“…the PGC approach to training really opened my eyes and gave me a new perspective on how to get better. Overall, this has been the best basketball experience of my life.”

Justin Conway | Former Princeton University team captain

“All of the gym sessions were game-like and served a definite purpose. It’s awesome how the points of emphasis were reinforced… I’ve been to approximately 50 basketball camps, and you truly have the BEST teaching program in America.

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.

Coach Tom Beach | Forest Park, Indiana (2005 & 2006 State Champions), Anderson University men’s basketball assistant coach

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

Any player who wants to have a serious chance to play college basketball—especially at the 'D1' level—needs to attend PGC. Going to PGC is the smartest move you can ever make.

Joe Osborn | Fort Wayne, Indiana

“The classroom sessions changed my game more than anything else. I particularly loved the Unruffleability and the Extra Ounce lectures.”

Meredith Pruden | Wilson, North Carolina

“I have gone to many different basketball camps, and there is absolutely no camp that can even hold a candle to PGC. I have never met anybody in my life that I respect more than you, Coach D. You know exactly what you are talking about, and you are the smartest person I know when it comes to basketball.”

Michael Gould | Newton, Massachusetts (two-time grad)

No AC
It was awesome I just wish the food was a little better and the dorms and gym had ac.
Coach Taj Was Everything I Read the PGC Organization Was About
We were super excited to attend PGP as an athlete and me as an observing coach. I watched Aubrey struggle at first and to see her push through and work hard and keep her joy while getting the footwork, principles, and new skills she learned. We loved our first PGC experience with Marke Freeman at Shooting College last fall. This camp with Coach Taj and his supporting coaches exceeded our expectations. We left even more excited than when we were headed to PGP. Aubrey's confidence grew, she was setting goals for the next day of camp, and studying each night. She loved the classroom sessions as much as the court time. How can you not when you have such a wonderful leader in Coach Taj. He was everything that I read the PGC organization was about. I am so grateful I discoverd PGC for Aubrey and I. I am confident it is the missing factor to helping Aubrey get to where she wants to be and can be on and off the court. THANK YOU!
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.
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.
Food wasn’t great, dorms were ok, basketball was great.
Food wasn’t great, dorms were ok, basketball was great.
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.
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.
Eat, Sleep and Breathe Basketball All Day
PGC is the only camp I know that’s dedicated to basketball from the time the player wakes up until they go to sleep. I love the classroom sessions and note taking. It really is a 1 week school for basketball! I was very happy of how my daughter was “pushed” and challenged mentally and physically by the instructors and director. When she came home she said “my legs have never been that sore in my life”! One of the instructors was very demanding that Emma play defense with intensity. As a result she looks like a different player defensively at her school summer league!
This Was An Experience Unlike You Will Find Anywhere Else
I spend a lot of time with my players working on the culture of our team and now I realize that I also need to start working with them on the mental side. I loved the classroom sessions and plan to steal all those "dimes" Marke was dropping and use them in my practices. This was the most impressive camp I have ever been a part of and I loved the unique atmosphere of being an observing coach and seeing how someone like Marke coaches. I'm excited to attend a coaching clinic in the future, but this was an experience unlike you will find anywhere else.
Truly transformed in 5 days!
I feel like I am a 10 times better coach and leader than when I entered on Monday. Being around like minded people has added to the fire that I have to build a winning culture and program. I am ready to go home and SERVE the people in my program, my classroom, and my school in a way that is intentional and transformational. Money well spent!! Truly transformed in 5 days! Gotten better!!
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.
My Life Will be Changed Forever
Overall my experience at this camp was fantastic. I am very excited about imputing all the new things I learned into my life and into basketball. And I cant stress enough the impact that the non basketball classroom sessions had on my life. From talking about nutrition to finance to leadership, my life will be forever changed.
30 Years of Coaching and This Camp Was the Best!
I have attended many many classes over a 30 year career and this was one of the best I have attended. The Director was honest, helpful, and in command of the class at all times.

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.
PGC Reinforced the Leadership Skills Needed On & Off the Court
PGC not only instilled more basketball sense and skill into Gabe's game, but it reinforced the leadership skills needed on and off the court, as well as increased his confidence as a player as well as a contributing member of our society.
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
Varsity Team as a Freshman
My daughter was fortunate & talented enough to get to start on her high school varsity team as a freshman and she will tell you the vast majority of the things that coaches like about her she learned from PGC!!! Thank you so much!!!
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.
Positive. Fun. Inclusive.
My son JJ thought that all the PGC coaches were great and learned a lot from them all. He especially enjoyed Director Rudy, who made himself very accessible to the campers and kept everything positive, fun and inclusive.
Learned Teaching Techniques
I was able to see how efficiently a coach(es) can manage the energy and attention of a group of players. I also learned teaching techniques, network with other coaches across the country, see great drills and practices.
I took my game and my confidence to a whole other level here at pgc.
