US Sports Camps is proud to once again team up with A Step Ahead to run Nike Basketball Camps. This will be the seventh consecutive summer offering camps together. ASA Founder Brendan Smith directs 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 their skills and basketball IQ. While we do recognize the value of scrimmaging as well as free time, we also pride ourselves in teaching the game of basketball. 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.

Highlights Include

Superior instruction
8:1 camper to instructor ratio
Daily emphasis on fundamental development, team play, and more
Official NIKE Camp T-shirt
NIKE Camp workbook and other great NIKE prizes

Perhaps one of the nicest gyms in Southern NH, this facility boasts a full length high school court and two cross-courts. With six baskets this gym is ideal for a camp setting. This gym has exceptional lighting and is very well kept.

Complete Skills: This program is intended to help players develop athletically.

The counselors/coaches were incredibly motivating...my son would practice outside until dark after a full day of camp. We will definitely sign up again.
