Marscilla P.

I have been a personal shooting coach for 8 years specializing in technique, form, footwork and ball handling. I have coached at the high school and middle school levels along with AAU. I like to start training kids as early as 3rd grade all the way through high school.

Packer was drafted by Phoenix Mercury in the 2008 WNBA Draft April 9 in Tampa, Fla. Packer was selected No. 41 overall in the third round.

I begin every session with speed and agility to get warmed up. That will flow into form shooting, ball handling and usually a full court drill. I always have the athlete shoot free throws in between drills so they can get that game like feel when shooting them.

Next we will go into a a series of shooting drills; stationary,off the dribble,various types of footwork. My specialty is teaching athletes why they miss and how to correct it quickly.
