Summary: Mr. Andrew Ellis, Heritage High School basketball coach, would like to attend the Nike Championship Basketball Clinic in Las Vegas, Nevada, April 28-30, 2017.

The 2017 Nike Championship Basketball Clinic is a clinic for coaches sponsored by NIKE where premier college, pro, high school and Hall of Fame hoop coaches go to learn from and help each other. This conference is specialized to help coaches with their specific needs and help them develop their student/athletes. The 2017 Nike Championship Basketball Clinics are only offered in these areas: Kansas City, MO, Myrtle Beach, SC, Chicago, IL, Biloxi, MS, and Las Vegas, Nevada. The Nike Clinic is the largest basketball coaches conference on the west coast and features the top college coaches as the professional clinicians.

The Nike Clinic is an awesome opportunity to grow as a coach and learn to enhance the experience for basketball student/athletes.

This conference has an outstanding lineup of speakers from around the country. Some of the topics over the three days are:

“Pre-Season and Pre-Practice Drills”, “Rebounding Drills and Special Situations: Out-of-Bounds Plays and Last-Second Winners”, “Our Pressure Defense - Philosophy and Drills”, “Offensive Sets”, “Game-Like Shooting Drills”, “Transition Defense”, “The Sooner Man-to-Man Offensive Philosophy and Fundamentals”, “Building Your Defense”, “Zone Offense”, “Positionless Offense: Creating and Exploiting Mismatches through Motion and Sets”, “Practice Drills to Improve Your Team” and many more.

As this is such a great opportunity, Mr. Ellis is asking only for the cost of registration to be paid which is $155. All other costs (hotel, mileage, meals) are being paid by Mr. Ellis.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2016-17 operating budget
