What is Athlinics?We're more than a sports clinic — we're a nationwide bridge connecting youth athletes (as players) to college athletes (as coaches). At Athlinics, our mission is threefold: Improve, Develop, Educate. Our focus is on honing skills, fostering personal growth, and imparting valuable insights about the next step in the athletic journey.
-
What is the normal structure of a clinic?Our clinic model is well tested with continuous proven success. We run a rotational program where participants are divided into appropriate groups dependent on age and skill level. Each group will have the opportunity to work with each collegiate athlete/coach. With every rotation, a coach focuses on improving a specific skillset (ball handling, dribbling, finishing/shooting, defensive work, etc.). For the remainder of our clinic, we run a small session of scrimmages followed by our educational portion that includes group conversations with Q&A.
-
Are youth participants organized by age and skill level?Yes! We take into account each participant’s age and skill level to form smaller groups that are appropriate for each individual.
