Megan Murphy | Clinton Corners, New York

“I wanted to drop you a note and tell you how impressed I was with every aspect of the program. From your leadership to your instructors, I believe you have made a positive impact both on my son as well as me. I will admit to coming to PGC as a coach and thinking I wouldn’t learn much. I have been to a lot of “camps” in my time and thought this would primarily be good for my son. There are not many times that I think I got more than I paid for, but as far as I am concerned you couldn’t charge enough for the experience we both had. I believe it will change my son’s life as well as my own. I am going to use SCHAPE with all of my teams and we have instituted its principals in my own home!”

Sean O’Neil, Hudson | Hudson, New Hampshire

Any player who wants to have a serious chance to play college basketball—especially at the 'D1' level—needs to attend PGC. Going to PGC is the smartest move you can ever make.

Greg Tudor | West Lafayette, Indiana

Joe Osborn | Fort Wayne, Indiana

“The classroom sessions changed my game more than anything else. I particularly loved the Unruffleability and the Extra Ounce lectures.”

You know exactly what you are talking about, and you are the smartest person I know when it comes to basketball.”

My Kids Attitude is the Best I've Seen in a Long Time!
I'm not sure as to the effectiveness of his game but I can attest to his attitude and character and let me tell you the playmaker college course as well as the coaches have brought out in Caleb what I've seen in him all along. I just didn't have the tools, or whatever Caleb needed, to help him shine like you guys have!! It took PGC one week to do what I've been trying to do for 15 years lol. Thanks to all of you I've got one heck of a kid now. And this is just the beginning. I'm so excited to see what the next course teaches and enhances in my son not only on the court but in everyday life! Thank you PGC you guys rock!
This Was An Experience Unlike You Will Find Anywhere Else
I spend a lot of time with my players working on the culture of our team and now I realize that I also need to start working with them on the mental side. I loved the classroom sessions and plan to steal all those "dimes" Marke was dropping and use them in my practices. This was the most impressive camp I have ever been a part of and I loved the unique atmosphere of being an observing coach and seeing how someone like Marke coaches. I'm excited to attend a coaching clinic in the future, but this was an experience unlike you will find anywhere else.
Brought Back Her Love of the Game
My daughter had a wonderful time. She loved the Sranton University campus and all the coaches and staff that helped her while she was at camp. She was afraid to go to camp, but now she can't wait till next year to return. I feel her skills and confidence improved. This program was what I was looking for so my daughter's confidence and love for the game would grow. Thank you to all the directors and staff that helped my daughter!
This Course Has Helped Me Break Down Important Teaching Points
Oh my gosh, I don't know where to begin. I feel it is a big part of my job to mentor and support my players. This course has helped me break down important teaching points both for teaching the game, but more importantly mentoring my players with their life skills. I am so excited to get back in the gym and implement these concepts with my team. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will be back.
New Confidence for My Daughter
My daughter is entering her Freshman year and wanted to hone in our her skills. She only started playing basketball in 6th grade and loves the game. She learned a lot about her position as well as being a better leader than she already was. PGC has given her new confidence and drive to get out and play even more and harder. She made amazing friendships and is excited to come back for more next year!
This Experience Was Incredible
This experience was incredible. the energy, curriculum, and staff was all the best it could possibly be. Everything was extremely organized, thoroughly thought out, and executed well. Everyone was a leader by the end of the camp, and it's truly remarkable how an encouraging environment can result in such a change in players, in such a short amount of time.
I Love How This Course Teaches More Than Just Basketball
I love how this course teaches so much more than just basketball. As a specific example, the lesson on handshaking and the use of it during the commitment statement presentations. This is a life skill that is invaluable to the players. Thank you for reinforcing this with my daughter as well as giving me a reminder to I still it in my players.
No AC
It was awesome I just wish the food was a little better and the dorms and gym had ac.
They Taught More Than Just Basketball
Craig & Staff did a phenomenal job not only teaching the game of basketball, but more importantly the game of life. His passion & sincerity were “through the roof.” He & his staff changed lives & players for the better w/out a doubt. I’m grateful for the opportunity to attend such an awesome environment along w/ my daughter. #Blessed
My Kid Was the Worst Player There...
He was the least skilled kid at the camp. And came away with a lot of drills. Most kids would go to a camp and lose confidence in themselves if they were the least skilled. This camp taught the character traits of a good teammate and my son felt included in everything. He also learned that you can still contribute without all of the stats.
My Son is Confident, Excited, Energized and Goal Oriented
My son came home more confident, excited, energized and goal oriented than I have ever seen him. Today he is playing in a tournament and on the Court he is the best I’ve seen him play. He is confident, making great shots, passes and his defense is outstanding. Most of all, he is so HAPPY! Thank you PGC!
Re-Energized Mentally & Emotionally As A Coach
I was re-energized mentally and emotionally as a coach. I also learned some great individual skills for my athletes. I also learned some better communication skills in dealing with athletes. PGC helped me realize honesty and clarity is best for athletes even if it is a difficult truth for them to hear.
Elitel Instructor and Coaches
Coach Clint was so hospitable to us as observing coaches. I appreciate his checking in regularly with us for questions we’ve had. He did such a great job connecting with players and coaches. He is an elite instructor but very personable with people. He is a PRO in all meanings of the word.
the Life Lessons Reminded Me Why I Started Coaching In the First Place
