NLW Class Descriptions

#1 Ball Flow

Escaping Pressure with speed, creativity, and unpredictability is a skill that every great player possesses.  This class will teach individual skills that will help a player maneuver through tight spaces. It will also improve a player’s decision making on and off the ball in high pressure situations! Focusing on quick combinations in various parts of the field in limited space will also be addressed.
