Announcements
High School Basketball Clinic at UWM Sports Complex, Pontiac
Per the MHSAA, the two weeks prior to high school tryouts are considered a "dead period" where the teams cannot participate in workouts organized by their schools. With that in mind, FAST-D will be hosting a clinic for any and all high schooler players to help them ready themselves for tryouts.
The focus will be on individual skill development and leadership enhancement. This is open to all so please feel free to extend the invitation to any players you feel may benefit from the gym time.
