Form Shooting/Game Shots Clinic (NYC)

Sundays beginning September 10, 2023
(13 BIG!
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 a bit like the pros play.

It all comes down to execution; having a plan and learning as a group how to put that plan into a well functioning reality. At “Coached Scrimmage” the coaches, Billy Singleton, former captain at St John’s University, and Steve Fagan, former all-NYC baller and head women’s coach at Felician University, give you the plan and stay on you week after week, whether winning the scrimmages or losing, to read the defense, take care of the ball and execute more effectively. Defensively we challenge you to understand the impact you can have on the game when you dictate play. I mean you can sit back and react, but how does that make the world a better place? Let's learn how we can get the job done, and have fun doing it. (Open to hi-Novice through Advanced and strictly limited to the first 20 players.) *”This activity is not sponsored or endorsed by The New York City Department of Education or The City of New York.”

(*special pricing: $210 – if purchased as a second clinic this term along with a full-priced clinic this same fall term!!)
Back in Brooklyn at maybe the best gym NTL has ever had. Back playing the basketball and back to the basics! The Brazilians call their brand of soccer, “The Beautiful Game”. Here at NTL, we call the process of studying, practicing, eating/sleeping/fully assimilating into bone marrow the fundamentals of basketball, “The Beautiful Basics”. On Wednesday evenings in the West Village join Hall of Fame NTL Coach Steve Fagan in drilling the things that will have you worshipping the game (and get a great sweat while doing it!). Program is intended to include beginners and not exclude players who come in with some decent basketball experience. Will always include drills and information necessary to the beginner player (“Beautiful Basics”) while striving to re-emphasize and re-focus on fundamentals for experienced players.

Get in the game again, this time at the biggest and best NTL clinic gym ever! You are playing and you feel like you are definitely doing some things well. But there's that feeling, that knowledge that there exists a gap between you and the really good player, a gap that is not explained merely by size or athleticism. Coach Fagan knows well the difference between you and them and will show you how and what to practice to close the gap.

Back in the gym! Back to the basics! Back to the biggest and best gym NTL has or has ever had! Basics are basics and everyone needs them but this clinic is pointed to those who see themselves as others may see them: as beginners (raw but oozing with potential!). 1) Learn and practice to dribble without looking at (or losing) the ball. 2) get a strong sense of where and how to play defense whether you are guarding the person with the ball or without the ball. D-E-F-E-N-S-E! 3) Layups. You gotta get the rhythm of the layup down. You don't want to blow your layups! 4) Passing. Be a strong passer. People LOVE to play with good passers! 5) Shooting form. This is where THAT becomes part of who you are. 6) Where to go and when to go there when your team has the ball. Screening. Pick & Roll. Fast breaks and “numbers” situations. Rebounding. 5 on 5 full court scrimmage play the last 1/3 of each session. All around awesomeness awaits you!

$240.00 – $340.00
Thursdays beginning September 14, 2023
(11 weeks: $340)
(*special pricing: $240 – if purchased as a second clinic this term along with a full-priced clinic this same fall term!)
Back in the game at the biggest and best NTL gym ever! A smattering of drills followed by the coach throwing you in the pool and seeing how you swim. He'll blow the whistle and throw you a life jacket every time it seems you are drowning, or at least going under. You get the idea. Get better by doing. Everybody, meaning both teams, will be running the same offense (implemented and refined in the early weeks) all term. The goal is to identify skills and knowledge that is necessary for each player to perform more successfully within the team concept and to step back, again and again, week-after-week to work on those skills. Then the coach throws you in the pool again. I mean out on the court again. Game time!

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***
