair of Reebok sneakers.
High school players will train twice per week (Tuesdays and Saturdays) while middle school players will train on Saturdays only. The cost is $350/person for high school players and $175/person for middle school players. There is a maximum of 20 kids in each division.
Tuesday sessions will be held at Reebok World Headquarters in Canton, Massachusetts from 6:00p.m. – 8:00p.m. Saturday sessions are at the Boston Athletic Club in South Boston from 9:00a.m. to 11:30a.m.
Saturday sessions will also include guest speakers who will discuss subjects including nutrition, mental toughness, and entrepreneurship among others.
All nominations and questions should be directed towards Justin Kittredge. Justin can be reached at [email protected] or 617-784-0135.
