After the Wednesday clinic ended, coaches assembled for the player draft to form teams for the Summer League.

Tuesday, May 7th:

Legendary Buena High School girl basketball coach Joe Vaughn spoke to Wildcat players about what it takes to transform themselves from “Participants to Competitors” and he emphasized the need for players to persevere, commit to their goals, and be willing to sacrifice.

Coach Vaughn led Buena High School for thirty-two years and, before his recent retirement, established himself as the all-time winningest coach in California state history for girls basketball.

The clinic was attended by 54 players and 14 instructors from Buena High School, Santa Clara High School, Ventura High School, and accomplished travel ball players.

Monday, May 6th:

A dozen players and coaches from Santa Barbara College led the first day of the 21st annual Ventura Wildcat basketball clinic. With Coach Melissa Jiminez leading the Vaqueros, younger players were led through drills that including dribbling, shooting, defensive footwork, pivoting, passing, and scrimmaging.

Coach Jiminez was returning to her earliest days of basketball because, as an eight year old, she attended the clinic and played several years in the Wildcat Summer League before moving on to play for Ventura High School and Santa Barbara College where she remained as an assistant and now as a coach.

More pictures of the clinic are in the Photo Gallery

It is the fourth year that Coach Melissa has brought her players to the clinic and, as always, the Wildcats are greatly thankful for her leadership and excellence in teaching fundamentals to rising players.
