Coach Poole Skills Clinics
Individual and small group training that starts with what's actually holding your game back — then goes and fixes it.
Training with a purpose
Skills Clinics are the heart of the academy. Every session is designed around the player in front of us — their position, their role on their team and the specific things standing between them and the next level.
Coach Eric Poole played at High Point High School, Division I basketball at the University of Richmond and professionally overseas. That path shapes how we teach: skill before scheme, the "why" behind every rep, and the standard that competitive basketball actually demands. Players don't just get workouts here — they get coaching.

How a Clinic Works
Evaluation
Session one is an honest look at where your player is — skill, athleticism, IQ and habits.
Focus plan
You leave with a written plan naming the two or three things that will move the needle most.
Repetition
Every session is built on game-speed reps with immediate correction, not drills for the sake of drills.
Transfer
We finish with live reads and situational work so the skill shows up on game day.
Book a clinic
