“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

Food Not Great
Great camp. The cafe food definitely could have been better.
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
PGC has changed my life
PGC has changed my life not only as a coach but as a person. It has taught me so much about being a leader and a father. I had the opportunity to observe the pgc and watched transform the athletes into a better them. The director was amazing she was so motivational and inspiring. She created a culture that was unbelievable and the kids loved every minute of it. Her staff was also great they really served the kids and helped them grow and become better.
Nowhere Else is there an Experience Quite Like This
Grad is by far the single best I have improved at basketball at once. I feel like I have not only grown as a basketball player , but also as a leader and human being moving forward. Nowhere else is there an experience quite like this. I have recommended this to all of my teammates and have gotten several of the to come. Thank you to everyone who has served the athletes this week. What you guys have done for me and my game will never leave me.
Leadership Content Was Outstanding And Can Be Applied In All Aspects Of Life
This experience allowed me to see different ways of implementing key concepts and skills that players at all levels can use to better their game. Quick mental queues that will allow players to refocus and do what they were taught. the leadership content was outstanding and can be applied in all aspects of life, not just basketball. I will be applying these concepts and manipulating them to fit my professional career.
I've been to 9 courses now...
PGC is always a transformational/refreshing experience for me as a coach. I enjoy watching the process of all the athletes as they grow throughout the week. I've been to 9 courses now and they are always great. You can see that there is thought and time put into improving the curriculum and the way they do things every year. Thank you for being a light! Michael Goad Drew Central Lady Pirates
Unique Skill Development Curriculum
PGC basketball provides a unique skill development curriculum by SCHAPE’ing the environment. This camp provided my daughter a positive, like-minded environment that gave her to old on how to train basic skills, game-based learning experiences, and life lessons. With the completion of her camp she now has the inner fire to improve her game and be a positive influence on and off the court.
Gave Me A Wealth Of Knowledge
Adding a wealth of knowledge especially to my weaknesses, but overall will improve my coaching approach. While we already introduced a curriculum through classroom lessons, this course has given me more content and ideas so I can continue expanding my curriculum. the biggest takeaway for our upcoming season will be focused on replicating the energy that PGC was able to create here.
I'm ready to take the PGC principles back to Norway...
It's crazy. I feel like I can go back to Norway and create the best training environment Norway has ever seen. These 5 days has been so educational and inspirational. Hayes had the kids extremely motivated and the difference between day 1 and day 5 is huge! I recommend this to anyone that wants to grow as a person and a basketball player. Tony Wilkins, A Head Coach from Norway
It was good but I was very tired

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.
I Wanted to Quit Basketball But Not Anymore...

Coach Rudy, Coach Tyler and their staff were beyond amazing all week. After a day and a half I had already gotten more than enough to make the experience worth it. Great leadership, culture and care for people and the awesome game of basketball.
