Definitely Recommend
July 3, 2018: The camp was VERY organized, started right on time, and remained on schedule the entire week. My daughter received great instruction and was pushed to improve all week. The camp provided valuable feedback regarding her basketball skills to help her improve. The coaches did not "coddle/baby" the campers, but encouraged them and pushed them to try their hardest for each drill. I would definitely recommend this camp to other parents whose children are interested in basketball. Should our schedule allow, we will be back next year!

Coach Awvee and his team are all-stars.
Coach Awvee and his team - an all star team... This is the second year for both of our kids and they want to attend every single year - as many camps as possible. I did recommend this camp to one of my co-workers and he had both of his kids attend the camp. He was extremely impressed and was thankful for having introduced him there.

Thank you again- I'm sure we'll be seeing you at a Spring Break or Summer Camp next time around!
Dear Awvee -My daughter attended your Nike camp the week of July 17th and I have been meaning to send you a note of thanks. We really enjoyed the basketball tickets to the Mystics game. My daughter took two of her AAU basketball team members and they had a great time. It was such a nice treat - thank you. She always gets so much out of your camps and we appreciate the time and energy you put in to make it a positive, team building environment where kids of different skill levels get to contribute, develop their skills, and get feedback. We have put her in a few different camps, and we find yours the best. I know she is a better ball player because of the skill work and exposure to different playing styles. She loves the coaches as well. She definitely gained more confidence during the week. She came home excited as she had practiced (and landed) a bunch of 3 point shots during one of the days- which she has been trying for the past few months. That night, she had a summer league game and landed two in game play. She also landed two at AAU Nationals down in Orlando this past weekend - and she was really so proud of herself. Being a small guard, she is really working on her outside shots. She really does love the game. Thank you again - and I'm sure we'll be seeing you at a Spring Break or Summer Camp next time around!

Our children got individual time and coaching.
The kids attended 3 basketball camps this summer. This was the only one that provided a written evaluation. This was tremendously helpful. Now they know what they need to work on. As a parent, we really loved this because we felt that our children got individual time and coaching and not just lumped in with a big group.

The coaches were terrific, very professional and energetic.
My daughter has been to several basketball camps over the years, the Nike Camp at Ida Lee has been by far her best experience. The director, Mr. Storey did an excellent job working with her on her post moves and provided some great insight into his basketball career. The staff of coaches were terrific, very professional and energetic. My daughter can't wait for next year!
