“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.
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.
Everything is Top Notch at PGC!
I have 5 kids. Anthony is our youngest. All of our kids played basketball and went to camps. PGC exceeded my expectations in several ways. The organization. The environment and enthusiasm from all the coaches but most of all I love that there is classroom time and film time to have them sit and learn skills that are not taught only being on the court. Lastly, the communication, in the form of daily emails to let me know what was being taught each day was amazing. I wish I had known of this camp sooner. This was our first time with PGC.
Food wasn’t great, dorms were ok, basketball was great.
Food wasn’t great, dorms were ok, basketball was 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.
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
Preparing for Mistakes Before the Moment...
Our son came home having learned so much. While he was exhausted (in a good way he could not wait to tell us all about it. I asked him what he felt was his biggest take away from the week. He responded that one would be preparing for the moment and mistakes ahead of time so that when the "moment" or adversity comes you have already rehearsed how you will respond.
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.
I wish I had PGC earlier in my high school career
Helped me a lot with confidence and I didn't know that before coming here that his lessons would help shape me into a better leader and overall a better person. His personal stories and energy is great! Life changing experience that gives me an idea of what I have to do to be great. I wish I would have had this earlier in my high school career
My Kid Was the Worst Player There...
He was the least skilled kid at the camp. And came away with a lot of drills. Most kids would go to a camp and lose confidence in themselves if they were the least skilled. This camp taught the character traits of a good teammate and my son felt included in everything. He also learned that you can still contribute without all of the stats.
Taught Me How to Structure My Practices
Great teaching of the technique but more importantly teaching me how to structure practice to focus on those techniques and instill the right mindset in my players. Gamifying my practices will make a huge difference and including small-sided games into the rhythm of practice will really help
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.
Helped My Son's Athletic Development
This camp was extremely beneficial for my son's athletic development, however it was even more impactful for his mentality. He learned intangible characters like leadership, mental toughness, and confidence. These are characteristics that are beneficial off the court as well.
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 am most definetly coming back!!!
This was by far the best camp I've ever been to. The dynamics of the coaches and athletes made this camp really special, and I will give it glowing reviews to anyone that asks about it! I am most definetly coming back!!! And I'll be bringing more teammates!
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!
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
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.
My Son Didn't Want to Leave
My son, AJ, could not stop raving about his experience! On the morning of the last day, he said he wish he didn’t have to leave. His confidence in his game, has definitely improved since the camp, and we will definitely be back!
A Booster Shot of Energy
Just one big refresher, and booster shot of energy. I’ve incorporated a lot from PGC, great refresher for things I may have forgotten. Love the peer interaction with staff and OC’s. Always a pleasure to meet some great kids too
Winning is a Habit and PGC Helps Players Acquire it!
Winning is a habit, PGC has a clear, methodical way to help kids acquire these habits. The level of energy, intensity, optimism and overall good vibes from the coaches is something special and has a huge, immediate impact on kids.
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
Taught Me the Game Well
It was one of the best camps I've attended ever. they taught me the game well and explained lots of stuff that will be of great importance for my future. I loved this camp and I appreciate everyone who took part in it.
Exceeded Every Expectation!
You guys lived up to all of the advertisements I read and exceeded our expectations Bromo not only enjoyed it but is better for it Leadership and life skills that were also taught is why he’ll be back Respect
Very Inisghtful for All of Us
The session was very insightful for me. I had 5 athletes attending the course and they all agreed they would like to come back to PGC for a different curriculum. They learned a lot and they enjoyed the experience.
I took my game and my confidence to a whole other level here at pgc.
PGC helped me improve my game and my confidence. I feel like I took my game and my confidence to a whole other level here at pgc. I learned so much that will hopefully take me to the next level in basketball
I Didn't Know My Kids Could Love Basketball More
I didn't know my children could love the game of basketball more than they already did, but after a week of Skills Academy, they are locked in more now than ever! Thanks you Coach Hudson and the PGC Staff!
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.
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!
Loved the Gym and Classroom Sessions
Observing how the directors organized and executed gym and classroom sessions was extremely valuable and will help me foster a more spirited and effective learning environment for my athletes.
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.
Life Transforming!
PGC is life transforming! I’ve never been to a camp where whether it be Troupe or other players of mine have attended haven’t left saying they felt renewed and better for attending.
The Progression of the Camp Improves Learning!
The amount of content shared and the progressions that they are shared in through film, technique training, guided reps and live is amazing. Great way to teach the game. Thank You
It Taught Me How to Be a Great Leader
My experience was amazing. I loved it so much. It was such an eye opener to me that it’s bigger than basketball in most aspects of the game. It taught me how to be a great leader.
the Benefits Are Unreal For Myself And My Program Going On
the benefits are unreal for myself and my program going on. I learned a lot of great ways to truly teach the game of basketball and life. the classroom is extremely important.
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.
Delivered Learnings Into Palatable Portions
I was able to gain a glimpse at how larger concepts in basketball can be broken down and delivered into palatable portions that athletes are able to implement rather quickly.
Top Notch Energy
It was an amazing experience! Micah's spirit and excitement for the game is infectious. He brought it everyday! The players fed off of him and I think he fed off of them.
Huge Improvement in My Son's Attitude
He is so confident and happy when he comes back from camp. He is enthusiastic, ready to go for games, appreciative. We see a huge improvement in his attitude.
The Experience Didn't Make Them Better at Just Basketball...
The experience didn't just make them better at basketball, it made them think more about being a better teammate, leader and just all around better person :)
I Can't Believe I Didn't Attend Last Year
This course benefit me in a way to always take advantage of something you love . My thoughts as a coach is wow I can’t believe I never attended last year.
Unlike Any Other Camps
The values and philosophies are amazing. The focus on fundamentals on and off the court. The leadership building and film study. Unlike any other camps
PGC was even better the second time.
I had been to a PGC course before, and I knew what to expect. I was still amazed by the experience, and found that it was even more fun the second time.
Gave My Child the Tools To Feel More Confident In Decision Making
I think this gave her the tools to feel more confident in that decision making. She will need time to trust her instincts and use the skill she learned
