PROGRAM

Prof. Dr. Nenad Trunić
High School of Sports and Health, Belgrade
FIBA instructor

CROSS OVER is intended for children and juniors of both sexes, aged from 7 to 17 years, divided into groups according to age categories and levels adopted basketball skills.

The work program is the deed of Prof. Dr. Nenad Trunić, which is one of the most eminent experts for coaching young basketball players in Europe. This is confirmed by the World Basketball Federation - FIBA, which certified Dr. Trunić as official FIBA instructor.

The program of work stands on the basis of the gradual adoption of the technique, and positive approach to errors.

What does that mean?

When a player in the learning process makes a mistake, he should not be severely criticized because he does not made that mistake on purpose. Raising tensions could negatively affect the learning process. Instead, the player is encouraged to fix the error, and every, even the smallest progress in the work stands out as a positive thing. So young basketball player has the opportunity to feel his/her progress, to be happy with the improvements, and that with stable progress of adoption technology, adopt proper technique which will be hard to forget.

This approach to the camp CROSS OVER is implemented through two training sessions a day. Players are divided by two criteria - by age and adopted basketball knowledge ("quality“). This ensures that the individual progresses in a leveled basketball skills group.

In addition to training, athletes can share experience talking with the promoters, through a form of interactive lectures, gaining knowledge and encouragement for further work. And what’s better for the morale of young athletes, but to meet and talk with successful players, their idols.

Then there are the non-basketball activities that contribute young athletes in order relax and wait next training joyfully. These activities are carried out through a variety of games, parties, going to the pool and on the excursions.
