Stephen Salvo has an extensive background which includes seven years of experience working at San Diego State University it both Men's Baseball and Women's Basketball, during which time more than 12 student athletes achieved either a status of All American and/or played professionally in their given sport after college.
Since then he has worked more than 25 years as a guidance director/counselor in various school districts throughout Southern New Jersey. As a consequence of this experience, since his retirement in 2017, he has utilized his skills to begin various other student programs including the Roadrunner Basketball Clinics and a Scholarship Program for outstanding graduating Hammonton High School seniors. His total contribution for the 2023 academic year amounted to $27,000.
His current Roadrunner Basketball Clinic is totally sponsored and funded by Stephen Salvo. What separates this program is that it is a school of teaching skills, as opposed to simply playing intramural competition. There is a high concentration of progressive offensive skills with priorities centered about becoming an OFFENSIVE SCORING MACHINE!
His experience from working with all levels of student athletes has driven him to recognize that there are very fundamental offensive concepts which must become a part of a players repertoire. Although the game of basketball has changes phenomenally in the last 25 years there are certain concepts which have still carried over and are priority in the modern day game. The offensive scoring machine of today still has to master the various options of the GIVE AND GO, which also includes the various ON BALL SCREENS, along with the multitude of OFF BALL SCREENS. What this constitutes is a necessity of always moving without the ball. Included among this is the recognition of when to utilize BACKDOOR CUTS. Additionally there has to be a concentration for players to be able to skillfully articulate BACK TO THE BASKET MOVES. A major flaw in the modern game has been the resistance to understand that being phenomenal passer, shooter and dribbler must include the art of deception and faking in each one of these categories. Needless to say, the implementation of the ONE ON ONE I-MOVE, has advanced ball handlers to change speeds and directions in order to overcome any one great defensive player.
The 24 second clock has mandated that since only one person has the ball at a time, it is critical that other offensive players aid and participate in creating overloads against the defense and such is why there is so much concentration on movement without the ball.
The Roadrunner School of Basketball Clinics emphasizes all of these skills from a basic 1 on 1 on 1 drill which then proceeds to 2 on 2 on 2 drills followed by 3 on 3 on 3 then 4 on 4 on 4 and finally 5 on 5 on 5. It is the use of this approach which separates the Roadrunner School of Basketball from every other type of instruction, camp or team, which makes it no different than a classroom teacher, who must focus on fundamentals as a building block to higher levels.
