Madison Hoop Dreams School of Basketball

This fall, Madison Hoop Dreams (MHD) will offer its School of Basketball program at Polson Middle School (302 Green Hill Road, Madison). MHD will have two sessions each night. The first session, from 6 p.m. to 7:15 p.m., will be for players in grades three to eight. It is an opportunity for players to develop their ball handling skills and work on pure shooting form. With three nights each week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during September and October), players become more confident in their skills and more dedicated to working on getting better. Mondays will be run by New Haven basketball legend Bobby Moore, Wednesdays will be run by Coach Brett Zanardi, and Fridays will feature Coach Rich Pagliuca. Players can attend as their schedule allows, but the more often they attend, the better the results.

The second session each night, from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., is for high school players. All high school sessions are run by Coach Brett Zanardi, an assistant coach at Connecticut College in New London. It will feature a high school varsity level workout with footwork and finishing, stationary, movement ball handling, attacking the basket, scoring moves, and shooting drills.

There will be competitive games the last 20 to 30 minutes each night. Monday and Wednesday nights are for boys, and Friday nights will be for girls. It is a great opportunity for players to hone their skills for the 2024-2025 basketball season. MHD will draw players from over 15 area towns, and additional coaches will be added based on enrollment.
