2012 Dallas Basketball Coaching Workshop



Matt Grahn Basketball is excited to announce the 2012 Dallas Basketball Coaching Workshop will be held on October 6th at the University of Dallas!

The speakers and I are all very excited about this event and wish to share with you. This is a fantastic time to learn and grow as a coach, right before college practices and about a month before high school practices, to have those valuable nuggets fresh in your mind as you start your season.

The lineup of speakers and their wealth of knowledge is once again, in a word, phenomenal! One of the best qualities about all of the speakers is their approachability. All of them are "hoops junkies" and are more than willing to share their thoughts with others. This will be a fun day of basketball and one that you don't want to miss!
