    We loved the diversity of activities designed to improve my daughter's overall game.
  • Season 2022
    Our highlight was the camp director/coaches reiterating some of the things I was trying to teach my son at home. To see them spreading the same message and coaching him outside of that was really great. I hope he continues to get better and comes back next year with more skills.
  • Season 2022
    My son was chosen as camper of the week, and the coaches went out of their way to give him 1 on 1 help.
  • Season 2021
    Julian loved developing his skills and was very interested in listening to the guest speaker. He said all the counselors were very encouraging.
  • Season 2021
    Aryana is very self motivated and passionate about playing basketball. She found that camp elevated her strength training, elevating her shooting and guard training. She especially loved the drill stations and competition set ups. It was a mix of fun and intensity.
  • Season 2019
    Kai enjoyed learning how to shoot under pressure. He feels the camp improved his confidence and leadership skills!
  • Season 2019
    Joshua found the camp organized and felt the coaches were attentive to what was going on during camp. They also paid attention to 5 on 5 games, told him what needed improvement, and praised him when he did well. Overall he had a great time and wants to do it again in August.
  • Season 2018
    I thought the camp was well organized. I interacted with the director, Joel Green, the most. I found him enthusiastic and caring. My son enjoyed his time there; he improved on some aspects of his game; the non-basketball workouts were an excellent part in that is showed the players there is more to be a good player/athlete then just making baskets. Being in shape is also very important.
  • Season 2018
    My kid complains about everything but she didn’t have anything negative to say about this camp so you must have been something right! She did say that she felt like she got better but worried that she’d lose her skills by winter so hopefully we’ll be available to do the fall session with you so she continues to gain confidence.
  • Season 2016
    Our son loved all of it! We were very pleased with the training and interaction at the camp. He came home clearly improved in his skills. Very well done. He can't wait to come back next year!
  • Season 2016
    Joel runs a great camp and my daughter has been a rerun camper for 2-years straight. She has already asked to go back next year. Although she is an advanced player, she enjoyed playing with girls of various levels as well as the strength and agility drills and coaches v kids games.

Camp Coaches

  • Joel Green

    Joel Green

    Camp Director

    Joel Green, former professional player, founded Pro Level Training after realizing his undeniable passion for teaching and coaching. His goal is to help enhance player performance both physically and mentally by providing them uniquely designed skills and mental approaches they need to get a leg up on the competition.

    Joel Green

    Joel Green

    Camp Director

    Joel Green was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA and was an All-City basketball player for all four years of high school. After graduating from high school, he attended the well known Hargrave Military Academy for prep school to exercise more college options. While there, he helped lead Hargrave to a #1 national ranking by USA Today and became top 30 players in the country.

    Upon leaving Hargrave he began his collegiate career at Siena College where he was the top recruit. After an injury sidelined him, he was forced to sit out and red shirt his freshman year. To seek better opportunity, Joel transferred from Siena into the JUCO rankings to avoid sitting out yet another year by going to another 4 year school, which is NCAA regulation for transfers. While spending time in Junior College, Joel was able to win back-to-back National Titles making his way back to Division 1 basketball by signing with Rider University. After winning a Regular Season Title his senior season with the Broncs, he graduated with honors earning his BA in psychology. Joel began his professional career by playing in Ireland’s Superleague, which was followed by playing in both Spain and Venezuela while receiving a D-League contact along the way. A recent highlight for Joel was when he was invited to spend a few weeks with the 76ers during their preseason training.

    Over the years Joel has been featured in multiple commercials, print ads and also on a national TV show. Joel is the 2017 face of Cheez-It Crackers' latest national basketball campaign. This feature was a dream come true and gave him the opportunity to play in the Celebrity Crunch Classic, coached by Magic Johnson, playing against Charles Barkley's team of celebrities. In addition to all of this, Joel also travels to speak to many organizations, schools, and programs to help motivate & inspire others to maximize on their talents, skills and untapped potential.

    Pro Level Training

    Staff

    Pro Level Training’s concept is very simple: cover all grounds with everyone that we work with. In addition to skills training, we place major emphasis on the strength, conditioning and performance sides of the game.

    Pro level training

    Pro Level Training

    Staff

    The idea of Pro Level Training was conceived from Founder Joel Green’s desire to bring the “Pro” style of training and preparation to youth athletes. He saw that there was a need for athletes to learn how to properly prepare their minds and bodies for the game of basketball.

    Our goal is to improve the quality of individual on court performance by providing clients with the physical & mental tools needed to get to the next level of their career. We enjoy both training and educating players to get the most out of each session.
