This is where it all began for Never Too Late Basketball 28 years ago. An enthusiastic and energized group of players eager to learn and drill the basics, readying themselves to play the game! It's all about technique and the fundamentals: dribbling; shooting form; wrong foot (all the rage these days) layups and classic form layups; defensive positioning; offensive positioning (where and when to go where it is most helpful for your team); fast break situations; rebounding. All the little things (and big things!) you need to improve and move to the next level. It's a workout! It's an education! It's a great way to spend 90 minutes on a Sunday morning!

Intermediate Plus Skills & Scrimmage Clinic (BOS)
$190.00 – $270.00

(* special pricing option $190 – If purchased as a second NTL weekly practice program along with a full-priced clinic this same spring term.)
NTL basketball is back and spring hoops, when March Madness and the NBA Playoffs hit high gear and you move your game to a whole new level (again). A little time on the court on a Sunday morning before the weekend wanes, time to get a ball in your hands, get your conditioning back, your drill moves tuned, your shot all net. Worship the game and the fact you are out there. We'll run the floor but open the doors, take breaks but mostly feel the ball in your hands and make the game magic again.

Shoot, Shoot, More Shooting Clinic (BOS)
$190.00 – $270.00
Mondays, April 3, 2023 ** TOTALLY NEW AGAIN!!
(10 weeks: $270)
(*special pricing: $190- if purchased as a second clinic this same fall term along with a full-priced clinic this same spring term!)
Defense wins championships. Passing is more important than shooting, but, c'mon, what do you want to do when you look at a hoop? Shoot it! And shoot it we will. e heard you didn’t exactly perfect your shot over the winter months. So here we go again! Get your balance, get your rhythm, remember to follow through. Though mechanics are important, we don't want to be mechanical. Relaxed, loose, eliminate excessive motion. Splash! Coach Cabral will tweak your shot; keep it yours but make it better. The goal will be to get every player 250 shots before we unleash you for the scrimmage where you will take and make the shots you practiced. Eyes on the rim, watch the ball go in!

Coached Scrimmage Clinic! Two teams, Two coaches! (BOS)
$330.00
Mondays. Beginning April 3, 2023
(10 competitive weeks: $330)
Same Coached Scrimmage as it ever was (except with a state-of-the-art ventilation system added to the gym). A coach, teammates, an offense, a defense, a game plan to execute. A desire to implement proper execution of the timing and spacing required to get the best results from our skills when running an offense. On defense we will devise a plan to thwart the other teams efforts: shade, trap, slough, hedge, invite, fake, contain, frustrate. Adjustments during time-outs and at half-time. Coached Scrimmage is real basketball. Basketball is Coached Scrimmage. It's the year's best basketball treat. NTL in NYC and NTL in Boston: NTL's most popular clinics.

Curtis Hall is the beating heart of Boston basketball. A third floor gym, with a shiny new floor and NBA type backboards. Even though it’s a touch on the short side, it’s a gym that expects your best effort. The participants in this clinic come to learn and come to play. The scrimmages are always a nice extension of the drills and everyone seeks to make, recognize, and acknowledge a good play. We always look forward to coaching the Tuesday night clinic. It’s been a great one for years. (Open to Intermediate and higher level players only!)

Winter/Spring 2023 Play Forever League (PFL)
(13 weeks plus Draft Day: $250)
(*special pricing: $220 – If you are (or will be) signed up for an NTL Winter Weekly Practice Program
PFL basketball is the best basketball! A league for players who want a no-hassle, well-organized, professionally run, totally fun and competitive basketball experience. Appropriate for high novice through low advanced men and women adult players. (If you are really good or, worse yet, think you are really good, this probably is not the league for you. Though we have plenty of good players, they manage to remain humble and honor the effort and desire of others.) Come to Draft Day (Saturday, 01/28/23), show us what you got, or don't got, and we place you on a team. (But sign-up beforehand; the league always sells out.) Players can request 1 or 2 or 3 specific teammates; every effort is made to create teams of equal strength. Players receive numbered jerseys or shirts. We print full and accurate software generated NCAA-type box scores with field goals, free throws, three-pointers [made and attempted], rebs [off. and def.], assists, turnovers, blocks, steals, fouls and minutes played to distribute at game's end. Cumulative season's team and individual stats (example) are kept as well. Referee and electronic scoreboard. 6 regular season games and 2 post-season games for all eight teams. Ball movement, team play, equal playing time, and competitive but sportsmanlike spirit are emphasized.

(“DFD” for those in the know!)
Jim Duane has taken the Weekly NTL Practice Programs in Boston since their inception in 1992. Along the way, he has attended several Weekend Camps, played in the Play Forever League (PFL), had his right hip replaced, enrolled his kids in the Never Too Early Camps and, more to the point, over several summers had four family members in the Summer PFL! We had to give them a discount.
Now you can get a discount too! If you and a family member(s) – and we’re pretty liberal about what the definition is – sign-up for the same term of NTL, take a 10% discount. How awesome is that!? (But, PLEASE, email us the name of your family member who is joining you!)
