“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

He Went Injured and Still Learned a Lot
My son was injured before camp started as he fractured a finger in a basketball game a few weeks prior. He was not sure if he would get much out of the camp with him being injured, but that could not have been farther from the truth. This was his third PGC camp and I think that he may have gotten more out of this one than the other two when he wasn't injured. He loved the coaches and the environment and is looking forward to his next PGC camp. Thank you!
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!!!!
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.
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!
I Love How This Course Teaches More Than Just Basketball
I love how this course teaches so much more than just basketball. As a specific example, the lesson on handshaking and the use of it during the commitment statement presentations. This is a life skill that is invaluable to the players. Thank you for reinforcing this with my daughter as well as giving me a reminder to I still it in my players.
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.
My Son is Confident, Excited, Energized and Goal Oriented
My son came home more confident, excited, energized and goal oriented than I have ever seen him. Today he is playing in a tournament and on the Court he is the best I’ve seen him play. He is confident, making great shots, passes and his defense is outstanding. Most of all, he is so HAPPY! Thank you PGC!
Elitel Instructor and Coaches
Coach Clint was so hospitable to us as observing coaches. I appreciate his checking in regularly with us for questions we’ve had. He did such a great job connecting with players and coaches. He is an elite instructor but very personable with people. He is a PRO in all meanings of the word.
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,
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
I was blown away
I read the reviews online and they were all positive so I came in with very high expectations. With that being said, I was blown away. I feel like a different person as well as a coach. Its like I had tunnel vision coaching views that all of a sudden were opened. Unbelievable
Every Team Would be Better if They Learned the PGC Way
This experience benefits me as a coach because there are so many things worth taking back home. Every team would be better if they were all taught the PGC way of playing, but also other things off the court. I learned a lot of valuable material that will definitely be used.
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!
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!
Learned New Ways to Think the Game
As a parent the camp met my expectations as my son came with new ways to think the game, work on his attitude and identify the most important thing to improve his leadership. He liked it very much and want to come back next year for the Point Guard camp!
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.
So Many Life Lessons!
So many life lessons! the way the classroom taught students how to be better not only in the game but as a person is one of the biggest things that I'll take away. That your actions scream while your words whisper was super impactful as well.
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!!!
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!
Winning is a Habit and PGC Helps Players Acquire it!
