Ten Weeks! Click here to sign up for NYC NTL Programs Online! NEW! - Read Reviews of NTL Programs! Sunday beginning 09/14/08 Ballhandling and Shooting Clinic (10 weeks, $230) Even though in a game of 10 players you only have the ball approximately 10% of the time, that time is very important. You need to be able to protect the ball; you need the skills to move the ball by passing, thereby moving the defense/making them work; you can dribble to score or set-up teammates; and you can put the ball in the hole (and be carried off the floor on the shoulders of jubilant teammates and adoring fans)! Fagan 9-10:30am Greenwich Village School Coached Scrimmage Clinic! (Back by Popular Demand!) Two teams, Two Coaches! One referee! (10 competitive and illuminating weeks; $280) NEW! Wec did it last spring and we're doing it again! Yup, we split the group up into two teams the first week, each with a coach, then give each team an offense and defenses (zones and "man", full and half court) and their many variations to practice and employ in the games and scrimmages. All the pre-scrimmage drills each week will be designed to improve each group's "team offense" and "defense" and their ability to execute in a real game. Naturally, we'll have to back-up on occasion to master certain "individual skills" to make the team skills relevant. Then we'll play the games: keep score, blow the whistle, shoot free throws, count three-pointers, call time-outs, fill roles, discuss and employ real and appropriate basketball strategies. Like Boston's PFL without the stats but with coaches to help focus you! Hour and ten minutes devoted to the scrimmage each week. (Open to hi-Novice through Advanced and limited to the first 16 players.) Click here to register! Steve Fagan, Wally Halas (and great guest coaches!) 10:30-Noon Greenwich Village School Monday beginning 09/15/08 Beginner/Novice Skills & Scrimmage (10 weeks, $230) Click here to read reviews! Basketball is a game of fundamentals, the accumulation of a hundred and more small things that put together make for an effective team player possessing effective individual skills. Here we practice just like a college team would: one-third of the time on individual skills, one-third on team play skills and one-third in a coach controlled scrimmage where we apply the knowledge and skills we worked on in the drills and present as close to a game situation, to make us game-ready, as possible. This is a great clinic, the clinic that has anchored NTL in NYC for fourteen years! Fagan 7-8:30pm Bishop Ford High School Intermediate/Advanced Skills & Scrimmage (10 weeks, $230) -- Click here to read reviews! The NTL in NYC Clinic that most closely resembles a true college basketball practice. You even get a coach who gets frustrated and YELLS at the players in disgust! (As well he should when the ball gets turned over and fundamentals are forgotten.) But the spirit is there. The competitiveness is there and enough intelligence and knowledge to know when to step back and focus, once again, on the basics as a way to move forward. Every Monday is a very fun and interesting session! Fagan 8:30-10pm Bishop Ford High School |
