David Hope Specialized Small-Group Training

2026 Winter Co-Ed Specialized Small-Group training offered by Silver Knights Basketball Club:  Eight 90-minute training sessions

INSTRUCTOR: David Hope (Training on Thursday Evenings in Richmond Hill)

David Hope, former collegiate player, as well as, experienced and certified coach, instructor and clinician will be offering co-ed small-group training opportunities for boys and girls (Grades 5 to 8). The program is designed to not only improve a player’s individual offensive skills and help players become better teammates and play with more confidence, more intelligence and more character.

Each player will be evaluated at the beginning of the session and progress will be monitored. Valuable and comprehensive feedback will be provided throughout each session.

Moreover, this program will be devoted to the individual hoopster’s level of skills and play.

David will provide training for Grades 5 to 8 (girls and boys) with a group of no more than 6 players per session. These sessions are designed to instill the necessary fundamental skills and concepts essential for success.  If players are advanced, these sessions are designed to reinforce and expand on the fundamentals skills necessary to bring a player’s game to their next level.
