Basketball Camp for Beginners to Elite Players - Age 5-13- This option is offered at PSA 1, PSA Murphy and PSA McKinney.
These half day camps will develop and improve basketball skills, including shooting, rebounding, dribbling, passing, and team concepts. The players will be broken up based on the criteria that takes into account age, skill level and sometimes if possible, we will have boys and girls split up if our numbers allow. Most of the time the boys and girls will play together as we use the recreation center approach, whoever shows up we divide up and play! Most of our Prep Program coaches are used in this camp and will teach the kids what they need to start on their journey to achieve the highest level of success in basketball. A snack is included in the fee. Campers do not need to bring a ball or a water bottle. Make it a full day with a Finish the Day FlexiPass Add On.
This camp is for High B, A or Club/Select type players who want to learn advanced concepts and strategies to help prepare them for school tryouts. This camp will be limited to the first 32 players who sign up each session.
Some of the top High School Coaches in the area will be running this camp along with elite club coaches who work in our excellent School Tryout Prep Program (STPP). We have a great success rate working with 7th-10th graders helping them make their teams and now we are bringing this program to our younger athletes so they can get a jump on the competition. This camp will focus on teaching team concepts along with advanced skills so the players will have a better understanding of what it takes to make a school team. The concepts that will be taught will include: fast break drills taught at middle schools, multiple defensive sets that include traps in the half court, full and half court pressure defense, motion offense, zone offense, set plays, set inbound plays and last second winning plays. The campers will spend the first hour doing skills work, the second hour working on team concepts and will finish up with at least a 40-minute scrimmage. These players will be pushed so they can understand what they will encounter when they try out for their school team. This camp is NOT for beginners or kids who really don’t love the game of basketball. We will provide a snack and reversible jersey which is included in the fee. Campers do not need to bring a ball.
