In addition to an emphasis on skill development, camp will also aim to improve each players athleticism and explosiveness.

His aggressiveness and skills on the court during games improved dramatically
June 27, 2021: His aggressiveness and skills on the court during games improved dramatically, and after pretty much every day he would keep telling me how much fun he had and just how much better and more comfortable he got!

Kamryn spoke highly of all coaches
August 2, 2019: It was long but well worth it. The coaches demanded their listening skills in every drill. Kamryn was one of four girls but Kamryn mixed in well and I believe playing against the boys helped a lot. She never backed down and added some aggressiveness to her game. Kamryn spoke highly of all coaches but mainly of hers, Coach Terry. I believe Kamryn will go to another camp in the near future. This camp motivated her to be a better player.

Highlights included playing games and watching the coaches half-court shot challenge. Michael loved camp so much we signed up for the 2nd session later this summer!

Amazing experience!

I am overall satisfied and hope to stay in touch with both coaches.
We are military living in Germany at the moment, as well as attending German school. It was important to find out if my son can compete on a States sides level and has a future in the sport. A coach as well as the head coach addressed my concern. The techniques and skill sets were evaluated and can now be worked on differently. I am overall satisfied and hope to stay in touch with both coaches as well as looking forward to enrolling my son into another camp next summer.

My 9 year old beginner improved so much
My 9 year old beginner improved so much in such a short time! He wanted to practice more at home. The camp director was excellent! He is very knowledgeable, great with the kids, and also incorporated discipline (which you don't see much anymore!). I would recommend the camp to everyone.

Overall the Nike Basketball Camp was a great experience for my child. We have participated in many other camps before. The instructors at each training station took the time to make sure each child understood what was being taught and how this would benefit them in a game. Also each instructor would work with each child to increase their individual moral and ensure them with work they would get it down. Other camps I've had my child go to in the past seem to just want as many kids to sign up to benefit them financially. Instead of looking out for the player's benefit.
