can't wait for next year!
August 8, 2021: Karsen enjoyed camp and she learned so much. She can't wait for next year!

Jake LOVED this basketball camp
August 8, 2019: Jake LOVED this basketball camp so much and every bit of it! He came home every day and talked non-stop about what he had learned that day, about his coaches, etc. He worked hard and earned many ribbons, which he was super pumped about! We purchased him a t-shirt and shorts and I think he has worn them a few times a week (as soon as they are washed, he wears them)!

Thank you so much!
August 6, 2021: Jake had a GREAT time and said that his coach was his favorite of all of the coaches he has ever had! Jake has been playing basketball since we could register him, so this means a LOT! Thank you so much!

We would definitely do this camp again.
September 1, 2019: This was my son's first McCracken Basketball Camp. He enjoyed the drills so much he would repeat them at home. He said he learned a lot and had so much fun. and he is thrilled to be picked to attend the shoot out competition in Indiana. We would definitely do this camp again.

Great camp opportunity
August 12, 2015: My daughter enjoyed the coaches and attitudes of all participants, which is generated from leadership of camp. The other kids were easy to get to know and she enjoyed the opportunity to work with other girls the same age that then became new friends. Considering her age that is saying a lot about the good atmosphere offered for learning.
