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. Well, the same is for basketball. There must be a strong foundation in fundamentals for continuous individual improvement. In addition to an emphasis on skill development, camp will also aim to improve each players athleticism and explosiveness.

    • 5/5.

    August 14, 2022: My son came home able to articulate what he learned and has been practicing since. The staff didn't settle, you can tell this was intended to be an experience where the students were going to learn from serious coaches. He was given constructive feedback, taught the skill better and received affirming feedback as well when he did good.
