The PYBA (Peterborough Youth Basketball Association) is teaming up with NBA shooting coach Dave Love to offer shooting clinics for young area basketball players on December 14th in Peterborough as part of Love's "The Love of the Game" program.

Coach Love, who resides in Calgary, has worked on shooting with NBA teams including the Orlando Magic, Cleveland Cavaliers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Phoenix Suns. In addition, he was the University of Calgary shooting coach for nince seasons. Coach Love has worked with several NBA players including Canadians Tristan Thompson and Anthony Bennett.

Love runs shooting clinics around Canada and the United States. In these clinics, players will learn what each part of their body should be doing but also why they should be doing it. They will learn how positive power affects their shot and some drills that Coach Love does with NBA players to develop solid mechanics.

This clinic is for all basketball players ages 11 and older. It takes place December 14th at Crestwood Secondary. Space is limited. Cost is $44.99 and to register for the morning and afternoon sessions, click here and here.
