  • My son really enjoyed working with Coach Jerry. He explained drills and visibly showed them as well which helped with his level/age group.
  • The camp evaluation encouraged Luke. Also, the open gym after camp for my son to practice a bit afterwards was great.
  • Both kids won awards for achievements in competitions and being new to the area they were able to get out of their comfort zone and find success.
  • It was great watching my son, and others in his group, gain a better understanding of basketball, make new friendships, and see their skill sets grow.
  • The camp facility, coaches, and daily agenda were fantastic! We can’t wait for camp next year. This was my son’s first basketball camp and we traveled 2 hours and stayed the week locally to attend and it was the best experience. Coach Ivey and his staff were outstanding!
  • My son had an excellent week. The staff were friendly and it was exactly what he needed for skill development.
