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!

NTL Sunday basketball clinics are back and leaves-changing-color hoops, when schools open and pro leagues start and basketball interest hits high gear, 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 skills tuned, your shot all net. Worship the game and the fact you are out there. A great blend of really good focused hoops, a Sunday morning sweat, and plenty of hoop friends there to share the spotlight.

Form Shooting/Game Shots Shooting Clinic (BOS)

Mondays, September 18, 2023 ** TOTALLY NEW AGAIN!!
(12 weeks: $320)
(*special pricing: $220- if purchased as a second clinic this same fall term along with a full-priced clinic this same fall term!)
Everybody likes to shoot the ball. Everybody likes seeing the ball go through the basket after they’ve shot it. Every player who takes the game seriously (or semi-seriously) learns and practices and refines and practices, practices, practices form shooting. Even pros. Or especially pros. When they’ve got the best idea of the best variation of their shot, they practice the shots that are mostly likely to present themselves in the games they play: layup with someone chasing (righty, lefty); catch and shoot wide open jumper; pull-up jumper; did someone say “floater”? Three pointer? Bang! Welcome to the quintessential NTL skills clinic. Every pro starts every day the same. Here’s your chance to play the way the pros play.

Coached Scrimmage Clinic! Two teams, Two coaches! (BOS)
$360.00
Mondays. Beginning September 18, 2023
(12 focussed, competitive fun weeks: $360)
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.

Fall 2023 Play Forever League (PFL)
(14 weeks including Draft Day: $270)
(*special pricing: $220 – If you are (or will be) signed up for an NTL Fall Weekly Practice Program
Games, scoreboard, full stats, really good competition, cool teammates, not a jerk in the gym. 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, 9/23/23), 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. 10 regular season games and 3 post-season games for all eight teams. Ball movement, team play, equal playing time, and competitive but sportsmanlike spirit are emphasized.

Don’t forget the Duane Family Discount
(“DFD” for those in the know!)
Jim Duane took the Weekly NTL Practice Programs in Boston from their inception in 1992 until 2015. Along the way, he 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!?
***DFD Family Discount expires Jan 1, 2023***
