JLT Fieldhouse, Basketball Without Boundaries
We Are Taking Flight!
|
|
|
As many of you have seen by now, the Salisbury Post article about our mission. If not, you can read it here. Timing is everything and JLT Fieldhouse, Inc. is now getting the exposure to let others know of our dedication and commitment to helping the youth of Salisbury and Rowan County.
Over the past two weeks, I have met separately with Steve Clark with Salisbury Parks and Rec and Executive Director Richard Reinholz with the Hurley YMCA to discuss expanding our programming to reach more young boys and girls. The initial meetings went very well and now the three of us will be meeting again soon to nail down our collective efforts enhance all three organizations ability to service the community in positive manner.
The next step is getting to keep that exposure visible and growing! I am in communications with a photographer to schedule a photo shoot, group, individual and action shots for us to use for future marketing and social media. I am hoping to schedule this photo shoot sometime in February, on a Sunday when we have our largest turnout. I would love for all of our regular weekly participants of clinics and private lessons to have JLT t shirts and jerseys. We have recently built up our inventory and will have most of them with me the next couple of weekends. See next section to view available colors.

Lady Power!
The ladies participation has increased over the past month, and it is very exciting to see! The Saturday beginner clinic, the Saturday intermediate clinic and the coed Sunday clinics has seen the young ladies are just as eager, to improve their skills and competitiveness! I was really excited to see the number of girls that were at the clinic and open gym last week and hope that it continues. Word of mouth has been our best form of marketing thus far and appreciate you all spreading the word, so keep it up!

The Importance of Quality Off-Season Training
Off-season training is one area where athletes can get a tremendous bang for their buck. The bulk of your work should be done in the off-season. This work helps establish a base for the future. The conditioning work done in the off-season provides the base for the higher-intensity demands to come in the pre-season and competitive seasons. The improvement of general strength creates the potential to sprint faster, jump higher, and throw harder during the competitive season. You simply cannot build these qualities in the middle of a competitive season. Instead, you must build these qualities in the off-season so they can be expressed during the competitive season.
A few important off season points to focus on:
- Commit to Skill Development
- Get Athletic and Efficient
- Make the most of this time, because your results could determine whether you lead your team or blend into the pack this upcoming season

We Are a Year Round Operation
Our dedication to you is not just "during" basketball season. We know what it takes to be the best you can be. Even attending weekly private lessons and clinics is not going to get you where you need to be. There has to be a commitment almost daily to separate yourselves from the average player. The following drills require 5 to 10 minutes a day to improve a skill set:
1- Ball Handling
a) right hand dribble
b) left hand dribble
c) two ball dribble
d) ball wraps
e) crossover dribble
f) behind the back dribble
g) wall dribbling (right and left hand)
2- Shooting (record your results daily
a) 25 free throws
b) 25 elbow jump shots
c) "X Out' drill (layup drill)
d) block to block shooting
e) Sweep, dribble, shoot (right & left)
3- Defense
a) defensive slides
b) help and recover
c) one on one turn drill (need a partner)
Coach T has shot charts available for those interested, coacht@jltfieldhouse.com

I want to thank Salisbury Academy's Head of School, Beverly Fowler for your belief in JLT Fieldhouse, as we would not have grown as we have without your support. It seems like it was just yesterday that reached to her to discuss the possibility of beginning this venture. Who knew that just over two years later, we would be providing lessons and instruction to over 125 kids in our community?
We are very appreciative of her leadership and look forward to a long relationship with Salisbury Academy!
Coach T
