Team packages include:
- At least 2 team practices / week

What differentiates Premier from other programs:
- Best basketball coaching in New England! All of our coaches have had significant experience coaching youth players. Many of our coaches have played in College and Professionally.
- Low coach to player ratio. We limit all workout sessions to a 1:8 coach to play ratio, but at some you will find 1:5 coach to player ratio.
- Huge focus on skill development as a player and as a team. Our coaches spend more than half of each practice session teaching offensive and defensive fundamentals so that players are able to transfer this into actual games.
