“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

My Son Finally Realized He Needs to Be Around More Driven People
I had high hopes for the PGC camp. From everything I had read and saw online made me feel like this was the camp to send our son to. It didn't disappoint. Our son came home a different child. He not only gained confidence on the court, his skills have improved, and he came out of this camp a better person. He has realized that he needs to be around more people that have the same mindset, goals, and ambitions as him. (Thank goodness!!!) Also, I was super impressed with our Director of the camp. While the coaches were working with the kids, he took the time to speak with us parents (on more than one occasion) to check in with us individually. To make sure that we didn't have any questions or concerns. And the college aged coaches were super high energy and had the kids engaged and smiling through all the hard work.
I Count Myself Lucky to Have Attended
-Chad was an excellent model in all that he taught. He passionate about what he teaches and gives clear expectations for all who is involved in his session. His passion and energy is contagious. I have been lucky in attending a course with such directors who share in the same beliefs as I do. Chad has assisted in me putting in words and actions of what I expect of myself and program. I appreciate how he is able to share his stories for the students t get a visualization of how it relates to life.
there Are Not Enough Words To Describe the Incredible Experience I'Ve Had At PGC Playmaker College
there are not enough words to describe the incredible experience I've had at PGC Playmaker College. the course itself was set up wonderfully and was full of pertinent information. I know the athletes had to have learned so much because I did as a coach. Specifically, I took away how to bring a spirited culture to a gym and a classroom. I also learned how to structure a practice and have gained many coaching points to bring to my athletes.
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!!
I'm ready to take the PGC principles back to Norway...
It's crazy. I feel like I can go back to Norway and create the best training environment Norway has ever seen. These 5 days has been so educational and inspirational. Hayes had the kids extremely motivated and the difference between day 1 and day 5 is huge! I recommend this to anyone that wants to grow as a person and a basketball player. Tony Wilkins, A Head Coach from Norway
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.
Will Definitely Try to Get All My Players to Attend
I learned so so so much over the 5 days. It makes me motivated to take what I learned and try to spread it throughout my program. I loved everything about this program at PGC they teach the kids basketball but also stuff to use throughout their life. I will definitely try and get all my player to attend this course and other courses you provide.
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.
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.
Stratton Hallows
Point Guard Prep has taught me a lot about not just moves, but about how even if you don't play you can still impact the game by being a good teammate and an energy-giver. I also learned to put others first, build others up, and do hard things by pushing your limits and stretching yourself.
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.
The Perfect "I Do, We Do, You Do" Approach to Learning
It exceeded mine and my daughters expectations in so many ways! My daughter works by seeing things visually so seeing it on the film, having the coaches show her and then having her do it is the perfect "I do, we do, you do" approach that she needs to learn effectively.
Best Basketball Camp I've Ever Attended
PGC was one of the best basketball camps I have attended. It pushed me mentally, physically, and emotionally and showed me things about myself that I didn’t even know. It has helped take my SCHAPE to a whole new level and I am so thankful for this process.
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.
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.
Great Examples of Ways to Introduce New Skills
Gave many great examples of ways to introduce new skills. Great examples of skill progression. Really appreciate the TLC method demonstrated by the instructors. It’s very effective and something I will add to my bag.
Developed A Winning Attitude
It made a 100% difference with Amirah playing the game. She has a winning attitude, she interact with her team on the floor, her body language is more positive and she motivates her team now vocally and hand claps.
Food Not Great
Great camp. The cafe food definitely could have been better.
Everyone Here Is Amazing
Everyone here is amazing. From the kids I got to know, to the staff, to the environment they created, to the energy we made. This experience was something I'll never forget and always appreciate and look back on.
Daughter is Ready to Get Back in the Gym
Our daughter was clearly motivated by the end of this camp. She was excited by the content in the classroom and the drills in the gym. She is excited to apply what she learned to take her game to the next level.
I Feel More Confident in My Game and Mindset
The point guard college was different than any other pgc I have been too and it was the most challenging both physically and mentally but now that I’m done i feel more confident in my game and my mindset
Talking To the Directors Really Helped My Confidence
Talking to the directors really helped to just gain the confidence and to realize I will make mistakes and might same the wrong things here and there but that's the only way I will learn and grow from it.
Mentally and Physically Exhausting...
