On The Bounce
Jun
15
to Jun 19

On The Bounce

Aerial ball control is one of the most frequently occurring skills in the game. It's also one of the least trained.

On The Bounce is five days of focused, technical work built entirely around receiving the ball from height — first touch, chest control, and composure under pressure. Small groups. High standards. The kind of detail that shows up when it matters.

Event: June 15–19 | Ages 7–15 (boys) • 7–17 (girls) 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM | The Vortex

Registration Closed. Note: The previously scheduled ‘Week 2’ has been combined with ‘Week 1’.