This experience gave me the tools and confidence and even wake up call to be selfish in my own journey in coaching and have the confidence to believe in my own ability. the Xs and Os boosted my confidence while the life lessons interlaced reminded me why I started coaching in the first place.
Stratton Hallows
Point Guard Prep has taught me a lot about not just moves, but about how even if you don't play you can still impact the game by being a good teammate and an energy-giver. I also learned to put others first, build others up, and do hard things by pushing your limits and stretching yourself.
It was good but I was very tired
It was good but I was very tired
He Bloomed in His Game
As a parent, I was able to see my son start to bloom not only in his game but as an individual. I saw a change before my eyes. It was nice to witness. As one of his high school coaches, I saw a student-athlete start to own it and figure out how to get those around him to come with him.
Life-changing experience that I have never experienced before.
Life-changing experience that I have never experienced before. This course and the instructors involved have not only helped me gain some knowledge on the game but also grow as a person most importantly and also reignite my passion for coaching after a rough year at my school.
Helped My Son's Athletic Development
This camp was extremely beneficial for my son's athletic development, however it was even more impactful for his mentality. He learned intangible characters like leadership, mental toughness, and confidence. These are characteristics that are beneficial off the court as well.
Basketball was awesome, dorms not so much
Dorms weren’t great but the basketball was awesome
I was blown away
I read the reviews online and they were all positive so I came in with very high expectations. With that being said, I was blown away. I feel like a different person as well as a coach. Its like I had tunnel vision coaching views that all of a sudden were opened. Unbelievable
Lou Cheeseman
What makes the PGC camp fun is that everything is made into a game or competition. I definitely learned a lot (push & pull, peek fakes, twist passes, etc.). I also really like the classroom because we get a break and I feel like it helped us learn more.
PGC is One of the Best Investments You Can Make!
PGC is one of the absolute best investments I have made in my son’s growth as a basketball player and as a young man. Each experience is different and excellent in its own way. The directors continue to impress and Chad is the ultimate role model.
Taught Me the Importance of Not Just Playing the Game...
Taught me the importance of not only playing the game but watching the game as well and how much it impacts your game on and off the court in general. Taught me the things I sometimes already knew but to greater extent and basketball IQ levels!
PGC changed my life.
He was always so passionate with us and always showed everyone what it was like to be a true leader! I have never felt the caring embrace of so many people in my life before! It had truly changed my life and it will continue to change my life.
Extremely Worth My Time and Energy
PGC Grad School led by director Brad was extremely worth my time and energy. Of course there were times when I was tired and zoned out, but with the energy my director brought I was able to push through and gain tons of helpful information.
Creating A Culture Of Learning, Accountability & Leadership
Coaching skills in the gym in a progression that leads to intelligent FUN play with more looks, more scoring passes, better reads. Creating a culture of learning, accountability and leadership. How to watch and break down film.
Re-wronte All His Notes
Connor LOVED PGC camp. He took notes and then came home and re-wrote all of his notes and read them to us each day and showed us examples. He's only 11 and he learned things that will last him a lifetime, on and off the court!
Exactly What I Needed To Advance My Program
This week has been exactly what I needed to get the tools to help advance my program. From the concepts taught in the camp, to the collaboration with the other observing coaches, this week was a life and game changer for me.
Great for Parents and Players!
I have attended PGC over 10 years now. I am so excited to see my own kids take advantage of the teachings PGC provides. I have seen a change in my own kiddos, as well as my athletes. Thank you for the opportunity.
Daughter is Ready to Get Back in the Gym
Our daughter was clearly motivated by the end of this camp. She was excited by the content in the classroom and the drills in the gym. She is excited to apply what she learned to take her game to the next level.
High Level of Encouragement
My sons were absolutely impressed at the level of engagement at the camp and attested to the fact that the PGC camp reiterated many things they had been thought at their home teams but even more useful tips.
A Fun Week of Camp
I throughly enjoyed my experience at camp this week. Connecting with the coaches and other players is simple as we all have like interests. The competitions throughout the week make the camp fun.
the Best Camp I'Ve Attended
This was the best camp I've attended. As a coach you may think you know it all, however I learned a lot that I can add to my coaching and teaching of the sport of basketball and life.
The Progression of the Camp Improves Learning!
The amount of content shared and the progressions that they are shared in through film, technique training, guided reps and live is amazing. Great way to teach the game. Thank You
There Aren't Enough Words or Time
There isn't enough time to explain the experience that we all took in this week.. Its impossible to explain the atmosphere that was brought. It was something we will never forget.
Delivered Learnings Into Palatable Portions
I was able to gain a glimpse at how larger concepts in basketball can be broken down and delivered into palatable portions that athletes are able to implement rather quickly.
I Have Greatly Benefited From This Course
I have greatly benefited from this course. It helped me look deeper at the little things that make a huge difference. My practices will look and sound different from now on.
So Tired

Excited To Introduce the Terminology To My Athletes

Stepped Out of My Comfort Zone
The camp was a great experience for me. I was able to step out of my comfort zone and stay away from home for a week while doing the game I love.
Effective Experience For My Players
I love the new methods I've learned to increase the energy level in the gym to make for a more fun and more effective experience for my players.
