“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

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!
Brought Back Motivation for the Game
It brought back some motivation for the game that had slipped. From the moment he walked in to register and April welcomed him back by name. That lite him up. Great job all around. I hesitate scheduling him for a second camp with a female director but by the middle of the week him wanted to have her again. I knew that she is a highly skilled trainer but I just wanted to make sure he would embrace the training team. Before the was out, i had him scheduled with her again. Thanks PGC for not only teaching basketball but all of the other character building traits that you work to instill. Wes
I Really Liked the Focus On Decision Making
I really liked the focus on decision making, the focus on peeking at the basket/down the floor is very key. Also, I intend to really reinforace power position with my team this year. That and Mo Stops. I think some of the open court dribbling stuff is what I will use the most. the Mo Stops/Changes, butt cutts and pullbacks are essential tools. I will also use some of the language from the classroom to talk about leadership with my players.
PGC is by far the best basketball experience of my entire life.
Coach Micah helped me improve on my game, change my mentality and the way I approach everything. PGC is by far the best basketball experience of my entire life. The way they teach the game, and make you get new and better habits is just great. In 1 week I improved more than in 1 year of basketball and I'm really looking forward to next season to see how my new on and off the court habits show
Love the energy, love the competition, didn't love the food
Love the energy, love the competition, didnt love the food but loved meeting so many new friends who had the same interests as me.
Truly transformed in 5 days!
I feel like I am a 10 times better coach and leader than when I entered on Monday. Being around like minded people has added to the fire that I have to build a winning culture and program. I am ready to go home and SERVE the people in my program, my classroom, and my school in a way that is intentional and transformational. Money well spent!! Truly transformed in 5 days! Gotten better!!
Stretched Out of Comfort Zone in the Best Way!
The PGC camp was extremely beneficial for my two sons in that it is a multi-dimensional course experience. They received SO much more than just a traditional basketball camp can provide. They were stretched outside of their comfort zone even before drop off in that they needed to prepare for the week, pack their necessities and exercise their independent thinking while away from home.
I wish I had PGC earlier in my high school career
Helped me a lot with confidence and I didn't know that before coming here that his lessons would help shape me into a better leader and overall a better person. His personal stories and energy is great! Life changing experience that gives me an idea of what I have to do to be great. I wish I would have had this earlier in my high school career
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
By Far My Favorite and Best Overall Experience
Since I started playing basketball and started to attended Basketball camps. I've been to many in my little time but this being my first PGC camp was by far my favorite and the best one for an overall experience. I learned more than just basketball I learned how to be a better person and what it takes to be successful in life. Thank you
He Just Keeps Talking About It...
Creighton (11 years old absolutely loved Katie and the entire crew. He could not stop talking about how much he learned this week in camp and how it was one of his favorite camps he had ever attended. After camp concluded we went to a father/son camp in IA City and Creighton Immediately implemented what he had learned.
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!
He Poured Everything He Could Into the Athletes
The way Chad taught and explained himself fully and just poured everything he could into the athletes just inspires me. The way he broke down film so easily with no hesitation was definitely something I would love to be able to do in the future! I cannot wait to come back - as an athlete a bi or a OC again!
30 Years of Coaching and This Camp Was the Best!
I have attended many many classes over a 30 year career and this was one of the best I have attended. The Director was honest, helpful, and in command of the class at all times. The material was excellent and he was able to get the material to the students in a way all could understand. Excellent class.
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.
Simply the best!!!
This experience is exactly that - an experience. It is simply the best that I have ever attended in over 20yrs of coaching. I highly recommend it to all levels of coaches. Bring lots of note taking materials - you will need them. You will truly enjoy every minute.
I Wanted to Quit Basketball But Not Anymore...
I went into PGC expecting to stop playing basketball after my freshman year (I’m going into 9th this year but I came out enjoying the game so much more and with a much clearer understanding. I can’t wait to apply everything I learned to games and practice at home.
Too much walking
I thought Washington University was great, the food was good, but I don’t appreciate the walking.
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!
Gave Me More Advanced Drills
Gave me more advanced drills for my more skilled players and gave me good on-site on how to create a good culture. I like the moves that where taught. Now to install them into practice and have kids work through the struggle will be big
Attentive and Helpful!
Great camp and all of the camp coaches were excellent being attentive and helpful when I had questions or needed help. Took away several new ideas and teachings that I am eager to incorporate with my team this next season! Thank you!!
Varsity Team as a Freshman
My daughter was fortunate & talented enough to get to start on her high school varsity team as a freshman and she will tell you the vast majority of the things that coaches like about her she learned from PGC!!! Thank you so much!!!
Changed me as a athlete, leader, and teammate.
Best week. Demanded precision, eye contact, energy, and a championship environment. Changed me as a athlete, leader, and teammate. This course made me think the game in a whole new way and gave me elements to implement in my game!
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!
PGC is a class organization.
This was my third time to attend and as always I'm fortunate to be able to attend such a class organization. I truly appreciate the experience that I receive from it. I owe the majority of my teams success to PGC. Thank y'all
Positive. Fun. Inclusive.
My son JJ thought that all the PGC coaches were great and learned a lot from them all. He especially enjoyed Director Rudy, who made himself very accessible to the campers and kept everything positive, fun and inclusive.
Every Serious Hooper Shoudl Attend...
Nothing but good things to say. It’s only going to help my career moving forward. It’d be hard to come here, in this environment, and not get better. Every serious hooper should attend one of these in their career.
Learned so Much About the Mental Aspect of the Game
The best PGC course i’ve been to, I learned so much about mental aspect of basketball. This just made me realize that you have to practice the mental part of the game just like you do the shooting and ball handing.
So Tired
I was tired and sore but i learned a lot and it was worth it.
PGC is completely inspiring.
PGC really changed my life and my thoughts not just on basketball but how to handle life. I've learned more in this week about basketball then my whole life. I loved every minute of this place. Completely inspiring.
Very Inisghtful for All of Us
The session was very insightful for me. I had 5 athletes attending the course and they all agreed they would like to come back to PGC for a different curriculum. They learned a lot and they enjoyed the experience.
Everyone Here Is Amazing

I Can'T Wait To Use the Skills I Got From PGC
I LOVED this camp! This was the first basketball camp I've gone to in a long time that I genuinely enjoyed. This camp taught me so much about my game and I can't wait to use that skill set I got from PGC.
PGC made me reevaluate how I run my program
This week's experience was inspiring, insightful and uplifting. It has made me reevaluate how I run my program and how to better instill the lessons of life that the game of basketball can teach.
Building A Culture That Is Conducive To Winning
As a coach you always ask yourself if you are building a culture that is conducive to winning. PGC was an affirmation that I am doing those things in my program and that I am teaching the game.
Signing Them Up for Me!
What a great job Katie has done! I feel like she was the best director my 4th and 6th grade sons could have! Great work! I can't wait to sign up for more camps for both of my sons next year.
I Have 10 Pages Of Notes, Seriously
I have 10 pages of notes, seriously. Enough said. Loved it. And this comes from someone who has been employed at the NBA and D1 levels. Thank you. If you want/need a testimonial, reach out.
Boring Food
I felt I learned a lot about basketball and how to be a better play on the court and off but I feel the food should of changed more frequently because I felt I was eating the same thing every day.
Coaches from all sports should attend
This is a course all coaches should attend, not just basketball coaches... It has been a good week that has built my confidence as a coach of young athletes. Keep up the great work.
Food Not Great
Great camp. The cafe food definitely could have been better.
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.
