TRAINING SESSIONS
Respect Basketball Families,
By popular demand, Respect Basketball Founder Coach Clay Watson is bringing back his School Ball & College/University Prep Program this fall!
This is Coach Clay’s personally developed training program—a specific, results-driven system he created more than 10 years ago and has continued to refine throughout his 20+ years of high school, college, and top-level club coaching and training experience.
This program was built for success with a purpose: to prepare serious athletes for school basketball and the next level beyond it. It goes beyond regular team practices and traditional skills training by combining advanced skill development, basketball-specific conditioning, Basketball IQ, situational learning, and the details athletes need to become more complete, confident, and prepared players.
Over the years, this program has helped countless athletes prepare for and make their school teams, while also playing an important role in the development of athletes who have gone on to college and university basketball opportunities across Canada and the United States.
After numerous requests from players and families, Coach Clay is bringing the School Ball & College/University Prep Program back for Fall 2026—and it will be available exclusively to registered Respect Basketball athletes.
