Coaches will get the opportunity to watch the Rockets players put through their paces by the coaching team as well as see the Berkshire outfit in action against Seattle University, the game taking place on Tuesday 23rd August at 7.30pm. There will also be a chance for coaches to be part of some of the training sessions as well as be involved in a classroom clinic on the Wednesday that will look at planning pre-season and practices as well as loading for players and a question and answer session. Finally, coaches will be transported to and from the Top 50 Deng Camp which sees three Rockets academy players, Fidel Gomez de Enterria Lopez, Ibu Jassey Demba, and Ali Sbai all participating in the five day camp against 47 of the top Under 20 players in Great Britain who will come together and compete for the number one spot.<\/p>\n<p>Over the three days, all coaches will have a chance to have lunch with the current Rockets coaches and talk about many different topics in a basketball environment that is working hard to be more professional and successful in what and how it delivers on the court and the way the club runs and manages its ever growing personnel off it. Below is a complete itinerary for the three days and Rockets Head Coach Manuel Pe\u00f1a Garc\u00e9s feels this is a great opportunity and is looking forward to welcoming all coaches to Reading. The Spaniard said,<\/p>\n<p>[su_quote]This is a new idea for us but something we feel is really important as we look to improve as coaches and get to spend some time together before the season starts to talk about all things basketball, especially the pre-season as this is one of the most important parts of the year for any team. We have a lot to offer over the three days and I think that coaches who visit us will have a great time and will enjoy all that we have to offer. It is a great opportunity for our club as well because we can talk with a lot of different people and share good practice at the same time as getting our players ready for the start of the 2016-2017 season. We are really excited and hope that many coaches will be able to join us during this time.[\/su_quote]<\/p>\n<p>All coaches wishing to book on to the Rockets coaching clinic should call the Basketball Hotline on 0118 926 3040 or email <a href=\"mailto:admin@readingrockets.co.uk\">admin@readingrockets.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reading Rockets will commence their pre-season preparations next week (from Monday 22nd August) and will combine the start of their training camp with a coaching clinic that will be led by the club\u2019s Head Coach Manuel Pe\u00f1a Garc\u00e9s.
