Three typical formats (other timeframes can be arranged):
• Half-day, 4-hour “clinics”
• Two-day, 7-hour “camps”
• 3-Hour Swish Free Throw Clinics
To have clinics or camps in your area, Tom would need a minimum number of sessions set up, depending on the number of coaching days and the travel time and cost.
HALF-DAY, 4-HOUR CLINICS
For an experience in just one day, a 4-hour format gives Tom time to lead a slow, awareness-filled experience in learning. By the end, participants know fairly deeply what and how to practice and how to coach themselves. That's the only way this coaching is really going to stick! Tom can do one or two per day.
TWO-DAY CAMPS -- A POWERFUL FORMAT (Allows for deep learning!)
These are 7 hour, two-day experiences, with a suggested 3 1/2 hours the first day and 3 1/2 hours the second (other formats are also possible). The two-day experience gives the students an evening in between to watch the Swish DVDs, practice what they are learning, and develop questions to ask. The second day becomes magical as the kids get more deeply what's possible and learn additional ways to practice it and play with it. Tom can do two of these Camp formats in a two-day period, with two sessions per day, both a morning camp and an afternoon camp, for example.
THREE-HOUR FREE THROW CLINICS
Based on the new discoveries about Free Throws you'll find in Tom's latest video, Swish 3, you will learn a powerful way to approach this simple but confounding basketball shot. Also, the "Pre-Shot Routine" is addressed and the long, personalized PSR is challenged. Note that new discoveries and insights Tom had for Swish 3 apply equally well to your Jump Shot and 3 Pt Shot, too. All your shooting will improve!
IN A SHOOTING SESSION WITH TOM, YOU WILL EXPERIENCE:
- A simple and powerful way to learn & coach shooting!
- How to get Accuracy, Consistency & Repeatability -- the components of Great Shooting!
- How the concept of "Inertia" (Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion) applies to shooting a basketball!
- A simple approach to free throws -- "The Swish Free Throw!"
- Shooting off the dribble and using picks & screens
- How to coach yourself! (... the only way it's really going to work!)
- How to overcome pressure!
- A checklist to return to when your shooting is off!
- How to practice, and some creative games/exercises!
- Personal attention to correct form & technique
Bring your own basketball, water to drink, and energy snacks, if you can. Thanks.

PLEASE NOTE: The minimum age for this training is 10-11, though younger players may be accepted with special permission. Call us for that decision. Kids just need a certain level of strength and maturity as basketball players to really "get" what Tom is teaching. He can teach any age, but it takes more personal attention if the child is lacking those qualities. If a parent can be there to assist at each step, then it could work. NOTE ALSO: Team discounts are available! If you have three or more players, call us and we'll give you a special price: 888/794-7422.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Clinics and camps generally have a maximum of 24 kids, giving enough time for lots of individual coaching in addition to the group exercises. The two-day camp s is especially powerful because the kids are asked to view a video overnight, and the next day we have remarkable learning as the previous day's lessons are put into additional practical use. The Free Throw option is a quick, lower-cost way to get a player or team into high performance from the Line, and what's learned will be transferable to the Jumper and 3-pt shot.
Note that a school or basketball association could engage Tom to coach their team or a couple teams for an extended period for the flat rate. Call for details and to set up such a visit. While in the area, he can do private sessions and train coaches to coach the Method. Scholarships are available.
Keep checking this Website or call or Email Tom if you'd like more details. We'll update the schedule on this Website when it changes.
PRIVATE COACHING
Tom is available for private coaching in the Bay Area of California. He lives near San Jose and Santa Cruz in northern California. Call (888-SWISH-22) or Email him for further information.
PRIVATE SESSIONS IN BOULDER CREEK
Tom also gives private sessions near where he lives in Boulder Creek, California (an hour from San Jose) where the cost is less. Call him if you want to know more about this. Thanks!

TRAINING COACHES TO COACH THE SWISH METHOD!
EBOOK AVAILABLE!
I think you know that a big part of my future is in training coaches to teach this approach around the world. Consider becoming a shooting coach yourself. Wouldn't THAT be something? It's possible, and I now have a 58-page eBook that details all the things I coach, step by step. If you view it On Line, you will have access to photos and 33 video clips to support the words. See my “Coaching” page for details -- click on “You can become a Swish Shooting Coach.”
An eCourse that introduces and explains the background of the eBook is in progress, and it is also the first step in a process of Certification in the Swish way of coaching shooting.
To become proficient in coaching this Method, the first step is to get the Swish videos (both Swish and Swish 2) and take on shooting yourself. The more you can do it (at least be on the path so you can talk from "experience," not just theory), the better the coach you will become. Also, sign up for the Coaches' Mailing List and print out the "Homework" he offers on the "Coaching" page to get you started!
