Raines Development

These programs are open to Boys entering 4th - 6th grade.


Soccer:
These sessions will be centered around specific fundamentals such as dribbling/ball control, first touch, passing, shooting, and defending. In the process of completing these drills, athletes will learn more about fitness and how important it is as you advance to new levels of the sport. A series of drills used by Coach Raines at the Junior Varsity level at BHS will be used to help enhance the skills of participants.
NEEDS: Participants should bring water, soccer cleats (flat shoes if forced to be indoors due to weather), and a soccer ball (if they have their own).
 


Basketball: There will be many different skill development drills used in these sessions to work on shooting, dribbling, passing, and defending. An emphasis on form/technique and getting as many high-quality repetitions as possible will be a priority. Footwork will be another focal point, as having good footwork can help athletes standout amongst their competitors. Different types of finishing/layup drills will be used to help develop shot-making ability and footwork.
NEEDS: Participants should bring water, basketball shoes (sneakers are totally fine), and a basketball (if they have their own).

Registration Deadline

  • 10 days prior to the start of the session.
  • A $10.00 late charge applies to all registrations after the deadline.
