Fairmont Prep is Southern California's leading preparatory school and offers a safe, clean, and top-notch facility to host camp. We are thrilled to offer 3 sessions of camp this summer!

He has assembled a team of coaches and collegiate players to help guide campers throughout the Shooting/Offensive Skills program. Pete's passion for helping young players improve their game all while being safe, healthy, and having fun makes for a great and memorable camp experience. 

The Shooting/Offensive Skills camp gives campers the opportunity to focus on improving their shooting skills. Emphasis is placed upon: Technique, Footwork, Shooting drills, Shooting off the dribble, Shooting off the pass, Shooting games, Free Throw Shooting, and Post/Perimeter Shooting. Players will also work on dribbling, passing, shooting, and styles of play.

Just minutes from Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm, and located right off the I-5, Fairmont Preparatory Academy is Southern California’s leading prep school and is located in the heart of Orange County. With ample room, a safe and clean environment, and top-notch facilities, Fairmont Prep provides an ideal location to come out for 4 days to practice and improve your basketball skills. 

Coach Rivas designs his camps so that the day-to-day camp routine is comprised of the following five categories:  

Warm-up: Foam Roll/Static Stretch/Stabilization/Core & Balance/Dynamic Warm-Up/Injury Prevention   -- Warming up properly is the #1 thing you can do to prevent injury. We go to great lengths to make sure your body is properly stretched and stabilized before we begin training.

SAQ Attack: Speed/Quickness/Explosion/Footwork/Agility/Strength  -- We will teach you the proper techniques of movement, change of direction, acceleration, deceleration, and jump/landing techniques.

Footwork: Catch & Shoot/Half Court Attack/Catch Attack/Dribble Attack/Transition Attack/Finishing Moves -- The quality of your: catching, passing, shooting and ball handling is directly related to the quality of your footwork. Our workouts are literally “built from the ground up.”

Conditioning: With Out Ball/With Ball/Combination/Competitive Drills/Controlled Scrimmage -- Once a habit has been formed it must be applied when tired and at game speeds. Out workouts conclude with an opportunity to perform learned skills in a competitive setting.

Cool Down: Foam Roll/Static Stretch/Core Stabilization/Partner Stretch/Band Stretch -- Cool down is a period vital to the regenerative process. When basketball is long done, you will still have your body to live with. A little time now will pay great dividends later in life.
