CAMP DESCRIPTION
Complete Skills Junior Day Camps
These camps offer comprehensive skill training, games, and life skills training within a 9:00 am to 3:00 pm time frame. These day camps are a perfect introduction for athletes into the NBC Camp program and offer a taste of NBC excellence at a pace and intensity more suitable for younger or more beginning athletes. This basketball camp is designed for athletes to improve their game and have a fun time. We will focus on developing fundamental skills from shooting and attacking the basket to ball handling and defense.
The goal is to help build confidence in a fun and encouraging environment at a pace more suitable for the younger athlete. During this formative time, building skill mastery is crucial. Learning a new skill takes about 50-100 accurate repetitions over three days. It takes about 2500 accurate repetitions over three weeks to undo a skill learned incorrectly.
At NBC Camps, we believe it is worth the investment to help younger athletes learn a skill accurately. We also believe having fun is crucial for future passion. Our Intro camps combine great teaching, high energy, enthusiasm, and tons of fun into a camp experience younger athletes will love.
