Reviews & Testimonials

Positive experience!
June 27, 2021: My son got in the car after the last day of camp and the first thing he said was “I’m going back next year”. Such a positive experience. The staff is knowledgeable and showed the boys how to improve their skills. The coaches were approachable and had lots of good information both for the boys and parents. Having lunch included and not having to pack a lunch every day was a plus!
-
I have been offered a full scholarship because of this camp.
This was the last summer that I was eligible to attend a Nike camp and I chose to come back to the Sacred Heart Basketball camp because I had learned so much from them the previous 2 times that I had been there. I have been offered a full scholarship to continue my basketball career in college and I believe that the Sacred Heart staff helped me to develop into the post player that I am today and helped me to reach a level to be able to play in college.

Great Feedback from Coaches

A well organized, worthwhile basketball camp!
This camp was SO WELL ORGANIZED and had a lot less attendees than other camps. My son received personalized instruction and a written review of his skills. Drop-off and pick-up were a snap. There was absolutely no confusion. The Sacred Heart University facilities were super-clean and well maintained. My son wishes to return next year. He also felt that he had learned something! This was not the case at other camps!! Kudos to Coach Anthony Latina for running a well organized, worthwhile basketball camp!
-
The coaches were very encouraging

My son was in awe of the players who were the camp counselors.
My son was in awe of the players who were the camp counselors. They were great with the boys. He loved the nickname Iggy that his coach, Cane, gave him. He came away from camp feeling confident and really good about his playing, but he also came away knowing what he needs to work on. I love that he has a goal. We also loved getting a written evaluation. This camp is money well spent, and we will definitely make room in the budget for it next year! Thank you so much to everyone, but especially to Cane. He was encouraging and taught my son so much about the game. Impressive!
