CAMP OUTLINE
Warm-up: Foam Roll/Static Stretch/Stabilization/Core & Balance/Dynamic Warm-Up/Injury Prevention -- Warming up properly is the #1 thing you can do to prevent injury. We go to great lengths to make sure your body is properly stretched and stabilized before we begin training.
SAQ Attack: Speed/Quickness/Explosion/Footwork/Agility/Strength -- We will teach you the proper techniques of movement, change of direction, acceleration, deceleration, and jump/landing techniques.
Footwork: Catch & Shoot/Half Court Attack/Catch Attack/Dribble Attack/Transition Attack/Finishing Moves -- The quality of your: catching, passing, shooting and ball handling is directly related to the quality of your footwork. Our workouts are literally “built from the ground up.”
Conditioning: With Out Ball/With Ball/Combination/Competitive Drills/Controlled Scrimmage -- Once a habit has been formed it must be applied when tired and at game speeds. Out workouts conclude with an opportunity to perform learned skills in a competitive setting.
Cool Down: Foam Roll/Static Stretch/Core Stabilization/Partner Stretch/Band Stretch -- Cool down is a period vital to the regenerative process. When basketball is long done, you will still have your body to live with. A little time now will pay great dividends later in life.
BASKETBALLS
Nike All Court Elite Basketballs can be purchased during registration for $35. Players can choose between a size 6 (28.5", standard girls) or size 7 (29.5", standard boys) ball, which will be passed out on the last day of camp. Please note that it is not required to bring a basketball to camp as they are provided by the staff for camp instruction.

August 20, 2019: He improved over the course of the 4-day camp, but what I was really impressed with was the amount of hard work and skillset forth by Niko and the other participants. Thank you for organizing!

Without hesitation, we would recommend Nike basketball camps
June 21, 2021: Jaden's experience: Fun, safe, and awesome. Jaden is always willing to learn. Camp staff provided a positive and basketball learning environment for Jaden. Camp staff presented positive body language and encouragement toward campers. Coach Pete is great. We liked how he displayed discipline toward a few of the campers. Some coaches would let questionable behavior go without discipline, but not coach Pete. Overall, the camp provided a healthy multi-dimensional space for mental focus, learning, and conditioning. Without hesitation, we would recommend Nike basketball camps. We'll be back. Thank you for everything you do. Catch you on the rebound, Dewey and Jaden.

July 1, 2022: I enjoyed seeing the encouragement and involvement of the camp staff and campers. My child, who is very shy and timid, was exhausted but was well worth the exhaustion. It gave her more confidence in herself and her game.
