4TH ANNUAL BLAZERS MUD SEASON PICKUP BASKETBALL PROGRAM
This program is targeted for local 4th-8th grade boys who would like to keep playing some basketball informally…and before the fields dry out for spring sports. It’s also great for players who simply want more basketball!
Schedule: Mondays from 7:15 to 8:30 starting on 3/5 and ending on 4/30 (skipping April Vacation Week).
Format: In general, the goal is to “just let the boys play”. After a short warm up and maybe a group drill, we will make teams and begin scrimmages. While a combination of our coaches and camp counselors will oversee the games, the goal is to keep this informal and fun. No Parent Coaches. No timeouts or Free throws that drag the game out. No plays to remember. This format promises to be a welcome change from the intensity of organized teams (and for some travel playoffs). It’s all about having fun and playing the game with kids from local towns!
Cost: $125 per player
Location: Harlow Gym, Fay School, Southborough

APRIL VACATION BASKETBALL CAMP: 4/17-4/20
Our camps are designed to help players develop sound fundamentals, in an uptempo and competitive setting that they enjoy. Each program is designed to support the specific needs of the targeted age group, and leverages the skill development model we’ve developed for youth leagues in more than 30 states. We ensure players understand the proper mechanics for all of the core skills, and then work with them to incrementally develop the ability to execute these skills in game-like competitive situations. We often incorporate a strength and conditioning component to our programs, helping players understand the importance of fitness in all the sports they play…as well as to a healthy lifestyle.
