than anyone can run.
The full month. Eight coached sessions, the homework lab, the leaderboard and every award in play. October is built on the 2005–2012 San Antonio teams that won with the pass, the cut and the open shot — and it teaches the same four things, one a week.
An evolution phase, not a camp. A camp ends; this rolls into November.
Registration opens Wednesday, September 23 at 3:00 PM PT.
Deliver it. Move without it. Swing it. Finish it. Both sessions of a week share one pillar, and that week’s homework drills carry it home.
chest, bounce, overhead, push pass off the dribble. pass fakes. hitting a moving target. the mirror rep is catching ready — hands up, feet set, eyes up.
basket cuts, back cuts, relocating after the pass, setting and using a screen, holding your spot. pass and move, never pass and watch.
catch and decide in half a second. swing it, skip it, drive and kick. pass up the good shot for the great one.
finishing what movement creates: layups off cuts, give-and-go, catch and finish through traffic, 2-on-1 and run-outs. then The River Parade.
Mondays and Wednesdays, 5:30–7:00 PM. Doors at 5:15.
Oct 5 · 7 · 12 · 14 · 19 · 21 · 26 · 28 — The River Parade, championship and awards night, with the Champions Wall updated before you leave the building.
Mon Oct 12 is Columbus Day — the gym is open and session 3 runs as scheduled.
Rookie Lab — guidance ages 7–9, Coach Adrian Mercado, NASM-CPT. Two-hand passing that arrives where it is aimed, catching ready, basket cuts and the give-and-go, layups off the cut with either hand.
Rotation Lab — guidance ages 10–14, Coach Jaire Roberts. Push passes and pass fakes off the drive, back cuts against the overplay, the half-second decision, finishing in traffic and in transition.
The age ranges are a guide. The coaches place your athlete where they will actually be pushed — on night one. KJ Johnson and Kwe Riddles are on the floor with both labs.
Eleven solo drills that drop between sessions. A ball, a hoop, a wall, a chair. Your athlete films each one at home, names the file, and uploads it — a coach grades it out of 100, and every drill is worth up to 10 leaderboard points.
First drop Thursday, October 8. Last drill due Sunday, October 25, three days before The River Parade so every grade is on the board for awards night.
