Nike Basketball Camp San Antonio San Antonio, Texas
US Sports Camps and Nike Basketball Camps are thrilled to welcome Terrence Jones of TJ's Ultimate Champs to the Nike Basketball Camp Family. As the Director of our Nike Basketball Camps in San Antonio, Texas, TJ brings incredible enthusiasm, experience and knowledge to our camp offerings. TJ will direct 4 weeks of camp this summer for players (ages 8-17) that are looking to take the next step in their game. Nike Basketball Camp at St. George Maronite Community Center will feature intense weekly programs tailored towards specific skill and age levels with a focus on individual skill improvement, competition and fun!
Nike Basketball Camps are pleased to present the Ultimate Champ philosophy: In order to be successful there has to be a strong foundation. If a builder is building a house, he must have a strong foundation in order for the house to stand properly over time. Well, the same is for basketball. There must be a strong foundation in fundamentals for continuous individual improvement. In addition to an emphasis on skill development, camp will also aim to improve each players athleticism and explosiveness.
Highlights Include
- Talented staff of coaches eager to teach and reinforce basketball fundamentals
- Wide range of skill development drills
- In-depth analysis of each player's conditioning and footwork
