ACADEMY PHILOSOPHY and ORGANIZATION

The off-season is the growth season for all basketball players. That is, it is the time that players use to improve their individual skills.  It is our desire to help young players grow in all phases of their game. We provide these players with the necessary direction for the individual practice programs.  Positive attitude, correct skill development, and sound game knowledge will provide the young player with a strong foundation upon which to build her basketball success.

We strive to give as much individual attention as possible to each camper throughout the week.  We know that in some camp situations the coaches and counselors are not always the best role models for today’s young players, we seek to be special in that way, and want to leave a positive and meaningful impression on each athlete during their week at camp.

Each day will consist of three, 2-3 hour training sessions – Morning, Afternoon, Evening.  Each session will build upon the next as we continually try to challenge the campers to try to master different fundamentals of the game.  Campers will be in teaching stations, skill breakdown drills, skills factory’s, and short sided games.  Training sessions will also include fun competitions and the ever popular 5 v 5 league play.  We strive to make the camp both challenging and fun for all campers.

The camp is will be divided into 2 or 3 different groups for the week of camp.  These groups will be organzed through grade and talent.  All training and competition takes place in these groups to allow for different levels of experience and skill to be grouped together.  Within each league campers will be assigned to a team and a coach for the week of camp.

Discounts:

Groups of 6: $20.00 each - must enter the same day

Sister(s): $20.00 each

GROUP and SIBLING DISCOUNTS CAN NOT BE APPLIED AFTER COMPLETING THE REGISTRATION. PLEASE CONTACT COACH MILLER AT mmiller@messiah.edu FOR YOUR DISCOUNT CODE PRIOR TO COMPLETING THE REGISTRATION.
