“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

Left a Boy and Came Back a Man!
Words cannot describe how beneficial this camp was for my son! He left a boy and came back a young man. This was my son first time away from home and I didn’t know who was more nervous me or him. He’s generally a shy kid so I was worried about him interacting with his peers. After the first day of camp I talked to him before he went to bed and he was having a great time with the guys in the dorm. The social interaction took him out of his comfort zone and he made friends. In reference to the basketball portion, my son’s basketball IQ has grown tremendously! His outlook on the game has completely changed and now he has a swagger about himself. We watched the finals this past week and he was able to diagnose different parts of the game that he’s never don’t before. The classroom portion was excellent for him and seeing it made a huge impact. I am a more than satisfied parent with PGC and my son has already decided to attend the fall mini camps as well. #PGC FOR LIFE
The atmosphere at PGC is unlike anything else
Coach Ed provided me with a lot of new information this week that I will never forget and that will change me as both a player and as a person. Also, the leadership that he displayed in front of us every single second of everyday was inspiring. Everyone trusted him, listened to him, and truly respected him almost instantly. He worked incredibly hard to make this week special for every single one of the athletes and I can not thank him enough for the experience I had. The atmosphere at PGC is unlike anything else I have every been a part of and it was like that my last session as well. I am always sad to leave this camp, but I also always leave with a renewed passion for the game and drive to get better and I am so thankful for that. Also, I learned a ton of new information at this course that will definitely help to improve my game as well as my ability to be an overall good person and leader.
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.
Too much walking
I thought Washington University was great, the food was good, but I don’t appreciate the walking.
there Are So Many Benefits I Learned From This Course
there are so many benefits I learned from this course that I am taking with me. the few I can share is building/having chemistry with the athletes. Be able to communicate with each child and bring the best from each one of them. these coaches were not just standing they were showing/sharing their passion which each child. Not one moment did I see a coach get tired or even show lack of interest or lack of energy. WOW!!!!
This Course Has Helped Me Break Down Important Teaching Points
Oh my gosh, I don't know where to begin. I feel it is a big part of my job to mentor and support my players. This course has helped me break down important teaching points both for teaching the game, but more importantly mentoring my players with their life skills. I am so excited to get back in the gym and implement these concepts with my team. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will be back.
Exceeded Expecatations in Every Way
The camp exceeded my expectation in every way. I was particularly impressed with how skills taught are transferable! The skills are not only applicable on the basketball court but also in life . The evening session on Thursday reinforced everything I always teach Nimi about basketball and life so I was happy she heard it from someone else (James) other than myself!
Learned More in 1 Day Than All Her Other Basketball Camps Combined!
The instructors were so positive and energetic, which made everyone feel welcome! Classroom sessions were great! This was by far one of the best basketball camps my daughter has attended. She said she learned more in one day at PGC than at all her other basketball camps combined! She loved all the instructors and found the classroom sessions extremely beneficial!
Re-invigorating Experience!
This experience re-invigorated my perspective. It reminded me that I’m doing some things right/well but that there is so much farther/further to go. I was inspired by the commitment to having a championship gym every time we work. I learned a ton and feel better equipped to lead my team. The progressions and content overall were excellent.
No Longer Questioning Myself as a Coach
My last summer contact with my team was a week ago before we let them go until open gyms in September. My coaching bucket was empty and I’ve been questioning myself. THE FIRST DAY of this camp filled my bucket. By the end of this week, my bucket is not only filled but is much larger than when I got here. Thank you!
Always My Favorite Week Of Camp,
I truly enjoyed my 5 days here at PGC. the dorms were very clean and the food was delicious, but more importantly I learned so many key lessons on and off the court. the athletes were all supportive hyping me up and the energy from the directors were unmatched. Always my favorite week of camp,
Better than AAU...
In one week of camp, my son was able to get more repetition and skill work than he did in an entire summer of AAU. I believe that the AAU experience provides him with lots of high level experience and competition, but PGC enables him to refine his craft and clean up bad habits or footwork.
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
Life-changing experience that I have never experienced before.
Life-changing experience that I have never experienced before. This course and the instructors involved have not only helped me gain some knowledge on the game but also grow as a person most importantly and also reignite my passion for coaching after a rough year at my school.
Food Not Great
Great camp. The cafe food definitely could have been better.
Made Friends. Lost My Voice. PGC is Great.
At PGC, I made friends, learned great things about basketball and life in general, and had a great time doing so. My voice got coarse and my body was often tired, but that’s just part of the game. I had some issues with the college campus, but all things PGC were great.
Leadership Training and Life Lessons
The director was fantastic. I loved the classroom sessions the leadership training, the life lessons. That was the most impactful part for me. Love the energy and enthusiasm. This was my first time attending a PGC camp and I will definitely be returning.
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!
By Far the Best Camp My Son's Attended
I really appreciate how the coaches learned every kids’ name. Though it was a big camp, the coaches made it personal by treating the kids individually. We’ve done basketball camps before, and this is by far the best one he’s attended.
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
Brighton Stolzenberg
I really enjoyed this camp a lot. It helped me become a better player and leader. Everything you taught us was really useful. The coaches were so supportive and helpful and now my dream to play D1 college basketball seems possible.
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.
Changed me as a athlete, leader, and teammate.
Best week. Demanded precision, eye contact, energy, and a championship environment. Changed me as a athlete, leader, and teammate. This course made me think the game in a whole new way and gave me elements to implement in my game!
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.
Basketball was awesome, dorms not so much
Dorms weren’t great but the basketball was awesome
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.
Fun and Educational!!
My son did not want to come home afterwards. It really gave him a fun breakdown of the game and explanation of his trouble areas, but more importantly taught him lessons of attitude and self accountability on and off the court.
Jam Schallenberger
This camp taught me how to be a great leader, basketball player and energy giver to my teammates. I am going to be a different person (in a good way) when I walk out the door each day, both in basketball and as a person.
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.
Food wasn’t great, dorms were ok, basketball was great.

The leadership at PGC was over the top. Their interaction with the players throughout the week and their knowledge and ability to pass that knowledge on to the players far exceeded my expectations.
I Learned So Much More Than Just the Game Of Basketball
I think as a coach I have learned so much more than just the game of basketball. the classroom sessions provided information and knowledge that I will not only use while I coach but also in my life.
PGC made me reevaluate how I run my program
This week's experience was inspiring, insightful and uplifting. It has made me reevaluate how I run my program and how to better instill the lessons of life that the game of basketball can teach.
Love the Incorporation of Film & Classroom Time
I loved how PGC incorporated film and classroom curriculum with the actual physical practice on the court. Something that my daughter has never experienced before and learned a great deal from.
PGC taught me how to be a special player.
I had such a great time here at PGC this week and learned how to be a special player; I've never learned so much at a basketball camp in a week! It was definitely worth the money to come here!
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

I loved the inclusive vibe, Rya loved the fact that there wasn't a lot of down time. I also appreciated the fact that students were able to learn on the court and in the classroom.
