2-Day School Holiday Basketball Camp
The ‘Intermediate’ Camp is intended for players who are becoming more competent and confident in executing the fundamentals of basketball in trainings & games properly and under pressure. These players possess a moderate to above moderate level of experience playing organised basketball in schools, social leagues, associations and possibly in lower to mid-level divisions at district clubs. However, these players still have room for improvement. They are lacking in the consistent physical and/or mental application and execution of skills and gameplay. Our ‘Intermediate’ Camp will focus on both the refinement and improvement of each players fundamentals, as well as the introduction of new advanced skills for this level.
Our ‘Advanced’ Camp is purposed for kids with a high level of experience playing organised basketball in schools, leagues, clubs & tournaments. These kids own well-defined skills in one or multiple areas of the game while also possessing the physical and mental strengths that are essential to success. The advanced player is self-motivated to play and train 3-4 days per week and at times may train or practice twice in one day without hesitation. Advanced players are generally on the top teams at their school and/or district clubs and have identified basketball as their primary sport.
Below is a summary of the fundamentals that our players will learn and develop in skill, knowledge, and execution.
