Grip Spritz attends Statewide Basketball Coaching Clinics

Grip Spritz attended four state coaches' association clinics in 5 days! Over 2,500 high school basketball coaches across Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Ohio!

This crazy week comprised 6 states, over 2,000 miles on the road, and over 2,500 high school basketball coaches!

Arkansas Basketball Coaches Clinic (ArBCA)

This was our first year attending the ArBCA coaches' clinic and it did not disappoint! The two-day event was highlighted by Arkansas Men's Basketball Coach, John Calipari, speaking on his coaching philosophies. 

He was a massive draw as his first year as the Razorback's head coach approaches. 

We take any opportunity to get in front of a new group of coaches. Our Grip Spritz traction mat is 4 years old and while it's old to us, there are still so many schools and coaches who don't know about it, yet!

SlippNott sticky pads are universally known and a great measuring stick for coaches to compare Grip Spritz to. 

Whether that's effectiveness, cost, ease of use, sustainability, or ease of carrying, Grip Spritz takes the cake!

Arkansas will definitely be a mainstay on our fall travel plans!

 Missouri Basketball Coaches Association (MBCA)

Missouri gets us back to our regularly scheduled programming! This is the third year we've attended this clinic and it's always one of our favorites!

The MBCA does a great job bringing together all the state high school coaches.

 It's no wonder Missouri is one of our top three states for high school teams using Grip Spritz!

Missouri hiring Dennis Gates has had a resounding impact on the clinic itself! He provides a ton of value to these coaches and even gives them a live look at what a Mizzou practice looks like! 

Basketball Coaches Association of Tennessee (BCAT)

Tennessee is the next stop of the week! Year three driving through the night from Missouri to Tennessee still hasn't gotten old.

BCAT does us all the favor of hosting their event just south of Nashville on a Friday and Saturday. This is a massive draw for coaches from all over the state.

Not to mention they have speakers from massive colleges including, Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

Ohio Basketball Coaches Association (OHSBCA)

Our home state and first-ever clinic we attended back in 2021 wraps up the week!

Ohio, naturally, is one of our best states! We have over 150 high school basketball teams using our Grip Spritz traction mat and it's growing each month!

It's awesome to catch up with coaches, hear how their teams are looking, and hear about the athletes they work with.

At the OHSBCA clinic, we had the opportunity to showcase some new products we're hoping to have ready before the end of 2024, as well! 

All in all, we love doing these events, no matter how hectic of a week it creates!

This is only the beginning of what we have planned with these state clinics. 

Now, it's on to the next states!
