NATIONAL treasure for basketball, coach Joe Lipa did it once more during the last weekend of January in Baranggay Dolores in Porac, Pampanga as he headlined the Coach Joe Lipa (CJL) Basketball 101 Coaches’ Clinic for three days.
The 1986 UAAP champion coach of the State University poured out the technical knowledge featured from his 280-page reference book “Basketball 101”, while his resource speakers expanded the event’s content even more with topics ranging from 3 x 3 basketball essentials for communities, with coach Mon Casuga, the Quezon City Program Head under the Office of the Vice Mayor, sharing the QC model during the first day.
Co-author and publisher of the reference book, coach Sonny “Peter” Lopez engaged the 60 attending coaches and learner/athletes present, on how to organize and create a progressive and sustainable practice plan.
The third day was spent with the discussion of updated FIBA Rules and applications to all queries of game officials present in the 3-day clinic, sponsored by Alviera, Leonio Land, Converge, Spalding, and Jelexie Bakery.
The first of many CJL Basketball 101 Coaches’ Clinic was ably assisted by San Beda Red Lion Ted Alamarez, concluding with CJL signing and giving out copies of the book and the issuance of certificate of attendance.
