    Coach Moses is so great with the kids. Not just on basketball, but on overall life skills. I will definitely be doing more of these camps and all programs that ASA offers. The younger coaches clearly have been trained well and have a lot of passion for the sport, and for kids in general. Very organized and fun for the kids!

CAMPER EVALUATION

ASA and Nike Basketball Camps are geared for all ages and abilities. Campers are expected to work hard, be receptive to coaching, exhibit discipline, have a strong work ethic, and be serious about basketball. As a staff we pride ourselves in being a teaching camp first with scrimmages and contests will take place throughout the week. Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. In addition, campers will be evaluated and then split up into smaller groups according to age and ability. A closing ceremony will take place on the last day prior to check-out for full day campers. Parents are invited to attend the closing ceremony!

MEDICAL PROTOCOL

Most clinics have an athletic trainer on-site to help with illness or injury. In case of an emergency, campers will be transported to the nearest hospital.
