Rally Builders
Open
Ages 8 and up · Pineview
For players building the skills that hold up in a real match: reliable contact, rally consistency, and directional control under live conditions.
Most of the hour is live ball, players hitting with players, reading and reacting and deciding, rather than standing in line for basket feeds. Progress gets tracked with numbers players can see. Last week 6 out of 10 to the target, today 8 out of 10. That's not a compliment, that's a fact.
Tuesday 5:30 is full. Text 941-840-2571 and I'll add your player to the Tuesday list.
