These 4-day, position-specific camps are a unique opportunity for players to refine their skills and develop a better understanding of how positions and teams work together on the floor. Players are invited to attend the camp specific to their position (perimeter or post) to work on drills and strategies related to their position. This camp is different from most of our other summer camps and clinics because instruction is much more specific and detailed, and therefore requires players to have a solid understanding of the game (at least 3 years league play required).

Perimeter Players will focus on:

Developing court leadership
Attacking the basket against man-to-man as well as zone defenses
Feeding the post
Shooting off the dribble
Passing and screening with precision
And more!

Post Players will focus on:

Setting screens and getting yourself open
Rebounding and outlet passing
Scoring in the low post
Improving footwork and agility
Developing mid-range shooting
