Hawks Basketball Academy hosts more than 500 coaches at 10th annual clinic
The Hawks Basketball Academy hosted more than 500 coaches Saturday at its 10th annual Jr. Hawks Coaches Clinic.
The clinic, which was presented by adidas, gave coaches of all levels the opportunity to learn from Atlanta Hawks coach Nate McMillan and his coaching staff.
“Partnering with adidas to put together this annual coaches clinic was very important for the Hawks. First, I would like to give a special thanks to Coach McMillan and the Hawks coaching staff who were tremendous today sharing years of wisdom and knowledge,” Hawks Vice President of Basketball Development Jon Babul said in a news release. “We hope that coaches in attendance feel energized, educated and empowered to go back to their gyms all over our state and deliver an enjoyable and positive basketball experience for thousands of youth.”
The clinic included drills focused on defense, shooting, offense and spacing. It finished with a Q&A session with McMillan.
