The mission of this one year old club basketball team is to provide a top-flight basketball program for student athletes primarily in the Southwest Suburban area. The vision is to be a developmental FEEDER program for area junior highs and the high schools. Finn is the former coach at Moraine Valley Community College. He has taught over 5,000 youth players in our area with his popular camps and clinics.
Focus will be put on teaching fundamentals and advance the boy’s basketball skills who desire to compete in a disciplined team environment, and strive to compete at the high school level and beyond. We are trying to do this under reasonable time constraints for the players, coaches and their families.
We envision one practice a week, one league game a week, and an approx. 50 game schedule (primarily weekend tournaments, not every weekend) between mid October and ending in mid March.
10-11 players will be selected for each of 4 teams one each for 5th, 6th grade, 7th grade and 8th grade. If the response is large enough this season we may do 2 teams at some grade levels. WE promise EQUAL playing time for ALL players in our Shooters boy’s program. I feel this is the only way to develop all of the boys, not just the best 5 at this age. Kids develop at different ages, and I can promise you with this philosophy you will see you son improve by March 2009.Our goal is not to win the national championship, but to improve skills, competitiveness, intensity and have fun playing basketball.
Practices will be held primarily at Stagg High School, and games will be held at local surrounding suburban facilities.
Cost per player selected will be $700 with an additional $50 uniform fee, if you don’t have one from last year.
Feel free to call 708-508-0170 or email me with questions/concerns etc.