It was a mentally and physically exhausting week but I would do it again in a heart beat. The kind loving people around and just the genuine care each of the instructors has for the players is fantastic.
Too much walking
I thought Washington University was great, the food was good, but I don’t appreciate the walking.
Helped Me Unlock Another Level Of Court Vision
I really loved PGC overall, but I especially loved the classroom sessions because it really helped me unlock another level of court vision and reading plays that i could never do going to any other camp.
I've Never Seen My Child Like This!
Nathaniel was eager everyday, and locked in,I have never seen my child like this. I was rewarding to see how this camp changed his mentality of the game and his eager to be better than he was yesterday.
Intense Camp!
I was impressed by the intensity of the camp, the quality of the coaches, and the focus on encouraging the kids to be good teammates and good humans first. I was impressed by the focus on camaraderie.
The Leadership at PGC is Over the Top!
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.
Sore and Tired
Overall my experience and PGC was pretty good. I had a lot of fun with meeting new people and playing and learning the game. The only downside was that I was always sore and tired throughout the week.
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.
I gained confidence and leadership skills.
I learned so much this week, not only about the game of basketball but about myself. The confidence I gained and leadership skills were so valuable and I will take it with me the rest of my life.
I Am a Believer in PGC
I am a believer in PGC. Each summer we got back a more fundamentally sound, quicker reacting & smarter player. I couldn't come to Dallas but have no reason not to think the same thing this year
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!
No Wasted Time
Competitive. Perfect amount of kids so that there were no long lines…… so no one wasted time waiting in lines. Lots of good drills and tons of positive and constructive instruction.
the Best Camp I'Ve Attended
This was the best camp I've attended. As a coach you may think you know it all, however I learned a lot that I can add to my coaching and teaching of the sport of basketball and life.
PGC is always a transformational
Game-changing. Well worth the time and resources used to be a part of this. I have found a roadmap to success with PGC and I plan to use it going forward for my players and family.
Students Learned On the Court And In the Classroom.
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.
the Benefits Are Unreal For Myself And My Program Going On
the benefits are unreal for myself and my program going on. I learned a lot of great ways to truly teach the game of basketball and life. the classroom is extremely important.
I’ve been involved in the great game of basketball for 25 years, and I learned more in the first three hours at PGC than in any ten years that I’ve spent in the game.
If I Could Give an 11 Out of 10 I Would!
If I could have rated everything 11 I would have. Immeasurable learning and growth. The content this week will fill half my practice plans. Would expand more with more time.
Increased My Basketball IQ
I am coming away from this clinic with not only a high basketball IQ, a better understanding of how to teach the game and greater leadership skills for on and off the court.
Loved the Experience!
I loved the experience, learning new basketball knowledge and meeting new amazing people. I was injured most of the camp but I feel was able to feel involved.
I Love the Importance Of Teaching the Athletes
It was great! I love the importance of teaching the athletes why we do drills or why they should do something. I love the life lessons that are taught here!!
Dorms are mediocre but camp is amazing!
The dorms where a little unclean but the food was good and coaches were very nice and it was fun playing with older kids
Left With Tools To Be An Effective Communicator And Efficient Time Manager
It taught me how to be a more effective communicator and efficient time manager in developing and maximizing my players through practice and skill training.
Teaching Us How To Relate To Players
Teaching us how to relate to players to have a larger impact on them in LIFE. Also how to correctly implement new skills and using the correct progression.
PGC was even better the second time.
I had been to a PGC course before, and I knew what to expect. I was still amazed by the experience, and found that it was even more fun the second time.
Worth the Money!
It met all of my expectations. As a single mom who works multiple jobs, I wanted to make sure that the money I was spending was going to make an impact!
Excited To Introduce the Terminology To My Athletes
the course was great. It was simplified to where student athletes could comprehend and I'm excited to introduce some of the terminology to my athletes.
The Level of Play Helped Me Improve
This was not like any basketball experience I’ve ever had. The level of play and the intensity really helped me improve as a player and as a leader.
Made Me A Better Leader
Made me a far better leader and will help me bring energy and passion back to my high school team and be a better leader as a sophomore next year.
Stepped Out of My Comfort Zone
The camp was a great experience for me. I was able to step out of my comfort zone and stay away from home for a week while doing the game I love.

Dorms weren’t great but the basketball was awesome
