Dare Mighty Things
Enclosed you will find a summer schedule and camp registration forms. This year we will be attending Eastern Ohio Basketball Camp in Sherrodsville, OH, June 19th through June 21st. I want to stress this is NOT mandatory. I understand it is a big financial commitment, so there will be plenty of other opportunities for your child to play, improve, and bond with teammates before tryouts begin in the fall. If, however, you do want to send your child, please fill out the attached camp application and return it to Coach Booth with payment. Be sure to sign the Insurance Waiver and Release, as well.
For ease of identification, we will refer to summer basketball teams as Freshman, JV, and Varsity. These will primarily be divided by grade level. However, participation in summer basketball and/or attendance at camp DOES NOT guarantee you will make ANY of these teams in the fall. Furthermore, participation in years past DOES NOT guarantee you will make the team this fall.
SHERIDAN GENERALS BOYS BASKETBALL CAMP:
All boys grades 10-12 (grade you’ll be next year) interested in playing summer basketball must work the Sheridan Basketball Camp June 3rd – 5th. Current and past players passing along their passion and knowledge are integral parts of establishing a championship program, so we take this responsibility seriously.
SUMMER LEAGUE
The upperclassmen will be participating in a summer league at USA Sports Academy in Columbus on Tuesday nights. The address is 4185 E 5th Ave Columbus, OH 43219. (614) 235-7529.
We have prepared another challenging summer schedule where we will see quality opponents. Our recent success continues to raise the bar. Competition for roster spots will be intense; competition for playing time will be even harder. Outwork everybody. We must be and will be the hardest working program around. Champions have no off-season. You can’t win championships in the summer…but you can lose them. Do not sit on your butt all summer and then wonder why you’re doing the same during the winter. You should be playing basketball EVERYDAY.

SUMMER SKILLS INDIVIDUAL WORKOUT
Drill—10 Freethrows—Record—Repeat
The workout is simple. Push yourself hard on a particular drill that lasts 1-2 minutes, then shoot 10 free throws. Record your results. Repeat. Ideally each workout will consist of ten different drills and 100 free throws. It will take 45 minutes to an hour.
Goals & Accountability
At the beginning of your workout you should set a goal for your total free throw percentage, and then at the end of the workout run or do drills if you come up short. (For example, if your goal is to make 95/100 free throws, and you only make 90 free throws you do 5 sprints, ladders, etc at the end.) This helps create some pressure and makes your workout more game-like. You can also reward yourself with something when you reach your workout goals. You should set goals for particular drills along with your free throw percentage goal. Self-evaluation is critical, and if you hold yourself accountable you will see much better results.
Keep Track of Your Workouts
You will need to bring your workout chart and a pen when you come to the gym. At the conclusion of your workout, write down your total number of free throws made on the tracking sheet, along with the date of your workout.
At the end of the summer, all players will turn in their individual workout charts. The players who have completed a minimum of 3 skills workouts and 3 weights workouts/week will be in the IronMan Club and receive a shirt.
The recommended drills are explained on the next three pages, followed by the workout charts.
EVERYDAY:
- If you expect to see the floor next year, I expect you to jump rope and do calf raises EVERYDAY.
- We are not nearly quick enough as a team to win a state title. Our skill is decent; our quickness is not.
- I want all five guys on the floor to think quicker and move quicker than any opponent we play next year.
- Work on your outside shot
- Work on beating people off the dribble.
“Some of you are going to make it because you have the self-discipline to separate yourself from your peers even though self-discipline is an extraordinarily uncomfortable state . . . it is not easy for ordinary people. Most of us are rather ordinary so most of us will not really attain our potential. It is just too hard to invest in being the best. Most of us would rather be comfortable. But please understand being ordinary is not an indictment it is a choice.”
