coaching clinics

Instructional sports gatherings

Coaching clinics are instructional sessions where athletes learn skills and techniques from coaches, typically in a group setting over a short period.

Unlike ongoing team practices, clinics are often one-time or weekend events focused on specific fundamentals: The basketball coaching clinic covered shooting mechanics and defensive footwork.

They're common in youth sports and for coaches seeking to improve their own teaching methods.
