If you are truly interested in getting better as a player this Nike Camp is for you. The instructors were professional and eager to teach. I learned so much and would not hesitate to attend again, I learned so much from the experience. I told all of my friends about the camp and the most memorable moment was meeting the NBA player.

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.

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.

Enthusiastic Coaches
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 it showed the players there is more to be a good player/athlete than just making baskets. Being in shape is also very important.

Loved it!
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.

Our son loved all of it!

My daughter has already asked to go back next year.
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.
