US Sports Camps is proud to team with A Step Ahead for the seventh consecutive summer to offer another Nike Basketball Camp in Hyannis, MA. ASA Founder Brendan Smith leads our basketball programs.
A Step Ahead (ASA) Basketball camps are designed for the player looking to improve his or her game. Our camp schedule is a healthy balance of learning and enjoyment while always maintaining a competitive environment. Coaches will push and motivate campers throughout the week to improve upon their skills and basketball IQ.

Drill stations, full court drills, offensive/defensive technique, and positional moves are all important points of emphasis with the ASA staff. Campers are expected to work hard and be receptive to coaching. For those looking to stay “A Step Ahead” on the basketball court this is the perfect camp for you.
