Review - HoopClinics Basketball Program

HoopClinics is an excellent new coaching resource that you should check out, especially if you are interested in the Flex offense, the Packline defense, the open-post (5-Out) motion offense, or the 2-2-1 full court press. You can check it for yourself and get a free clinic on the 2-2-1 Fullcourt Matchup Press by clicking here.

HoopClinics has taken coaching eBooks to a whole new level. By combining animated and video clinic breakdowns with eBooks, HoopClinics provides coaches with complete systems of play, from basic schemes to practice drills, special plays, wrinkles, and personnel-specific adjustments.

HoopClinics multimedia format digs down and covers every aspect of the topic at hand so that you can use the material to take action with your team right away. In addition to the traditional e-book format HoopClinics uses a new method of delivery that basketball coaches have not seen before. The HoopClinics membership sites allow members to view the screen casts as streaming online videos. This method of delivery for such extensive coaching clinics and information is new to the online basketball coaching community. They also offer lifetime members access for every clinic, as well as a windows/mac compatible CD - so that you'll be able to access the clinics at any time.

They even offer a free clinic, with lifetime members access, on the 2-2-1 Fullcourt Denial Press.

HoopClinics provides basketball coaches with a series of online basketball coaching clinics. Each of the four clinics presents a complete system of play with an organized way to teach that system. As opposed to simply gathering various disconnected pieces of information from various sources.

The main topics of the clinic are:

2-2-1 Full-Court Press
- includes 2-2-1 intro, 2-2-1 basics, 2-2-1 denial, drills and press-breakers, and the eBook.
Flex Offense
- includes Flex overview and intro, the basic Flex offense with entries and counters, eleven special plays, drills, and the eBook.
Pack Line Defense - Parts I and II include all the details of the defense, while Part III has the drills. An eBook is included.
Program Development - there is a detailed audio-video presentation, as well as the eBook.
Open Post Motion Offense - there is an intro and an overview of the 5-out offense, and sections on "getting open", "passers options", 5-out drills, 5-out special plays, animations snapshots, bonus video (which is excellent), and the eBook.

There are also webinars and additional bonus videos.

Again, the program will be delivered in multiple formats including audio, video, podcasts, narrated and animated video screen cast demonstration, and e-books. In addition to philosophies, youth basketball drills, and practice implementation ideas, a notable feature of the program is that it will include an interview with a college coach.
