    The NBC Difference
    Unlike other camp programs where skills training falls under the expertise of the camp director, NBC Camps has built a program of training to help each camper walk out of camp a better player and person. Our site directors work as event managers helping to run a great week of camp and facilitating the implementation of our specific camp expectations. Our basketball instruction is based on skill curriculum and talent development we believe are essential to take your game to the next level. Though coaching styles and drills may change, our master teachers receive resources, lesson plans, and detailed training on how to maximize the camp experience. Coaching at camp is much different than coaching a team. With 50 years of successful history, our goal is to give you the best basketball and life skills instruction possible.

    TEACH BASKETBALL AND LIFE SKILLS AT A “WORLD CLASS” LEVEL

    Coach the game at a world class level. FAB 4
    • Protect the ball
    • Play with quickness and intensity
    • Play Smart
    • Finish the play

    Teach by living valuable skills for life. LIFE 4
    • Guard your heart
    • Live with love & intentionality

    • Finish strong, never give up

    T.E.C. Method
    The ability to know, understand and apply is the heart of NBC’s Teach, Encourage, Correct method. True teaching takes place when the student knows how to reproduce the skill and self-correct the skill when necessary.
