Varsity and J.V. basketball players at Grace Christian Academy had the opportunity to learn from the best last Saturday at a shooting clinic in the Perry Memorial Gym.

Paul Hoover, one of the premier shooting coaches in the U.S. helped train 25 Cougars and Lady Cougars on the fundamental mechanics of shooting a basketball. From Columbus, Ohio, Hoover has guided hundreds of collegiate and pro players with his Pro Shot Shooting System.

“I was introduced to Coach Hoover’s Pro Shot Shooting System last summer,” camp director and GCA coach Erwin Harrell said. “I showed it to some of the varsity girls and saw positive results this past season, so we decided to present it to as many varsity and J.V. players as we could. We were very fortunate to have Coach Hoover come to Bainbridge.”

Hoover has successfully head coached teams at all levels. He guided various high school teams for 16 years in Southern California. During that span, his teams achieved 300 wins and 12 championships. His teams set scoring records at four different schools.
