It’s hard to believe January is winding down and before we know it, spring will be here. As we hope everyone’s basketball season is going well, it is time to start thinking about what you can do between the end of this season and the start of next season to make yourself better. The best way to improve your game is to play as much basketball as you possibly can during the off-season. We have worked hard all winter and spring to construct a program that has flexibility and consistency for athletes who want to put in the work. This spring will be our best season yet– offering training in new locations every night, we are expecting players from all of Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire to be joining us! Our gym locations include the Middlesex, North Shore, and Metrowest regions, making it convenient for cities and towns such as Wakefield, Stoneham, Burlington, Billerica,Andover, North Andover, Reading, North Reading, Melrose, Lexington, Woburn,Tewksbury, Marblehead, Peabody, Danvers, Gloucester, Swampscott, Lynn, Salem,Revere, Beverly, Saugus, Manchester, Essex, Ipswich, Winthrop, Chelsea, Charlestown,East Boston, Malden, Medford, Arlington, and Southern New Hampshire!
Since we constructed our spring program to be as convenient and consistent as possible, it can be a little confusing to understand. We want to take the time and breakdown the spring programs to simplify it for our athletes and their parents:
Spring Training for both BOYS and GIRLS is available for kids in grades 3-11! The training program consists of 3 nights of skills and 1 night of league play. For convenience, you can pick and choose exactly what nights you want to attend! Each night of skills has a different focus:
1. Skills and Endurance 2. Conditioning and Pick-Up 3. Through-the-Net Shooting
Premier League is a new addition to the spring training program. We added the league based on our findings from previous spring seasons. We understand that the spring is a busy time and a lot of athletes are multi sport athletes and don’t have free time on the weekend to compete in basketball tournaments. The spring league is a league during the week for boys and girls to compete against other kids their age. The teams in the league are created by Premier Hoops coaches after tryouts to make them as even as possible. All league games are officiated by Premier coaches and the scores and standings are kept online. Premier League is also a way for kids who do not make our Select Teams to play on a team.
Select Teams are the final piece of our spring puzzle. Unlike other basketball programs, we only offer ONE team per age group on both the boys ‘and the girls’ side, for grade 4-Varsity. Players who are picked for a Select Team must be able to commit to the team throughout the spring that includes 6 weekend tournaments, one team practice per week (TBA per team), one skills night per week, and participating in the Premier League once a week.
