Two typical formats (other timeframes can be arranged):
• Half-day, 4-hour “clinics”
• Two-day, 7-hour “camps”
To have clinics or camps in your area, Tom would need a guaranteed minimum fee, depending on the number of coaching days and the travel time and cost.
HALF-DAY, 4-HOUR CLINICS
For an experience in just one day, a 4-hour format gives Tom time to lead a slow, awareness-filled experience in learning. By the end, participants know fairly deeply what and how to practice and how to coach themselves. That’s the only way this coaching is really going to stick! Tom can do one or two per day.
TWO-DAY CAMPS – *** A POWERFUL FORMAT*** (Allows for deep learning!)
These are 7 hour, two-day experiences, with a suggested 3 1/2 hours the first day and 3 1/2 hours the second (other formats are also possible). The two-day experience gives the students an evening in between to watch the Swish DVDs, practice what they are learning, and develop questions to ask. The second day becomes magical as the kids get more deeply what’s possible and learn additional ways to practice it and play with it. Tom can do two of these Camp formats in a two-day period, with two sessions per day, both a morning camp and an afternoon camp, for example.
IN A SHOOTING SESSION WITH TOM, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE:
- A simple and powerful way to learn & coach shooting!
- How to get Accuracy, Consistency & Repeatability -- the components of Great Shooting!
- A simple approach to free throws -- "The Swish Free Throw!"
- Shooting off the dribble and using picks & screens
- How to coach yourself! (... the only way it's really going to work!)
- How to overcome pressure!
- A checklist to return to when your shooting is off!
- How to practice, and some creative games/exercises!
- Personal attention to correct form & technique
Bring your own basketball and water to drink, if possible. Thanks.

Clinics & Camps now available!
PLEASE NOTE: The minimum age for this training is 11, though younger players may be accepted with special permission. Call Tom for that: 888/794-7422. Kids just need a certain level of strength and maturity as basketball players to really "get" what Tom is teaching. He can teach any age, but it takes more personal attention if the child is lacking those qualities. If a parent can be there to assist at each step, then it could work.
NOTE ALSO: Team discounts are available! If you have three or more players, call us and we'll give you a special price: 888/794-7422

GENERAL INFORMATION
Clinics and camps generally have a maximum of 24 kids, giving enough time for lots of individual coaching in addition to the group exercises. The two-day camp s is especially powerful because the kids are asked to view the video overnight and the next day we have incredible learning as the previous day's lessons are put into additional practical use. The Free Throw option is a quick, lower-cost way to get a player or team into high performance from the Line, and what's learned will be transferable to the Jumper and 3-pt shot.
Note that a school or basketball association could engage Tom to coach their team or a couple teams for an extended period for the flat rate. Call for details and to set up such a visit. While in the area, he can do private sessions and train coaches to coach the Method. Scholarships are available.
Keep checking this Website or call or Email Tom if you'd like more details. We'll update the schedule on this Website when it changes.

TRAINING COACHES TO COACH THE SWISH METHOD
Tom is committed to training coaches in this approach to shooting. He will be developing more lesson plans when he has the time. His blockbuster second DVD, "Swish 2 -- Learning and Coaching the Swish Method," is now available. To become proficient in coaching this Method, the first step is to get the Swish videos (both Swish and Swish 2) and take on shooting yourself. The more you can do it, the better the coach you will become.
Visit the "For Coaches" page here on our website. Tom will update this section with coaching ideas, suggestions, things to be aware of, and lesson plans. The first step you can do is sign up for the Coaches' Mailing List and print out the "homework" he offers there to get you started!
