Pro Hoops Camp


Although it seems to have started off a little strangely I have heard lots of good things about Pro-Hoops.

No early dropoff, no aftercare and the location changed kind of last minutey all of which left me with very hectic, pre-work, shuttle-bus duties. Inconvenient. Not happy. It will all work itself out.

Today is GraceAnne's first day at Pro-Hoops camp. Pro-Hoops founder is Jay Hernandez who played with Speedy Claxton at Hofstra. Wally Szerbiak who played for Cold Spring Harbor Highschool and is a current NBA player trains with him. Bethany LeSueur is running this camp and Grace has at least 4 Hudson Storm teammates attending with her. That should be fun.


Bethany LeSueur played at Georgetown after graduating from Garden City Highschool where she led them to THREE Long Island championships. She remains Long Island's all time leading scorer with 3,167 points. Which all means she's crazy good.

Hope GraceAnne has fun and that the camp itself is as good as folks say it is.

Grace was in full Georgetown regalia this morning, shorts, t-shirt and matching shoes. Looked like she meant business. Hudson Storm game tonight against Our Lady of Hope.... Grace will be tired.

It does put pressure on your post players and can expose the corners. Basic Rotations and Positions of the 3-2 (1-2-2) zone Starting Positions    Ball on wing: Defender 3 comes out to guard the ball. Defender 1 drops down to the high post area.    Ball in corner: Defender 5 goes out to guard the ball. Defender 4 slides over to defend the low post. Defender 2 drops down to either defend the opposite low block or the wing if a skip pass is thrown. Defender 1 defends the high post area. Defender 3 can either sink in to stop penetration or apply pressure b...
