WHAT FAMILIES SAY ABOUT Nike Basketball Camp at Davidson Academy
14 Reviews
What I saw as a parent observed was the good sportsmanship that was and respect that was shown by both staff and students. Each student was praised for his effort(s) .Thanks
We LOVED this camp! We did another local camp prior to this one and it didn’t come close to comparing. I love the positive atmosphere and how the coaches are always pushing the kids to be their best. All of the coaches truly looked like they wanted to be there, we’re having fun and were invested the whole time. I love how they were all people my son could look up to. They always preached positivity and being a good teammate which is not only important in basketball but in life! The challenges they had and the way they set up the competitions was great motivation for my son to do his best. He was able to step out of his comfort zone and I feel like his confidence while playing has gone up a lot. He’s already asking when he can go to his next camp! Drew Maddux is the real deal and I’m so happy that we chose his camp this summer. As long as my son is interested in basketball, we’ll be signing up for his camps!
Mason had a great week at camp. He came home every day with a smile on his face every day. He loved the coaches that were there and requested to attend camp again the next week.
We loved getting feedback on my son strengths and weaknesses.
Feeling successful as he used what he learned in the drills during scrimmages.
The coaches are fully engaged, clearly love kids and basketball. Coach Harper is fantastic from minute 1 in outlining expectations for basketball and behavior. Fantastic experience all around for competitive and fun basketball.
My child always has a great experience at this camp. Really all of it.
I felt like my child's coach really took the time to work with everyone and made it a fun week.
The highlight was the competition and meeting other players. Also just being able to be in the gym doing what he loves for a week brings a lot of joy.
My son was definitely challenged this year, and would express his enjoyment every day.
My son was challenged on a new level and had a great time and really liked the coaches.

Isaiah really enjoyed the camp, the staff was very supportive. Isaiah will be able to take these fundamental skills learned at camp and use them to get ready for his upcoming season. He will also be attending this camp next summer. GREAT STAFF, AWESOME CAMP!
