The camp: “Above the Rim” skills camps are intended for young basketball players who are dedicated and serious about bringing their game to the next level. Our sessions will teach the camper what we call “micro fundamentals.” These critical often overlooked parts of skill development will be improved through technical drills that will improve: ball handling, shooting, passing, rebounding, and defense. Campers will be put into groups according to ability, size, and skill level. The goal is for every camper to leave the camp with a better understanding of how to practice, and what to practice to see rapid growth in individual skills in a team environment. Each camper will receive their own Individual Development Program and will set goals for themselves for the upcoming year. Come take the challenge!
