Camp Philosophy

We believe that teaching basketball is more than setting up cones and blowing a whistle; we believe the "why" behind a philosophy or technique is just as important as the "how" and players deserve to know both! Our elite staff members will provide a clear, progressive and detailed approach, in an effort to promote the maximum development of each and every player. Our daily commitment to excellence will be achieved by creating a POSITIVE atmosphere that fosters success!

Camp Reviews

    July 25, 2022: Everything about the camp was great. First day Sonia Chase explained the policies, safety, skill set, purpose of the camp and how much fun our campers would enjoy. This is my 5th year with Coach Chase and my son doesn't attend any other location. Camp leader was professional and loved all the camper (Coach Raphael McNeil ). Evaluations gave parents a snapshot of their campers potential at the beginning of camp and post evaluation let the parents see growth and points to focus on after camp concluded. I love this camp, the staff and my son will attend until he graduates from H.S.

    July 25, 2023: The coaches were tough but fair in their assessments. Loved that my child received before and after evaluations with detailed suggestions for skills to work on. Really appreciate the caring environment and so many male coaches that can help teach our boys not just how to play but how to act like young men. Thank you!
