Reviews & Testimonials
-
thank you to all the coaches
August 2, 2019: Diego came home exhausted but enthusiastic and energized every day. Exactly what I was hoping for, thank you to all the coaches!
-
Good focus on skill development
July 16, 2017: 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!
-
Thank you!
August 18, 2016: Thank you for a great experience! Both of my boys enjoyed camp and came home enthusiastic to keep playing!
-
Real Positive Atmosphere
July 18, 2018: 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.
-
Our son was safe and having fun.
August 14, 2016: 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.
-
Grayson Learned A Lot!
June 29, 2018: 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?”
-
Thank you Devon
July 14, 2017: Devon was awesome! He gave positive and constructive feedback and made the camp fun. My son has never enjoyed a camp or coach more than this one! Thank you Devon!

This is the first camp my son wants to go back to.
June 25, 2016: My son does not like camps, because he usually doesn't find them fun (He has attended various soccer, lacrosse, basketball, football, track, and swimming camps). This is the first camp where he has asked if he can go back again. Active and organized, the two best traits of any sports camp. Good energy and fun. My son liked all of the competitions, especially working on individual skills that led to scrimmages. A very positive overall experience. Kudos to the camp.
-
Perfect combo

June 29, 2018: 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!!

June 15, 2023: For me as a parent, it was the inclusivity of all of the kids regardless of skill level. For my son, it was all the fun and brushing up on skills but mostly meeting Darius Gakwasi. As it turns out he went to the same school my son currently goes to and his nephew is a current student there too. Great connection!
