Test Time

How much do you REALLY know about FOOTWORK?

 
 
 
 
During this 6-hour group session on footwork, each student will be responsible for taking notes.  At the end of the clinic, each player will be given this open-book test to see how much he remembers. 
 
If you take the test seen below and you don’t know all the answers to the questions, then I recommend that you attend our March 14th Footwork Clinic: http://www.samsondubina.com/sites/default/files/RegistrationForms/clinic...
