THE ULTIMATE CHAMPIONS PHILOSOPHY
In order to be successful, there has to be a strong foundation. If a builder is building a house, he must have a strong foundation in order for the house to stand properly over time. Well, the same is for basketball. There must be a strong foundation in fundamentals for continuous individual improvement. In addition to an emphasis on skill development, the camp will also aim to improve each player's athleticism and explosiveness.
COMPETITION FRIDAY
Extend your camp experience with Competition Friday! Competition Friday is the chance to come back the Friday after camp ends and put the new skills you've learned to the test. Competition Friday runs 9am-4pm at an additional cost of $110. The schedule will include a full day of competitive games including 2 on 2, 3 on 3, 5 on 5, NBA Skills Challenges, Hot Shot, Dunk Contests, and much more! All players will be divided into groups based on their age and skill level. Please note, this day is exclusively for enrolled campers. *Not applicable for Session I.
POST-CAMP PERSONALIZED SKILLS ACADEMY (NEW!)
In Post-Camp Training Personalized Training, Ultimate Champions will be offering skill-specific training catered to the need of each player. The focus is to find out the challenge area of each player and spend the entire session working to improve the challenge areas. It will run Monday-Thursday, from 4pm-5pm, and be $80 (for all 4 days).
CAMPER EVALUATION
Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. In addition, campers will be evaluated and then split up into smaller groups according to age and ability.
HEALTH & RELEASE FORMS
All registered campers are required to have a parent or legal guardian fill out US Sports Camps’ mandatory Health & Release Forms online before arrival at camp. This camp does NOT require a doctor's signature on the forms.
INFORMATION PACKET
A detailed Information Packet containing check-in location and address, on-site staff contact information, a checklist of things to bring, site-specific forms, and more will be emailed to all registered campers prior to camp. To check if your Information Packet is ready, click here.
PEACE OF MIND POLICY
At US Sports Camps, we hope you will not have to cancel your enrollment in camp. If you do though, there are options. For details on our Cancellation Policy, including cancellations of camp by US Sports Camps, please visit: www.ussportscamps.com/peace-of-mind-policy
TRANSPORTATION
Transportation is not provided by the camp to or from any airports. If you are flying to or from camp, we recommend using an airport shuttle service. Please schedule flights as close as you can to the check-in times on the first day and check-out times on the last day.
SCHOLARSHIPS
We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK
August 18, 2019: I was happy that she came home tired every day. The kids were either working in skills or playing games all day long. She was happy they were not just sitting in the gym waiting for long periods of time. Rowan’s coach was Jada and she was great with her. Thank you for all your hard work.

Amazing Coaches!
July 13, 2018: The energy was so on fire. Everyone from the staff to the other campers were amazing. The facility was nice. The camp was beyond worth it. Loved the Games and workouts/drills. The Nike Basketball Camp was just what I needed to learn how to improve the way I play basketball. Special shout out to Anthony my game coach for giving me that push to be amazing. He gave me that extra drive and built my confidence in the game. You were exceptional. I also want to thank Tony who coached me through the workouts and drills. He kept clapping us on and giving the most honest feedback to know where I need improvement and what my strengths are! Now I can continue to work on my craft with a clearer understanding of the game. Every staff member I must say made a good impact on me. Love this camp wish it was longer-term

Most well rounded camp
July 13, 2018: This was by far the most well rounded sports camp I have ever seen. They had a plan, made decisions quickly and carefully and checked in with every child. Director was as focused on the emotional aspects as well as the fundamentals of the game. He expected the kids to grow as people as much as players. Remarkable and grateful to watch.

The staff excelled at helping kids focus and stay motivated.
July 13, 2017: My daughter was encouraged to improve her skills through a structured plan at this camp. She initially felt awkward playing in a co-ed environment but the coaches truly made her feel as just another athlete in a competitive game. The staff excelled at helping the kids focus on the ball and kept them motivated. We're definitely coming back next year! My sincere admiration to coaches and staff for their dedication.

The coaches gave my daughter a deeper understanding of basketball.
I am so grateful that the coaches gave my daughter a deeper understanding of basketball. The day after camp finished, for the first time ever, she insisted that we head out to the court to practice. She practiced with discipline, and dedication, pushing herself further than I have ever seen.

Constant motivation.
I enjoyed that there was constant motivation to try harder, even if I lacked skills. I also enjoyed how the coaches instructed us, and how it was organized by level (many other camps promise that, but don't deliver).
