sports clinics

Skill-building athletic sessions

Sports clinics are instructional sessions focused on teaching or improving specific athletic skills, typically led by coaches or experienced players.

They range from one-day workshops to multi-week programs: The basketball camp offered shooting clinics each afternoon.

Unlike regular team practices, clinics concentrate on particular techniques—hitting, pitching, skating—and are often open to participants outside a team's roster.
