  • Thank you for a great experience! Both of my boys enjoyed camp and came home enthusiastic to keep playing!
  • Grayson learned a lot. What I was most impressed with was the players evaluation. Coach Daelon was spot on with Grayson’s strengths and weaknesses. Great coaching and insight in such a small amount of time. Grayson’s first question as we were leaving was, “can I come back next year?”
  • Christopher was very excited about the camp and talked a lot about the drills and how he was able to learn to finally get the footwork down for his layups. He is new to basketball and this camp was amazing for him.

  • I love the enthusiasm that the coaches bring to this camp, they love basketball and that shows in the way they teach and treat the players! They go out of their way to encourage every player to play their best and the lessons they teach go beyond the court. AWESOME job coaches!!

  • This camp encouraged strong teamwork and good citizenship. My athlete learned something new each day and was excited to return the following day. Camp leadership was knowledgeable and worked well with the age group.
  • Good focus on skill development through repetition of specific plays. My son came out of the camp with a much better grasp of good passing and dribbling with his head up...which has clearly improved his game. Thumbs up to the coordinators, director and coaches. Well done!
  • It seemed very well organized. It kept my son very engaged and interested. My son came home every day telling me it was awesome!
  • My son's coach was an excellent, attentive and supportive coach. My son felt supported and learned a great deal. He loved the team camaraderie. The head coach was super also. Strong, clear and garnered respect from all. Very nice that he asked the boys to thank their parents for giving them the opportunity to go to this wonderful camp. Much appreciated comment from him.
  • My son loved playing basketball and learning more with his friends. He loved the coaching staff and was excited to go every day. It was great! He is on the wait list for the shooting camp!
  • It's all about the energy the camp staff brings to the court. It starts with the Camp director and flows nicely to the coaches. Real positive atmosphere, kids love the mix ups in ages and the feedback is a big plus. We have experience with multiple camps right now and this is by far the best in price/quality.
  • Coaches were great. We felt our son was safe and having fun. A suggestion would be to have some music in the gym, to start the day and get the kids fired up upon entering camp.
  • The coaches were encouraging and super nice. The other kids friendly. Very much liked the various games that were played. The games were super fun.
  • This was my son's second year. He liked being remembered by the coaching staff. He was physically exhausted but not emotionally - perfect combo.
  • George loved this camp! This was the first time he's actually learned something at a camp instead of it just being summer daycare.
