Defense is about more than effort — it’s about discipline, communication, anticipation, and leadership.

The RIS3 Defensive Development & Leadership Clinic is designed to help athletes become reliable defenders and leaders on and off the court. This clinic focuses on teaching athletes how to guard with purpose, read the game defensively, and lead through effort and communication in real game situations.

Athletes will be challenged to compete, think, and take ownership of their role on the floor.
