Spring Clinics for College Teams

Brutesquad offers two types of clinics for high school and college teams in New England that we would run at your school's facilities from February through April 2010.

Team Clinic
Team clinics run for three or four hours. Brute designs clinic content for your team based on what you think would benefit you the most -- cutting, catching, throwing, marking, hucking, break-mark throws, zone D, man D, clam, etc. The clinic isn't a "lecture" of any sort -- it's more of a cooperative learning experience where we discuss an aspect of the game, practice it with drills and individual attention, then put it all together in a scrimmage.

Skills Clinic
The second type of clinic is intended for a developing A-team or B-team. We would focus more on fundamentals (throwing flat, IO's, OI's, marking, downfield D, the stack, etc.) and give more individual attention towards developing a player's basic skills. This clinic would be shorter, between two to two and a half hours.

Why is our clinic something you should consider?
As a team, we identify with you: We're young, dynamic, knowledgeable, and since many of us came from college teams in the area, we're looking to give back as much as we can. Through correspondence with your captains and/or coaches, we'd take the time to design the clinic to fit YOUR needs, instead of a one-size-fits-all deal, and make sure you really get the most out of it. In addition to the time spent in the actual clinic, you would have several new drills to implement at practices, and a renewed sense of focus of what to work on as you prepare for your spring tournaments and the UPA series.

2010 Clinic Schedule: Amherst College, Andover High School, Brandeis University, Middlebury College, Needham High School, Wellesley College A & B, Williams College.

Clinic Testimonials:

"Brute day is my favorite day of the year!" -- Brandeis University

"The Brute Squad clinic was more than we could have even asked for. All of the Brutes were incredibly knowledgeable and did an awesome job clearly and effectively explaining complicated pieces of ultimate. On top of the instruction, it was overall just a really fun day!" -- Middlebury College

"I sprained my finger, but it was totally worth it. The Brute clinic was awesome. I learned a lot of really useful things, and I think everyone else did too." -- Amherst College

"The opportunity to work with Brute Squad was incredibly beneficial for the team. It was perfectly tailored to what we hoped to work on, and gave us a chance to focus on individual skills as well as overall team concepts in a very balanced and constructive way. It was more than just an amped-up practice; everyone who was able to make it from our team left with new skills and ideas that have remained with them, and we've incorporated drills and warm-up activities from the clinic into our team routine. This was our second clinic with Brute and after our first one in 2009, everyone was really excited to have it happen again. We hope to do the same thing next year!" -- Wellesley College
