We are excited to announce the launch of the DRIVE Basketball Skill Lab!

The DRIVE Basketball Skill Lab will debut this July & August where it will run every Monday to Friday on the newly made courts outside the Richmond Oval.

The Skill Lab will provide instruction on specific moves and be tailored to teach specialized technical skills that can be transferred to game play.

Registration for the programs will begin soon when we announce our DRIVE Summer Camps! πŸ”₯πŸ™πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ€ #DriveFam
