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.
