Coach Laura Sellers | Normal, Illinois

“PGC is a fantastic experience for players and coaches. You will leave this program not only a better basketball player, but a better person. I would love to have an entire team of PGC graduates.

Megan Murphy | Clinton Corners, New York

“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

Such High Energy!
Such high energy! I loved seeing the enthusiasm of the staff, since it really got the other kids and my son pumped up and excited to play and have fun. He came out of the camp with new moves, he loves "POOP" and continues to review his notebook. He is trying to get rid of "unfair" from his vocabulary, and understands the importance of hustle. He already understands the importance of time working on his shot and his ball handling, but this camp reinforced more of the soft skills that are so important for a good player to become great.
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.
Great Reminders About Being Intentional, Being Present & Having A Growth Mindset
the course has given me great reminders about being intentional being present having a growth mindset. Additionally I have gained confidence experiencing this opportunity I have been given. I enjoyed the discussions with fellow coaches, the directors and hearing the in classroom feedback from players. I brought my son to this course based on what I read in the course description. I would bring my son back and my older son back again and again for these Life lessons!!
He Went Injured and Still Learned a Lot
My son was injured before camp started as he fractured a finger in a basketball game a few weeks prior. He was not sure if he would get much out of the camp with him being injured, but that could not have been farther from the truth. This was his third PGC camp and I think that he may have gotten more out of this one than the other two when he wasn't injured. He loved the coaches and the environment and is looking forward to his next PGC camp. 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.
Can't Wait For Him to Attend Next Year!
What I loved about this camp, is that it was so much more than a skills camp. It taught my son how to be so much more than an athlete. He learned how to be a true leader on and off the court. Most kids his age just care about being the best shooter and making the most points, and this is the first time that he saw how that is not what makes you stand out as an athlete. I can't wait for him to attend other camps next year!
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
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 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.
This Experience Was Incredible
This experience was incredible. the energy, curriculum, and staff was all the best it could possibly be. Everything was extremely organized, thoroughly thought out, and executed well. Everyone was a leader by the end of the camp, and it's truly remarkable how an encouraging environment can result in such a change in players, in such a short amount of time.
Great Way to Introduce Life Skills to Teenagers!
Life skills are being taught! Obviously from the basketball game perspective but I love that the mindset can be used in all aspects of life! What a great way to introduce them to teenagers! Lucky kids - don’t know if they all see the value of it! But great for the ones who are paying attention and assimilating them into their lives!
Scoring College is my Favorite PGC Camp
Scoring College is probably my favorite PGC camp, so I was pumped when I signed up for this camp. When I got here, I met so many awesome people and instantly connected and became friends. The environment at this camp was so incredibly fun and infectious, with so many great athletes, awesome coaches, and great directors.
My Son is Confident, Excited, Energized and Goal Oriented
My son came home more confident, excited, energized and goal oriented than I have ever seen him. Today he is playing in a tournament and on the Court he is the best I’ve seen him play. He is confident, making great shots, passes and his defense is outstanding. Most of all, he is so HAPPY! Thank you PGC!
It was good but I was very tired
It was good but I was very tired
I Could Almost Cry!
Staff! Every staff member knew my child’s name and who he was! The life skills content (classroom) exceeded my expectations! You hit on everything my son NEEDED. I could almost cry! I think coming from someone credible other than Mom may make the difference. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
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.
Stratton Hallows
Point Guard Prep has taught me a lot about not just moves, but about how even if you don't play you can still impact the game by being a good teammate and an energy-giver. I also learned to put others first, build others up, and do hard things by pushing your limits and stretching yourself.
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.
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!
Experience Basketball In A New Setting And Build Up His Confidence
Paxon came home smiling, enjoying every day, and talking about his experience with me on the ride home. I think it was a great way for him to experience basketball in a new setting, learn something new, compete and build up his confidence.
Insanely Valuable Course!
This course is insanely valuable! I picked up so many things beyond basketball which I am incredibly grateful for. The information on mistake responses, confidence, leadership in addition to ball skills were worth their weight in gold!
Exactly What I Needed To Advance My Program
This week has been exactly what I needed to get the tools to help advance my program. From the concepts taught in the camp, to the collaboration with the other observing coaches, this week was a life and game changer for me.
Positive. Fun. Inclusive.

Mentally and Physically Exhausting...

My Son Already Misses Being at PGC!
My son was very happy and already said he “misses” being at PGC! He is 13 years old but was playing up against 11th grade kids based on his skill level. Really happy PGC saw that and moved him up!
