Reviews & Testimonials

We LOVED this camp!
July 13, 2021: 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!

July 1, 2022: 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.
-
July 2, 2022: Teamwork was encouraged and praised -- he has played the past three years at a middle school where individualism reigned and teamwork and assists were laughed at.
-
July 1, 2023: 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
-
July 11, 2022: The highlight of this camp experience was that my son's skills for teamwork and creating assists by passing to teammates was not only appreciated, but also valued by the camp's coaches and director. At the middle school where he has played the past three years., attention was only given to those who decided to stand alone in an effort to call attention to themselves. Because basketball is a team sport and my son values the team sport aspect of the game, it always confused him when he was condemned at school for not being aggressive enough because he passed the ball and set up plays.

This camp had a better ratio than most.
