ULTIMATE CHAMPIONS PHILOSOPHY
In order to be successful there has to be a strong foundation. If a builder is building a house, he must have a strong foundation in order for the house to stand properly over time.

In addition to an emphasis on skill development, camp will also aim to improve each players athleticism and explosiveness.

Very organized camp
August 13, 2021: For a second week this summer, Jackson participated in the camp at St. Joseph's College. He was very happy with the drills, games, coaching, and feedback.

We would definitely send him back to another week of camp in the future
April 09, 2018: My son felt that his skills greatly improved and that this was the first real training he got in basketball. He felt it was a really great work out too.

Perfect balance.
April 09, 2018: Our son was well supported and included in everything even though he was younger and less developed than most if not all other campers. He was also challenged and not coddled, which was the perfect balance.
