What makes AOC coaching clinics unique?
We’ve created a unique blend of world-class coaches, court demonstrations and attendee interaction, and wrapped it up in an entertaining educational experience. We guarantee you’ll have a blast and take away new ideas you can try with your team immediately!
The experience and expertise of our clinicians
AOC’s three founding coaches and lead clinicians (Terry Liskevych, Russ Rose and John Dunning) have over 40 years of coaching experience each, plus 12 NCAA titles and 3 Olympic Games between them. Add top college, high school, club and national team coaches into the mix and you get to learn the secrets behind some of the most successful coaches in the game today.
Our belief that there's no 'one-size-fits-all' way to teach the game
AOC clinicians share the knowledge they’ve acquired over years of coaching while emphasizing that there are many ways to be a good coach and what works for one coach may not work for you and your team. There’s a lot of room for creativity and tinkering in coaching, so every AOC clinic provides a steady flow of good ideas from expert sources that each coach can use to chart their own path.
The interactivity between clinicians and attendees
Our clinicians create a comfortable climate where you can ask them questions about your own team and chat with them one-on-one throughout the clinic. AOC clinicians have a wide range of coaching styles and personalities, so you get the opportunity to pick the brains of an assortment of exceptional coaches with different points of view.
The camaraderie between clinicians
There’s a sense of team that you get from attending an AOC clinic. You’ll see five or six coaches from various levels coming from all over the country to share differing (and sometimes contradicting) philosophies, techniques, drills and tactics with the main goal of helping you become a more confident coach and arming you with a plethora of new ideas to try with your team. Oh, and we guarantee we’ll get some laughs out of you throughout the clinic. Our clinicians tend to have a blast presenting together and keeping you entertained while they share their knowledge.
