Skill Clinics Offer an Extra Edge

Gem City is excited to offer skill clinics this October and November! Skill clinics are one-hour group sessions focusing on a specific skill or set of skills for just $15 for each clinic.

Clinics are a great setting for learning because of the singular focus on technique and the variety of coaching voices that get to be heard. It’s not uncommon for athletes to pick up skills they’ve been working on just because a new face is working with them.
