I was told not long ago that the joy clinic wasnt suitable for new teams
erm possibly, depends how new, and what you want from the clinic. Joy covered proper gun technique, stance, snapshooting, running and gunning and shooting off the break.
Other clinics such as robbo's are mroe talking about the game and how to better understand it (AFAIK), because if you don't understand how to play, the best snapshooting in the world won't save you.
Training sites and scrimmages against local teams will give you game experience and understanding, as more experienced players take advantage of mistakes and openings, so i'd get some basic experience before hitting the clinics.
p.s DarkWarrior - who's at NQ ?
