Madison Hoop Dreams School of Basketball
|
| |
Madison Hoop Dreams will have our "School of Basketball" program at the Robert H Brown School, 980 Durham Rd, Madison on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in March and at the Polson Middle School,302 Greenhill Rd, Madison during April, and May for grades 3 - 8 (we accept 2nd graders with a love for basketball and high school players who desire to get better ball handling and shooting skills) . This is the 22nd anniversary of offering this program. We are very proud of the many players who have gone on to play on many area basketball teams (both girls and boys). With improved offensive skills, players have more confidence in their abilities and increase their love for basketball. We will teach the art of shooting with drills they can take home for practice, In addition, our instruction includes ball handling drills, different types of dribbling, pivoting, all the types of passes, driving, and moving without the ball. Players shoot over 100 shots each session! Come join the fun! Last year, one camper (a 4th grader) learned how to shoot an opposite handed layup after just one session! We love working with all campers through group and individual instruction!
The dates are: March 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 24, 26, 28, 31; April 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 21, 23, 25, 28. 30; May 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, 30.. Each session in March is from 4:45 pm to 5:45 pm. In April and May the sessions are 6 PM to 7:15 PM.The cost is $20 per session. We offer a different instructor each night. On Mondays, Bobby Moore (basketball legend from New Haven) will be the head coach. On Wednesdays, Brett Zanardi (assistant coach at Conn College) will be the head coach. On Fridays, Rich Pagliuca (one of the top high school coaches ever in CT) will be the head coach. In addition, we intend to have 1 coach for every 5 players. Players get a variety of instruction to enhance their focus on the various skill sets. Each of the 3 coaches is considered one of the top basketball coaches in the state.
It would be very helpful if each player attended with some of their friends or teammates to enhance their enjoyment of the activities. We offer financial assistance to families in need of help. If you choose to attend all sessions (36 days), the cost is $600. If you miss some sessions, a prorated credit or refund is given. If you pay by the month: March (13 days) is $225; April (10 days) is $175; May (13 days) is $225. A credit, or refund, will be given for sessions missed. The 3rd choice is to pay by the week or pay at each session. Please go to www.madisonhoopdreams.com for more information and to register. If you have any questions, please call or text me at 203-494-6905. Or email me at wab6933@gmail.com. I hope that you will forward this information to your friends with children who love basketball or want to give it a try.
With love, Coach Bill Barker & Coach Brett Zanardi

April Vacation Basketball Camp
|
| |
This is an invitation to join us for our April vacation camp (April 14 --- 18). Our camp will be at HK Middle School, 451 Rt 81, Killingworth. Players in grades 3 - 9 are encouraged to attend from 9 am to 3 pm each day.
We start with drills to improve ball handling skills and pure shooting form. The rest of the day is devoted to playing basketball games. Teams are structured by grades to enable fairness in competition. Players in grade 2 are welcome if they can shoot at a regulation height basket (10') and compete with 3rd and 4th graders. We will have great speakers to motivate our campers.
The cost is $200 for the week. If you attend on a daily basis, the cost is $60 per day.
For more information and to register, please go to our website: www.madisonhoopdreams.com. If you have any questions, please call or text me at 203-494-6905, or email me at wab6933@gmail.com. I encourage you to share this email with friends and teammates. Please know that I appreciate your support of our programs.

Summer Basketball Camp
|
| |
Wow! This year marks our 31st year offering summer basketball camps, For over 20 of those years, we were the most popular basketball day camp in CT. We anticipate an outstanding summer at the HK Middle School (451 Ct Rt 81, Killingworth)! It is a beautiful facility with 3 full courts. Our focus will be on having lots of fun as we work on shooting and ball handling fundamentals as well as building a solid foundation of basic defensive skills and a spirit of teamwork. If, when you pick up your kids at the end of the day, they are exhausted, exhilarated, and anxious to return the next day, then we figure we've done a pretty good job.
We are there each day, from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, for an extra ½ hour before and after each day's regular session (9 AM to 3 PM). Players can use the time to work on their shooting skills. The extra time is to accommodate parent's work schedule.
The cost is $300 for one week. For additional weeks, we have a “family friendly pricing".. The cost for a second week is $275.. For the third week, the cost is $250.. For the 4th week, the cost is $225. For weeks 5 & 6 the cost is $200/week.
Last summer, we had 31 campers attend 3 or more weeks. Each week is a unique experience and it never gets boring. We have many campers who attend 1 week and successfully plead with their parents to attend more weeks. In 2022, a 4th grader wrote a powerpoint presentation for her parents about why she should attend all 6 weeks --- she attended all 6 weeks!
I encourage you to register early to avoid being placed on a waiting list. Not to worry, deposits are refundable given adequate notice or for emergencies. And if your child wants to attend my camp but your checking account says otherwise, please don't be bashful. Put your request for financial assistance in writing (wab6933@gmail.com) or please call or text Coach Bill Barker (203-494-6905) and I'll make every effort to make this summer one your child will always remember. We also offer payment on an installment plan.
It wouldn't be a Madison Hoop Dreams Camp without exciting guest speakers, and this year we're going to try to outdo ourselves. I am seeking players from the CT. Sun to visit with our campers (including pictures and autographs) and share their unique perspectives on the game that we all love so much. We will also feature two of the very best presenters available: Joey Reilly and Coach Rich Pagliuca.
With love, Coach Bill Barker & Coach Brett Zanardi
