Staff
NBC Camps coaches are known for their hard work, great attitude, and commitment to helping you reach your potential on and off the court. Our curriculum focuses on helping you master even the most difficult skills as well as developing leadership, mental toughness, and confidence.
The NBC Difference
Unlike other camp programs where skills training falls under the expertise of the camp director, NBC Camps has built a program of training to help each camper walk out of camp a better player and person. Our site directors work as event managers helping to run a great week of camp and facilitating the implementation of our specific camp expectations. Our basketball instruction is based on skill curriculum and talent development we believe are essential to take your game to the next level. Though coaching styles and drills may change, our master teachers receive DVDs, lesson plans, and detailed training on how to maximize this week of camp. Coaching at camp is much different than coaching a team. With over 40 years experience, our goal is to give you the best basketball and life skills instruction possible.

NBC teaches TEAM
I think NBC is great if you want to learn basketball skills. The intensity level is great but most importantly they teach you how to be a team. You can push through anything with the help of others.
Best decision
Your probably a parent checking out this camp and perhaps wondering if it’s the right camp or your child. Stop, Register and send your child to this camp. It’s the best decision I have ever made as a parent. Don't wait!
This camp is great because you not only improve as a basketball player but you also improve as a person
Become a better person
You really should attend this camp, I went to it and thought it was great! They teach you to throw yourself into the game and that you do not have a team, but a family and that you need to look out for them. They teach great drills that you can use after you leave camp. And you have a clean slate at camp. you can be yourself! Not only do they teach basketball, but also about life, and how you may become a better person.
Great camp
This is a really great camp and I would definitely recommend it because it helped me a lot
For serious players
This camp is great! You work hard and it challenges even the skills you think you already have. I would recommend it to serious basketball players.

Impressed each time
I am sooo impressed each time my daughter returns from NBC b ball camp. Her skill level increases of course but it’s the thought provoking discussions that I am the MOST impressed with. My daughter always comes home a more mature young lady.

I have improved every year
I have been to this camp 8 times, and have had a great experience every year. My skills and self esteem have improved and I have made some great friends. I look forward to the next year even as I am driving home from camp.
