2016 John Calipari Coaches’ Clinic Set for Oct. 29

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The 2016 John Calipari Coaches’ Clinic has been set for Oct. 29 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Joe Craft Center on the campus of the University of Kentucky. Last year’s clinic was sold out, so early registration is encouraged to reserve a spot.

The day-long event, intended for male and female coaches, gives a unique look into the coaching philosophies and strategies that Calipari uses in guiding the eight-time national championship basketball program at Kentucky. Included in this year’s clinic will be a chance to tour the Joe Craft Center and the training facilities used by the Wildcats, with staff members available to answer questions.

Attendees will be given exclusive access to watch Coach Calipari and his staff conduct practice with the 2016-17 Wildcats. There will be opportunities to ask questions to Coach Calipari and his staff after practice.

UPDATE: Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Larry Brown, the only coach in basketball history to win both an NCAA national championship and an NBA title, will be in attendance as a featured guest. Former Drexel and UMass head coach Brusier Flint will also be in attendance. 

The cost of the clinic is $100. Registration will close on Oct. 28, so please secure your spot for this year’s clinic early through the online registration link or at ukathletics.com/camps.
