“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

My Son Was Hesitant to Go at First...
My son was hesitant to go to PGC basketball camp (due to the overnight aspect of it). My husband and I knew he would love it and told him we wanted him to go and stick it out. We assured him he would agree after the first night and felt it was important for him to tackle this productive struggle. He did in fact LOVE it and is asking to go back next summer. I was very impressed with the 3rd day parent night. It was nice to see what my son was doing in the classroom and on the court. Showing videos and discussing the plays, proved to engage and teach the athletes. I know my son was attentive and engaged as he was raising his hand to answer questions. It also seemed that Nick made an effort to learn the player's names. You can tell he is an educator! I was also impressed with the note taking aspect during classroom time. Teaching the players to be their best selves on and off the court, having a growth mindset, and showing respect as a player and person were all amazing parts of the camp. We loved this camp!
Helpful Seeing Coaches Manage Players With Differing Skill Levels
the camp was obviously full of players with differing skill levels. It was helpful to see the coaches working through this on court. It was also very helpful to have ideas on how to extend drills for higher level players. I attended this camp with our 3rd son to go through PGC. It was my first time, but I was familiar with many of the principles as PGC is spoken of often in our household. the principles apply to so many things. My husband (a multiple time attender) uses the principles and language of PGC in leading our boys. My older sons use the principles and language in their college and work lives now. the leadership concepts are timeless and applicable across life. I love that my boys get those through practicing them in a game we all love.
PGC Echoed Everything I've Been Telling My Son
It is not easy being the coach of your own child. I have witnessed so much of his success as a leader of his team, yet I have also witnessed his struggles to find and maintain confidence. PGC echoed all of the advice I have given him over these past few years. I also have a roadmap on how to support and manage the mentality of my athletes. I have a better approach now to organizing, creating habits, and teaching fundamental techniques that make the game easier to play just by thinking about the details.
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
It Helped Renew My Energy To Keep Coaching
PGC resonates with my natural coaching philosophy and thus legitimizes my instincts, while giving me the vocabulary and confidence to follow them more fully. (Gamefying, positivity, larger purpose of building cultural leaders rather than merely skilled players) It also helped renew my energy to keep coaching, even in potentially more challenging situations.
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.
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!
This experience has changed my approach
This experience has changed my approach as a coach. As someone who is forever a student of the game, I couldn't stop smiling this week. The atmosphere behind 'SCHAPE' Principles is such a genius simplicity that will change the way in which I strive to impact my girls and prepare them for the next level/stages of their lives.
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 . . .
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.
Recommended This Camp to Every Serious Coach and Player
We had 5 players attend and saw growth in all of them. It will definitely help us in the future. The coaches did a great job of supporting the director and providing energy to the group. I would recommend that everyone who is serious about coaching or playing attend PGC. Amazing experience, thank you
So Welcoming!
It was very good, learned a lot of new things to take back with me. Although it is a basketball camp, they teach you things that apply to all aspects of life. The PGC environment is so welcoming and makes you play harder and better. Also you meet new people that help you become better
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.
No AC
It was awesome I just wish the food was a little better and the dorms and gym had ac.
Great Camp Structure for Players and Coaches
I was very impressed with the structure of the camp. The energy that Coach Matt & staff brought was very infectious throughout the week. As an observing coach I had access to everything throughout the week and felt extremely welcomed! Thanks Coach Steinbrock
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.
I'm going to make my teammates better.
Coaches and staff were always there and in a way you could always rely as well as learning so much! I feel as if when I go back to my high school Im am going to be able to bring my teammates and I to the next level and be the coach on the floor
Basketball was awesome, dorms not so much
Dorms weren’t great but the basketball was awesome
Mistakes Are Part Of the Journey
I grew as a player and learned that mistakes are part of the journey and I also learned many important aspects that I should use throughout the rest of my life. It was amazing and I am so thankful for all the people and all they did for me.
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!

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
