CAMP DESCRIPTIONS
Pure Shooting & Offensive Skills Camp: Shooting is basketball’s most crucial skill. At this camp, NBC staff work with campers to gain greater depth as a shooter as well as hone offensive moves. The focus of this camp is to become an offensive threat on the court. All athletes learn how to correct and improve their shots through evaluation, drills, and video work.
Complete Player Basketball Camps offer training in all aspects of the sport including leadership and confidence training. NBC's Complete Player basketball curriculum is all-encompassing to help athletes develop and master skills to play the game of basketball with excellence. Complete Player camps offer overnight (complete program training) and extended day options for those who commute to and from camp each morning and evening.
Complete Player Intensive Basketball Camps are the same as our Complete Player Basketball Camps but with an increase in the teaching pace, intensity, and expectation of the players. Athletes will be expected to progress faster through the drills.
