Become the Smartest Player on the Floor
To get an edge next season, you can’t just play different — you must think different.
Every coach wants a special player on their team who knows how to think the game and lead a team.
If you have a dedicated player who won’t make it on talent alone — and who doesn’t want the regret of knowing things could have been different — this camp is a must.
THE PGC EXPERIENCE
Your Child Deserves the Best Training — Period.
Sure, you can get world-class skills training in a few other places too.
But, there’s no other place on the planet for players to develop their basketball IQ, mindset, leadership, playmaking, and confidence — all at the same time.
Here’s Why Your Child Needs to Develop These Skills »
Basketball IQ
A great player contributes to their team in ways the average fan never notices. However, good coaches always notice these “little things.” So, if your child wants to be a great player, they better learn how to do these “little things” too.
Mindset
Most players play the game with little thought about their mindset. Yet, at every level of play, a winning mindset separates average players from ‘the great ones.’ At PGC, your child will develop the mindset to be a champion.
Leadership
It takes energy and intelligence to ‘run the show’ for a team. Leaders have to inspire teammates, foster a sense of urgency, and get others to work together. PGC is a ‘leadership laboratory’ for every age and stage to develop these skills.
Confidence
What if your child could transform their perspective towards setbacks, losing, injuries, being benched, unfair treatment, and all the things that can rob them of their confidence and joy? Well, they can transform — and we’ll teach them how.
Communication
Coaches always tell their players to communicate on the court, but most players don’t know what to say and resort to useless ‘chatter.’ At PGC, we teach players exactly what to say and how to say it.
Who Is Point Guard College For?
Each summer, thousands of high school and college players attend Point Guard College – but this camp is not for every player.
This camp is for mature and dedicated players, regardless of position, who truly want to think the game.
Note: We highly recommend attending Playmaker College and/or Scoring College prior to attending Point Guard College, if possible.
If you can attend only one basketball camp this summer, make it Point Guard College. If you can attend five basketball camps this summer, make them all Point Guard College.
What Players Do at PGC…
- Hear It – Each habit or skill is taught in the classroom first.
- See It – Players watch film of pro players using each habit.
- Do It – Players learn to apply each habit in game situations.
What Players Don’t Do at PGC…
- There are no talent shows or swim breaks.
- There are no celebrity autograph sessions.
- And, we don’t roll out the balls and “just play.”
WHAT YOU'LL GET
DEVELOP THESE SKILLS
In this course, players discover how to:
- Read the help-side defense like LeBron James
- Master the subtleties of the game like Sue Bird
- Become a tenacious defender like Pat Beverley
- Transform their basketball IQ and decision-making
- Rip apart all types of man and zone pressure defenses
- Get higher % shots & influence your team’s shot selection
- Slow the game down & make better decisions in the paint
- Influence and inspire teammates using NITE communication
Players return to their teams knowing everything that’s needed to win championships — and to stand out to good coaches at the highest levels.
THE DEEPER IMPACT…
Beyond point guard skills and habits, this camp equips players to truly lead — on and off the court. Players are introduced to ‘sheepdog leadership’ and the energy required to be a great leader, including:
Care – How to build trust and confidence with every teammate.
Culture – How to influence and SCHAPE the team’s culture every day.
Communication – How to get teammates to work hard and together.
Here’s how an observing coach described his week at PGC:
Read Why His Life Won’t Be the Same »
The Director was one of the most inspirational people I have ever been around. Within the first 3 days, he had all 130 kids’ names memorized.
The first thing I noticed was the culture. The energy of the gym was infectious, and the Director just had an uncanny ability to positively hold kids accountable for reaching their aspirations.
In the classroom, there was NEVER a dull moment. Whenever the Director was speaking, I literally was on the edge of my seat EVERY SESSION. The classroom sessions were what I loved the most about my experience, because I was challenged to think the game in an entirely new way.
Everything was taught in a progressive way that really made sense to the players. The things done on the court ran so smooth because of what was taught in the classroom before they went to the gym.
I coach a varsity girls basketball team and two of my players had the opportunity to go. As their coach, I watched them play throughout the week and I could see they were thinking the game every day on a whole new level. They were communicating on a level I have never seen out of them. Their shots were getting quicker, they were more patient in the lane, and they just had more confidence.
The intangibles the game brings is something the Director thoroughly covered for the players, and he did so with such emotion. He ended one session with a talk about gratitude. It truly made me want to be a better man, better coach, and better friend. He inspired me to refocus my life, re-SCHAPE my habits, and live my life with passion and serve those around me.
I am extremely grateful I had the opportunity to attend PGC. I don’t think my life will ever be the same.”
