Mr. Buckets Group Training

Grades 4-6: Co-ed

Grades 7-12: Boys and Girls sessions

Join us for a group training session led by Mr. Buckets at the LS YMCA, designed to elevate your game and sharpen your shot. Each one-hour session is packed with focused instruction to help players develop strong fundamentals and confidence from the ground up.

Athletes will work on proper shooting form, footwork, catch-and-shoot techniques, and how to read screens to get open. Through high-energy drills and skill-building reps, players will gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to become a consistent and effective shooter.

Whether your athlete is looking to build a solid foundation or take their shooting to the next level, this clinic provides a structured and motivating environment to grow their skills. Each session will challenge participants, push them to improve, and give them tools they can use beyond the gym.

Spots are limited—come get your reps in and get better with every shot!
