Basics Spring Teams

April to June: NO TRAVEL

Our Spring Team model was founded in 2011 on the premise that traveling and time away from practice in the OFF SEASON is wasted time. Basics Spring Team trainings emphasize the FULL DEVELOPMENT of the player/team/program on and off the court. The teams are designed to improve skill development, confidence and prepare players for school-related try outs, teams and competition.

Basics Coach Sophia Wiard

She led D1 Toledo to a 29-5 record this year, a berth in the Big Dance, and a win over Iowa State in the 1st round before losing to Tennessee in the 2nd round. We are excited she will assist with Coach McGannon’s MS and HS Girls’ Lakeshore teams. Sophia is also available for private training.
