What this camp has to offer:
For the player, these special sessions are designed to improve a player’s offensive skills. This is a unique opportunity to learn about aggressive offensive skills. A player’s entire camp experience will be tailored to shooting, passing, ball handling, moving without the ball and one‐on‐one moves. This is all about YOUR offensive skills, so no full court games will be played (just one‐on‐one, two‐on‐two and three‐on‐three to practice what is taught).

  • Develop a confident attacking mindset.
  • Knowledge and understanding of the concepts of offensive basketball.
  • Identification, cause and correction of the most common fundamental errors.
  • Knowledge of the skills necessary to catch, shoot, dribble and attack on offense.

For the coach, this is an opportunity for you to learn all the drills and skills COBA uses to develop player’s basketball skills, athletic ability and mental toughness. Additional breakout sessions with Coach Oliver will also be scheduled to allow for more specific coaching development for all coaches in attendance. Notes are encouraged and your organization will be allowed to videotape sessions to help with continued coach and player development.

PHILOSOPHY:
2‐Day Elite COBA Player/Coach Development Sessions
Better basketball players and coaches are developed during the off‐season. However, it is common for players and coaches to put many hours into developing without maximizing their returns. Our development sessions will help you become a better basketball player and coach by developing and refining your basketball‐specific skills, athletic ability and knowledge.



COBA PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
is dedicated to providing superior instruction by experienced and enthusiastic coaches. We promote a fun and safe environment that encourages positive and purposeful learning experiences. We will focus on the development of individual skills that will aid athletes in competing successfully in a game environment; while building their confidence in a fun and motivating atmosphere. Our campers leave with a better sense of self and a better understanding of what it takes to be successful in basketball and, in turn, every aspect of life. We will address technical, tactical and applied aspects of basketball that will help a player develop their game beyond the level they are currently at.

COBA COACH DEVELOPMENT is dedicated to providing coaches with the necessary tools to develop their layer’s basketball‐specific fundamentals and athletic abilities. Coaches will be taught the advanced fundamental teachings of COBA from the physical aspect as well as the mental. Each drill will be broken down and explained so each coach will develop a clear understanding of the exact reasoning behind it. COBA teaching methodology and rationale will be explained. Coaches will also get access to the COBA coaches throughout the 2‐days for question and answers.

Our 2‐day camps are all co‐ed, unless requested differently. They are like none you've ever attended. They are physically and mentally challenging, but provide each player with the proper tools to elevate their game. These 2‐day camps build individual skills. There is no team scrimmaging. They are not a day‐care or a keep them happy camp — they are for serious players wanting to elevate their game. We work with you closely to design the camp that best suits your situation. Coach Oliver is the instructor and attends every camp.
