“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

The atmosphere at PGC is unlike anything else
Coach Ed provided me with a lot of new information this week that I will never forget and that will change me as both a player and as a person. Also, the leadership that he displayed in front of us every single second of everyday was inspiring. Everyone trusted him, listened to him, and truly respected him almost instantly. He worked incredibly hard to make this week special for every single one of the athletes and I can not thank him enough for the experience I had. The atmosphere at PGC is unlike anything else I have every been a part of and it was like that my last session as well. I am always sad to leave this camp, but I also always leave with a renewed passion for the game and drive to get better and I am so thankful for that. Also, I learned a ton of new information at this course that will definitely help to improve my game as well as my ability to be an overall good person and leader.
This was the best basketball experience I have ever had.
This was the best basketball experience I have ever had. I have been to so many basketball camps growing up, I played college basketball, and I have never seen anything like this. I was so thankful for the things that they taught, and know that the players that came from the school I coach at not only had fun, but learned an incredible amount about the game of basketball and life. I will be recommending this to everyone of my players so that they have the Chance to experience this as well. It will greatly help their lives, and greatly help our program! Very thankful for this opportunity. Thank you so much
Such High Energy!
Such high energy! I loved seeing the enthusiasm of the staff, since it really got the other kids and my son pumped up and excited to play and have fun. He came out of the camp with new moves, he loves "POOP" and continues to review his notebook. He is trying to get rid of "unfair" from his vocabulary, and understands the importance of hustle. He already understands the importance of time working on his shot and his ball handling, but this camp reinforced more of the soft skills that are so important for a good player to become great.
I Count Myself Lucky to Have Attended
-Chad was an excellent model in all that he taught. He passionate about what he teaches and gives clear expectations for all who is involved in his session. His passion and energy is contagious. I have been lucky in attending a course with such directors who share in the same beliefs as I do. Chad has assisted in me putting in words and actions of what I expect of myself and program. I appreciate how he is able to share his stories for the students t get a visualization of how it relates to life.
Communication Was Top Notch!
From the very first interaction with PGC, which was a phone call with questions before booking, everything was top notch! All communications for preparing were timely, detailed and provided much peace of mind. Arrival and check-in was smooth and the parent meeting on day one assured us we had made a good decision and investment. Everything exceeded our expectations.
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
My Life Will be Changed Forever
Overall my experience at this camp was fantastic. I am very excited about imputing all the new things I learned into my life and into basketball. And I cant stress enough the impact that the non basketball classroom sessions had on my life. From talking about nutrition to finance to leadership, my life will be forever changed.
Too much walking
I thought Washington University was great, the food was good, but I don’t appreciate the walking.
Scoring College is my Favorite PGC Camp
Scoring College is probably my favorite PGC camp, so I was pumped when I signed up for this camp. When I got here, I met so many awesome people and instantly connected and became friends. The environment at this camp was so incredibly fun and infectious, with so many great athletes, awesome coaches, and great directors.
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.
Life Changing
The Grad School is an amazing experience and is overall life changing. It was extremely impactful to learn not only the valuable PGC concepts taught in the previous course but add to if by instilling life long skills on and off the court from health and wealth to what in your mind and how to properly drive your mind.
So Many Fabulous Lessons
I appreciate the classroom discussions so very much. Teaching the kids to take notes. Encouraging & teaching them to stand up in front of others and speak without fidgeting, with a leadership voice. I appreciate the celebration, feedback, celebration stacking for feedback. So many fabulous lessons . . .
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.
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.
She Was Intimidated at First...
She felt a lessor player, and was intimidated by the ability of older more capable players when they were grouped together. She did much better once they were separated by age and ability, and came out feeling more confident in her ability, so that is a big positive!
I'd Come Back a Million Times!
Best camp I go to and I’d come back a million times. Also one of the best way to improve your game on/off the court, you come out more confident, better as a player of the game and leader. This camp just makes you better as a player physically and mentally.
My Son Learned So Much in 1 Week
My son learned so much in 1 week at the PGC camp it was amazing. He took notes, listened to new concepts and grew into a new phase of his basketball journey! He asked me if he could attend next year too and that was after day 1 of the camp when he asked me!
No AC
It was awesome I just wish the food was a little better and the dorms and gym had ac.
