ASC X ST PETER'S DEFENDER CAMP
With special guest coach Brett Maher
4x Olympian • NBL Champion • Adelaide 36ers Legend
Sunday 19 July | 1 pm - 5 pm
St Peter's College Gym, South Australia
While everyone wants to score, the athletes who consistently impact games know how to defend.
The St Peter's x ASC Defender Camp is designed for committed basketball athletes looking to develop the defensive skills, habits and mindset that separate good players from valuable players.
Led by ASC Head of Basketball Conner Henry, Founder & Managing Director Tom Giles and Managing Director Blake Ashby, with special guest Brett Maher, athletes will learn the principles of effective on-ball defence, defensive positioning, screen defence, communication, decision making and game impact.
Unlike traditional drill-focused camps, athletes will have the opportunity to apply these concepts through competitive gameplay environments, helping bridge the gap between learning a skill and executing it in a game.
