It’s All About Shooting Starting May/June 2021
Like other sports the game of basketball has certainly changed over the years. But the importance of being able to shoot the ball is the most significant change. All players must be able to shoot the ball in today's game. The three-point line has forced this development. All players are expected to make the three-point shot today but that is not all that is required.
Defensive strategy has changed over the years because of the three-point line. Defenses are now spread out. Often all five offensive players are setting up outside the three-point line. This means there are more shots available inside the three-point line. Also, it is mandatory that a player can take his defensive player off the dribble, penetrate and either kick the ball out or finish the layup.

" Buzzer Beater"
Time is running out. Just like taking a buzzer beater shot at the end of the game. Are you ready to take that shot? Well time is running out to prepare for your upcoming high school season. Are you ready for this season? Are you ready for the upcoming high school season? |
For years coaches and players have been fighting the battle of when can the players get time to practice their shooting. Practices are dedicated to coaches practicing offenses, defenses, press breaks, out of bound plays etc. There is never enough time for that let alone shooting practice.

"My daughter Tess attended every basketball clinic NE Warriors (Now MV Eagles) offered from 5th grade through high school. Not only did she become a highly regarded ball player in the Cape Ann League but also gained a great amount of confidence.
She was taught very early the need to continuously practice, practice, practice. She loved the coaching styles of both Coach Tardif Sr and Coach Tardif Jr. Honestly because of the Tardif's love of basketball and their infectious drive she worked tirelessly at her game and received numerous awards for her skills and talent. She was recruited and is now playing in college. Incredible programs! All of them! You'd be a fool not to sign your child up.” Kimberly |
