“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

I've been to 9 courses now...
PGC is always a transformational/refreshing experience for me as a coach. I enjoy watching the process of all the athletes as they grow throughout the week. I've been to 9 courses now and they are always great. You can see that there is thought and time put into improving the curriculum and the way they do things every year. Thank you for being a light! Michael Goad Drew Central Lady Pirates
Unique Skill Development Curriculum
PGC basketball provides a unique skill development curriculum by SCHAPE’ing the environment. This camp provided my daughter a positive, like-minded environment that gave her to old on how to train basic skills, game-based learning experiences, and life lessons. With the completion of her camp she now has the inner fire to improve her game and be a positive influence on and off the court.
Couldn't Be More Pleased as a Coach
I could not be more pleased with the experience, the camp was exceptional. The growth I saw in my player as well as the other players during the week was phenomenal. The professionalism and attention to detail was second to none. The leadership from Coach Greene was key in how the entire camp ran and the staff was supportive, attentive, and helpful to all the athletes.
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.
Basketball was awesome, dorms not so much
Dorms weren’t great but the basketball was awesome
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!
So Tired
I was tired and sore but i learned a lot and it was worth it.
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!
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.
PGC was the highlight of my summer.
PGC was the highlight of my summer. when i first arrived, my nerves were all over the place. But as soon as i talked to the first staff member and felt all of their energy and encouragement for just being there, i felt right at home. the skills they taught on and off the court will definitely help me to be the best player and person i can be.
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.
Great Team of Professiionals!
The "camp" was phenomenal. It truly is more like college, and Delano learned so much. He has already canceled one camp that he used to attend regularly, because nothing compares to PGC. This is truly a well organized, dedicated team of professionals who want to take their knowledge and make athletes the best that they can be.
This experience has changed my approach
This experience has changed my approach as a coach. As someone who is forever a student of the game, I couldn't stop smiling this week. The atmosphere behind 'SCHAPE' Principles is such a genius simplicity that will change the way in which I strive to impact my girls and prepare them for the next level/stages of their lives.
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.
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,
He Bloomed in His Game
As a parent, I was able to see my son start to bloom not only in his game but as an individual. I saw a change before my eyes. It was nice to witness. As one of his high school coaches, I saw a student-athlete start to own it and figure out how to get those around him to come with him.
Implemented A Ton Of Lessons
I've implemented a ton of lessons I learned through PGC over the last 3 seasons, coaching about 7 teams, especially the idea of positive reinforcement over harping on negatives or just yelling at players. I've change my teams' culture, based, primarily on lessons learned through PGC.
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
It's Obvious This Camp is Like No Others Out There
All of my expectations were exceeded from the very first camp he attended. After his second camp, it is obvious that this camp is like no others out there. From the classroom settings to the exemplary coaches and directors to the organization of the entire week.
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!
Gave Me Reassurance, Confidence And Tips On Becoming A Better Shooting Coach
This experience gave me reassurance, confidence and tips on becoming a better shooting coach. I loved the rationale and data to support the curriculum. I loved the shooting tests at the end to create a competitive environment after the training.
Hands Down the Best Camp I've Ever Experienced
I have been to coaching clinics all across the United States and this was hands down the best experience I have ever experienced. The learning environment, the passion, and the energy in which the director and staff attack each day is infectious.
I always learn so much about basketball but most importantly life.
I always learn so much about basketball but most importantly life. I really liked the emphasis on being a good leader and how to sheep dog teammates. I have already attended this course, but I found myself learning new things in every session.
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.
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.
Attentive and Helpful!

Boring Food

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.
Learn On and Off the Court
This camp was very fun and I not only learned on the court, but in the classroom as well. I think it was nice how we got to learn about the game in both environments and build new relationships with teammates and competitors.
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.

Lit a Fire in My Son!
It was exactly what my son needed. He made friends, built relationships through the game he loves, and it has lit a fire in him that I hope to see in him this season! That being said, it exceeded my expectations by far!

Mentally and Physically Exhausting...
