McCracken Camp did not disappoint
June 22, 2019: Coaches took time to get to know something unique about each player and their style of play, which we loved. They were able to connect with my son James and he valued their feedback as a result. The well-organized skill development exercises helped James focus on what his strengths are and where he needs to continue to work. I was nervous sending James to this camp as he has been disappointed after attending other camps. McCracken Camp did not disappoint!! In fact, it was worth the hour and a half drive and hotel stay just to attend. Hats off to the coaching staff! You are helping kids become better players and humans. Great work!

Coaches and staff are awesome and very positive
June 22, 2019: Henry loves this camp! We travel 45 minutes to get to and from camp and it is worth every minute! He is excited when he wakes up to go and talks about it when he gets home. He set goals for himself and learned a lot and worked hard. Coaches and staff are awesome and very positive!!!!

so impressed with his improvement
June 21, 2019: Max came home with a smile on his face every day! He loved working under the guidance of Coach Tyler and playing and learning with his group. He came home and after all of those hours and still wanted us to play basketball in the driveway. We were so impressed with his improvement after 4 days, but we're most happy to see him walk away with new confidence and the satisfaction of him loving the McCracken experience! He cannot wait until next year! Thank you!
