Under the tutelage of Coach Pottkotter, our camps feature a teaching progression with an emphasis on 3-on-3 competitions, drills, skill work, and fundamentals. The goal is to develop better basketball players—players who think the game, understand spacing, make smart decisions, and compete on both ends.
“Understanding spacing and movement away from the ball are crucial skills that many players need to develop. At camp, we prioritize these fundamentals during 3-on-3 all week and discuss strategies for reading the defense and creating space. Throughout camp, we employ various dribble and pass restrictions to encourage effective player and ball movement.” -Kyle Pottkotter, Director (Columbus, OH)

Caden had a great time at camp! All aspects were fun and it challenged him. He is trying to make his middle school basketball team in the fall and this will give him some good things to work on. Thank you!!
Coach Kyle encouraged a healthy and encouraging enviroment for the kids. When we asked to move our son to an older age group so that he was challenged the staff was very receptive and accommodating.
Anna absolutely loved camp. She is an 8th grader with very little to say about most. Every day SHE shared the days events. She was challenged and really enjoyed all the coaches. We were even approached by a coach who said he would love to train/coach her. This is the next step we've been looking for. Thank you for all your time and effort. I will definitely recommend this camp.
David stated that the camp was great because he is now a better basketball team player. He said that he learned to shoot better and learned new techniques of team play. David met new friends and was very comfortable at camp. The coaches gave him a lot of positive feedback. Overall, he loved the experience and plans to attend again as soon as possible!

I have never seen Jacob happier! In the past, Jacob has had a hard time adjusting to summer camps. I was amazed at how his attitude changed just after day one. He loved camp so much he actually cried when we left because he was sad it was over. We will definitely sign up again next year!

Luke had a great time at camp! He loved coming home and showing us all the drills he learned. It was neat to see him come home and practice everything he learned at camp!

Sam seemed to enjoy the 3v3 style games. She also learned more about defending and guarding the ball. The camp was wonderful. I could already see the different in Sam's play. I love that she had to play against boys. Makes them play harder. Thank you for the great experience.
My son enjoyed the organization of the drills and how they were demonstrated first. He also said that the coaches were very helpful and cool! He is now practicing the skills he learned at camp almost every day, especially the combination spider drill and switch hand ball drill, which he loves!
They loved the coaches and how personable they were. They also liked that they were with kids at the same experience levels, vs. feeling overwhelmed and inadequate.
