“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

Best $300 vacation ever
First, it was a boost personally. Coaches, like everyone else, get worn down over time. It was great to be around the PGC staff, other coaches, and a really motivated group of players. The how-you-learn stuff was great. There were numerous "one-percenters" to take away. They challenged my way of thinking on a few things. It was well worth the time, without a doubt the best $300 vacation ever. I have already recommended this to other coaches and parents of players. I was very impressed with three things relative to any camp I have seen before: 1. Zero wasted time. 2. Everything you all did was intentional, and most drills, etc. had multiple things you were trying to accomplish. 3. The focus on players coaching other players was excellent.
Found a Supportive Family Far From Home
Simonas was getting a bit homesick prior to arriving at Wheaton College and this concerned me. But the camps active schedule helped him focus on his love for basketball and his commitment to improve as a player. His enthusiasm for the camp on our ride home convinced me that it had been a valuable experience. Please express our sincere thanks to your staff for the kind attention and support they game this young man who was far from home. We are very grateful.
there Are Not Enough Words To Describe the Incredible Experience I'Ve Had At PGC Playmaker College
there are not enough words to describe the incredible experience I've had at PGC Playmaker College. the course itself was set up wonderfully and was full of pertinent information. I know the athletes had to have learned so much because I did as a coach. Specifically, I took away how to bring a spirited culture to a gym and a classroom. I also learned how to structure a practice and have gained many coaching points to bring to my athletes.
Sore and Tired
Overall my experience and PGC was pretty good. I had a lot of fun with meeting new people and playing and learning the game. The only downside was that I was always sore and tired throughout the week.
No AC
It was awesome I just wish the food was a little better and the dorms and gym had ac.
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.
the Team Atmosphere Created In 5 Days Was Amazing
the course was an amazing experience for me. I have heard and seen a lot of the content before but seeing it taught and executed by the directors and coaches brought it to another level. I will bring back many of the drills, and the games played but mainly the energy that was brought daily. the team atmosphere created in less than 5 days between players that mostly didn't know each other was amazing.
It was good but I was very tired
It was good but I was very tired
My Son Won't Stop Talking about Camp
My son can't stop talking about his camp. He enjoyed it so much more than any of us were expecting! He loved the coaches, and formed wonderful friendships. He learned so much about basketball AND about being a leader. We picked him up and he said "how is it possible I am closer to these guys then I am to my high school team". A sad commentary on our school team, but high praise for camp!!
Should Have Started Attending Sooner
Oh my she loved the camp!! We just wish she would have attended before her going into her senior year of High School. Everything she learned will benefit her not only on the court but off the court. We will highly recommend this camp to others and believe there will already be more that will attend next year from out area. Thank you for provideing her this opportunity.
Will Definitely Try to Get All My Players to Attend
I learned so so so much over the 5 days. It makes me motivated to take what I learned and try to spread it throughout my program. I loved everything about this program at PGC they teach the kids basketball but also stuff to use throughout their life. I will definitely try and get all my player to attend this course and other courses you provide.
He Had Fun While Learning!
This was my sons first time attending. Number one he had fun which is key to continuing a sport - you have to love it and that usually means it has to be fun. He felt it was competitive which is something other camps have lacked. He learned a lot in the classroom and was excited to show me his notes.
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.
The Perfect "I Do, We Do, You Do" Approach to Learning
It exceeded mine and my daughters expectations in so many ways! My daughter works by seeing things visually so seeing it on the film, having the coaches show her and then having her do it is the perfect "I do, we do, you do" approach that she needs to learn effectively.
Food wasn’t great, dorms were ok, basketball was great.

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.
Learned the Deatils!
For my first time ever in PGC this flipping amazing! I don’t think i’ve ever gone to a basketball camp that really dives into the smaller details of this game. Learning those details really helped me look at the game differently. So thank you very much!
PGC is One of the Best Investments You Can Make!
PGC is one of the absolute best investments I have made in my son’s growth as a basketball player and as a young man. Each experience is different and excellent in its own way. The directors continue to impress and Chad is the ultimate role model.
Taught Me the Importance of Not Just Playing the Game...
Taught me the importance of not only playing the game but watching the game as well and how much it impacts your game on and off the court in general. Taught me the things I sometimes already knew but to greater extent and basketball IQ levels!
I always learn so much about basketball but most importantly life.
I always learn so much about basketball but most importantly life. I really liked the emphasis on being a good leader and how to sheep dog teammates. I have already attended this course, but I found myself learning new things in every session.
Extremely Worth My Time and Energy
PGC Grad School led by director Brad was extremely worth my time and energy. Of course there were times when I was tired and zoned out, but with the energy my director brought I was able to push through and gain tons of helpful information.
The Classroom Sessions Impacted Me Most
This week was great. I loved how we were put with our team on day two which gave us time to bond and get to know each other. I loved the amount of basketball we played and I believe the classroom session are what we impact me the most.
Creating A Culture Of Learning, Accountability & Leadership
Coaching skills in the gym in a progression that leads to intelligent FUN play with more looks, more scoring passes, better reads. Creating a culture of learning, accountability and leadership. How to watch and break down film.
Developed A Winning Attitude
It made a 100% difference with Amirah playing the game. She has a winning attitude, she interact with her team on the floor, her body language is more positive and she motivates her team now vocally and hand claps.
This was my sixth PGC course.
This is my sixth PGC course. I still continue to bring STUFF back home to my own teaching. I love the enthusiasm Pgc staff brings and it continually motivates me to be a better person as well as a coach. Love it!!!

Haigen Harrison
After Point Guard Prep, I feel differently about basketball. I used to only like basketball but now I LOVE basketball. I feel like I’m one thousand times better. All of the coaches made the experience amazing!
Mentally and Physically Exhausting...
It was a mentally and physically exhausting week but I would do it again in a heart beat. The kind loving people around and just the genuine care each of the instructors has for the players is fantastic.
One of the Best Weeks of Her Life!
It was one of the best weeks of her life, the informaton in skills are very useful for helping her on the court and in life. We appreciate the well-rounded teachings that apply to basketball and beyond.

Signing Them Up for Me!
What a great job Katie has done! I feel like she was the best director my 4th and 6th grade sons could have! Great work! I can't wait to sign up for more camps for both of my sons next year.
Everything I Learned is so Valuable!
I loved how we had the same team for the entire camp. The things we learned on and off the court from all the great players, instructors, observing coaches, and the director are so valuable.
Gained Confidence. She is More Aggressive & Assertive
My daughter gained confidence, got more aggressive & assertive throughout the course of the week from techniques & just from the PGC culture, which is exactly what I was hoping would happen.
