The Lake Belton Girls Basketball program hosted a highly successful Court Side Connections clinic on January 29 at the Bronco Gymnasium. Designed for girls in 2nd to 6th grade and their parents, the event focused on building basketball fundamentals in an engaging and accessible way.

What made this clinic unique was its approach—led by parents within the program who actively work with their children to develop basketball skills at home. These dedicated parents shared their experiences and demonstrated how effective training doesn’t require expensive equipment or elite facilities. Instead, simple, practical drills that can be done in the backyard or driveway were emphasized, reinforcing the idea that skill development starts at home.

Throughout the session, parents and players worked together on fundamental basketball skills, including dribbling, shooting, and passing. The interactive format allowed parents to ask questions and gain insight into how they can best support their child’s growth in the sport. Coaches and experienced basketball parents provided valuable tips and techniques, ensuring that everyone left the clinic with newfound confidence and motivation.

The turnout and energy at the event showcased the community’s enthusiasm for youth basketball development. Parents expressed appreciation for the opportunity to learn hands-on coaching strategies, and young athletes left feeling more connected with their families through the game they love.

The Court Side Connections clinic served as a reminder that basketball development doesn’t just happen in the gym—it starts at home with engaged and supportive parents. Lake Belton Girls Basketball looks forward to continuing this tradition and helping families foster both skill growth and a love for the game.
