“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

Left a Boy and Came Back a Man!
Words cannot describe how beneficial this camp was for my son! He left a boy and came back a young man. This was my son first time away from home and I didn’t know who was more nervous me or him. He’s generally a shy kid so I was worried about him interacting with his peers. After the first day of camp I talked to him before he went to bed and he was having a great time with the guys in the dorm. The social interaction took him out of his comfort zone and he made friends. In reference to the basketball portion, my son’s basketball IQ has grown tremendously! His outlook on the game has completely changed and now he has a swagger about himself. We watched the finals this past week and he was able to diagnose different parts of the game that he’s never don’t before. The classroom portion was excellent for him and seeing it made a huge impact. I am a more than satisfied parent with PGC and my son has already decided to attend the fall mini camps as well. #PGC FOR LIFE
Raised Court Awareness
Micah Gatewood expressed how much the camp gave him more options for being in position to score the ball. After the camp he said, “i can not wait to get on the court to use what I learned. He broke down S.C.H.A.P.E when he got into the car and his insights were incredible, especially how he made it relevant to how he could apply it immediately, on and off the court. Lastly, although he hurt his wrist the 2nd day, the PGC Staff used him as a coach for the week. This has lit a fire for coaching inside of Micah and he expressed, “I know I needed to think about life after basketball. I really like coaching and I think this is another option.” He even expressed joining PGC as an intern.
I Didn't Recognize My Kid..
When I picked my son up from camp, I did not recognize him at first. His entire body language has changed. He was fortunate to be greatly impacted by the teachings of Coach Mills and Coston. Konner has made friends that have created a level up mindset. ( DJ, Mana, Dane, Nicole, and Canaan. This has been a transformative week for my son. I am excited about what the future brings. He spoke of how all the coaches challenged him to level up and showed him the way. We had a 4 hour drive home and he told me about the camp the entire way. This was followed up by 2 hours on our court at home showing me PGC things. I had coffee with him this morning still providing me feedback on PGC. Thank you!
Beyond What We Thought It Would Be
The PGC experience exceed all our expectations. We knew it was going to be good, but after my son attended it was beyond what he thought it was going to be. The leadership, direction in playing the game of basketball, teaching the ability to be an amazing athlete on and off the court, mental toughness, confidence, working hard, problem solving and the way the directors and coaches executed there ability to teach all of that was absolutely incredible.
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.
Great Quotes & Sayings to Help Kids Remember New Skills
I loved learned the progressions a d seeing how much you can add in 1 drill and keep adding to it without having a million different drills. I also love having fun little quotes or saying to help kids remember a skill. We will be implementing a lot of those as a coaching staff this coming season. I also loved the energy as positivity from all of the staff.
Re-invigorating Experience!
This experience re-invigorated my perspective. It reminded me that I’m doing some things right/well but that there is so much farther/further to go. I was inspired by the commitment to having a championship gym every time we work. I learned a ton and feel better equipped to lead my team. The progressions and content overall were excellent.
Great Team of Professiionals!
The "camp" was phenomenal. It truly is more like college, and Delano learned so much. He has already canceled one camp that he used to attend regularly, because nothing compares to PGC. This is truly a well organized, dedicated team of professionals who want to take their knowledge and make athletes the best that they can be.
Learned How to Be a Good Teammate and a Good Person
My son said this has been the best camp he has ever attended (including other sport camps). I like how he not only learned important skills but also how to be a good teammate and good person on and off the court. I am thoroughly satisfied with the camp and its curriculum. He has already asked if he can attend another session.
He Became a Leader!
We gave him a pep talk before camp began and told him it was his choice to step outside his comfort zone in order to grow as a player and person. He chose to do this. We are so proud of him! He had a game later the same day we picked him up and was vocal, energetic, helpful to his teammates and on point. He was a leader!
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.
I Love Coming to PGC
I love coming to PGC. This is by far the best camp I have ever been to, I love getting to learn and think the game here with these amazing coaches.
