“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

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.
I Really Liked the Focus On Decision Making
I really liked the focus on decision making, the focus on peeking at the basket/down the floor is very key. Also, I intend to really reinforace power position with my team this year. That and Mo Stops. I think some of the open court dribbling stuff is what I will use the most. the Mo Stops/Changes, butt cutts and pullbacks are essential tools. I will also use some of the language from the classroom to talk about leadership with my players.
Only Positive Comments
Shamus wasn't sure what to think before starting this camp, but he came back with all kinds of positive comments about it. He really enjoyed all of the coaches and employees of the camp and how positive and friendly they were. And he really enjoyed learning life lessons as well as gaining basketball knowledge. And I really appreciate the fact that we got scholarship money so it made it possible for Shamus to attend this camp.
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!!!!
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.
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.
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!!
It was good but I was very tired
It was good but I was very tired
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.
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.
Communication Was Top Notch!
From the very first interaction with PGC, which was a phone call with questions before booking, everything was top notch! All communications for preparing were timely, detailed and provided much peace of mind. Arrival and check-in was smooth and the parent meeting on day one assured us we had made a good decision and investment. Everything exceeded our expectations.
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!
Blakelee Sherwood
This week has meant so much to me, it's been a blast. It has honestly changed my life on and off the court and it changed my perspective. I also learned 'deadly sins to avoid', like being creepy and wishful thinking. Another thing I learned is we can change our beliefs. What I'm trying to say is this was the best week ever.
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.
Didn't Expect it to Be this Good!
Classroom time was something I was looking forward to—but I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was. Ben was dialed in and seems to have taken his thinking and approach to the game to another level. The directors did an incredible job of holding attention and managing such a large group. Ben ate up every word.
I Love Coming to PGC
I love coming to PGC. This is by far the best camp I have ever been to, I love getting to learn and think the game here with these amazing coaches. I will always remember all of the awesome people I get to meet here at these camps. The energy and encouragement that we all bring at these camps is remarkable.
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,
This Was Unlike Any Other Camp I Have Done Before
This was unlike any other camp I have done before. the classroom sessions were incredible and the gym sessions taught me things I never thought of before. For example, when faking a pass I was taught to put the hall out but at PGC I was taught to fake with my whole body.
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'd Come Back a Million Times!
Best camp I go to and I’d come back a million times. Also one of the best way to improve your game on/off the court, you come out more confident, better as a player of the game and leader. This camp just makes you better as a player physically and mentally.
Gave Us Tools To Take Back To Our Athletes
This course gave us a lot of tools to take back to our athletes both on the court and in life in general to help them be more successful in their next step. I will use a lot of the terminology in my gym and the precision of debriefing, celebrating athletes.
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!
My Son Learned So Much in 1 Week
My son learned so much in 1 week at the PGC camp it was amazing. He took notes, listened to new concepts and grew into a new phase of his basketball journey! He asked me if he could attend next year too and that was after day 1 of the camp when he asked me!
Lou Cheeseman
What makes the PGC camp fun is that everything is made into a game or competition. I definitely learned a lot (push & pull, peek fakes, twist passes, etc.). I also really like the classroom because we get a break and I feel like it helped us learn more.
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.
Encouraged My Daughter To Take Risks & Be More Confident
The director, Dakota, had a way of connecting with my daughter that encouraged her to take risks in becoming a better player and more confident individual. This is her second camp, and during this one, I really saw huge strides in my daughter.
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!
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.
This Camp Will Impact My Life More Than Any I've Ever Been To
This camp was my favorite camp yet, with all the connections i’ve made and all of the real life advice and experience i’ve learned from this week, i feel like this camp with impact my life more than any other camp i’ve been to.
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.
Food wasn’t great, dorms were ok, basketball was great.
Food wasn’t great, dorms were ok, basketball was great.
So Tired
I was tired and sore but i learned a lot and it was worth it.
High Level of Encouragement
My sons were absolutely impressed at the level of engagement at the camp and attested to the fact that the PGC camp reiterated many things they had been thought at their home teams but even more useful tips.
Love, Love, Love this Camp!!
The energy, check in and pick up, parent meeting, class material, it was absolutely incredible!! Coach Carter was amazing also Coach Dane was very attentive and detail oriented. I love love love this camp!!

I Have Gotten Better

A Fun Week of Camp
I throughly enjoyed my experience at camp this week. Connecting with the coaches and other players is simple as we all have like interests. The competitions throughout the week make the camp fun.
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!

I Have At Least 40 Pages Of Notes...
I have at least 40 pages of notes and have learned so many things. I already feel like next season will be better if I used just 10% of what I learned but plan to use it all.
High Energy Camp!
It was a very high energy camp which is something my son needed. He needed to find the happiness back in basketball and his coach and PGC director did a great job of that
I came into PGC with an injury and I still learned a lot
I came into PGC with an injury and I still learned a lot in the classroom and in the gym. I met a lot of new people and connected with them even though I wasn't playing.

It was also rewarding for me in that a lot of what I’ve been telling him he also heard at PGC, and he commented on that to me, so I am not so dumb after all. Lol
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.
The Kids Need this More than Ever
