Boys' Basketball Camp

Mastering anything without persistent, disciplined focus and effort is nearly impossible. G&L Basketball Camp gives boys the opportunity to learn and practice specific skills for three weeks, five days per week.

As skills improve, game-like pressure will be introduced to refine their techniques and decision-making skills -- all in a non-threatening, positive, encouraging atmosphere. And that’s what kids need to grow and learn.

Here’ the best part: Kids experience growth and success from committed effort. True, they will improve as basketball players -- but they also will learn the process of success that can transfer to any arena of their choosing…. school, sports, music, anything!

Three weeks, five days per week of training are available – for a total of 15 sessions – and the kids choose how many days to attend. Thus, the responsibility lies with them, as it should.

We will meet again in September and October to encourage continued growth, polish our skills, and encourage further success. Weekly encouraging emails will be sent to stay connected and motivate growth in basketball, school and other areas of their lives.

Specifically, G&L Boys’ Basketball Camp will focus on the following skills:

• Ball Handling: Stationary dribbling, dribble on the move, slaps, around, spin, keyboard, machine, figure 8, spider, V-dribble, back and front, side, drop chop, throw clap, cross-over
• Passing: Meet pass, V-cut, bounce, overhead, fake & take
• Shooting: Touch to improve to pressure shooting
• Defense: Cup in lane
• Movement: Pick-n-roll, screen, back door cut… Triple threat!

The first half of each session focuses on skill development, while the second half consists of small sided games with emphasis on learned skills.

Friday is dedicated to small sided games.
