2022 basketball SKILLS
ORYA’s skills sessions have been developed as part of ORYA’s Basketball’s new dedication to year ’round development. Creating a solid pathway for player development, ORYA Basketball hopes to give every player the core skills set and confidence to compete at the high school level.
Unlike ORYA’s regular season program which builds from skill work to game-play scenarios, this program will focus exclusively on individual skill with the ball. Developing ball handling skills, offensive moves and shot mechanics will be primary goal of the program. All sessions will be led by Coach Jason Campbell.
