What do players learn at a PGC Basketball Camp?

Every summer, over 12,000 players from across North America attend a PGC camp so they can learn “how to think the game” and become the smartest player on the floor.

But PGC is not for every player…

PGC is an intense, no-nonsense week of camp designed for serious, dedicated players only who are willing to put in the unseen hours of hard work required to reach their goals. The days are long and the nights are even longer (sometimes we play into the wee hours of the morning).

At camp, players focus on game-changing skills like:

1. Basketball IQ: Learning how to incorporate the “little things” and contribute to your team in ways that give coaches no choice but to pay more attention to you.
2. Gaining a Confident Mindset: Learning how to overcome setbacks, losing, injuries, being benched, unfair treatment, and all the things that rob players of their confidence and joy for the game.
3. Becoming a Leader: Learning how to inspire teammates, foster a sense of urgency and get others to work together at a high performance level.
4. Playmaking: Learning how to read the defense and make better decisions with the ball.

These are the kind of intangibles that mostly go unnoticed by your average player and fan in the stands but that coaches at the high school, NCAA, NBA and WNBA level look at when deciding who they want playing on their team.

Players in the 4th-7th grade have the option to attend a Point Guard Prep day basketball camp, while players from 7th grade all the way up to the collegiate level can attend one of the following PGC overnight basketball camps as part of the PGC 3-Course Curriculum:

1. Playmaker College → 2. Scoring College → 3. Point Guard College

 
What makes PGC different from other camps?

If you want your child to be immersed in a basketball training program where they’ll benefit from a scientifically-proven, mult-dimensional approach that maximizes learning by taking advantage of their personal learning style, then you’ll probably like the PGC teaching method…

We call it:

HEAR IT. SEE IT. DO IT.

1. HEAR IT – Intense Classroom Learning Sessions
   Make sure you send your child to camp with their notebook and pen to take full advantage of their time at PGC! Three times a day, they’ll attend classroom sessions. While class is in session, they’ll be expected to listen attentively, ask questions, broaden their understanding of the game, and take the classroom information onto the court and transform it directly into effective play. The week will conclude with a written final exam on their understanding of the game.
2. SEE IT – Video Analysis
   Video analysis is an integral part of the learning process at PGC. Students will study actual game footage of NCAA, NBA and WNBA players to see examples – both good and bad – of every aspect of effective play. This in-depth analysis can deepen your child’s understanding of the game and help them to watch – and play – basketball in a more intelligent way.
3. DO IT – Court Time Designed to Reinforce Good Habits
   Gym sessions at PGC are designed to turn the concepts taught in the classroom into productive action on the court. Specialized drills and game situations are used to build physical and mental habits that lead to smart, effective play.
