This basketball camp will focus on learning, improving, and refining your skills in both drill and game settings. Camp takes place at MMU and is for boys and girls of all ability levels. While camp stresses proper form and fundamentals for all, more seasoned players who are looking for more advanced instruction will be appropriately challenged. Less experienced players will be challenged with others of similar skill and taught level appropriate lessons and drills. The staff will spend time working with players to improve their fundamental skills including shooting, defense, passing, and dribbling as well as game play situations, positioning, and working with and without the ball in actual game settings. The camp ends with a tournament with mixed teams led by the staff, and many fun games are incorporated throughout the week.

Male and female high school players serve as role models and camp staff. The instructors are teachers and coaches working with middle and high school students. We promote a competitive, friendly, safe, and informative environment and try to foster a love for basketball.

All ability levels are encouraged to participate. Whether you intend to try out for school teams or play for fun in your backyard, the camp will help with your skills. The camp stresses fundamentals but will incorporate team drills, small group game play, a tournament, drill stations, and many other games for all skill levels. Bring a friend, and improve your game this summer and winter.
