Skills Academy

4th - 7th Grade & 7th - 11th Grade

Develop the skills you actually need to play at the next level.

Sharpen your ball-handling, shooting, passing, finishing, and scoring moves, and learn the “intangibles” that all good players possess.

"The Skills Academy was AMAZING. I've coached for years and attended numerous coaching clinics, but I learned things I hadn’t ever heard before."

WHAT SETS THIS CAMP APART

Most camps have traditional ‘stations’ for dribbling, passing, and shooting, and then they just roll out the balls and let the kids play. The camps are usually fun, but often lead to little improvement in their game.

At Skills Academy camps, we care about players actually getting better. Players work on game-ready skills which are reinforced through creative games that strengthen their decision-making on the court.

That’s why no player who wants to improve in basketball and maximize their potential should miss out on this camp.

Limited Enrollment

The majority of our sessions have 50-75 players with a 12:1 player-to-coach ratio. Most of our sessions fill up and we turn away lots of players each summer. Typical camps are 2-3 times this size, but we don’t take any more players than our camp director can know by name.

SUPERVISION

At PGC, the safety and well-being of each player is our top priority. For the entire day, all the players and staff are together on the court, in class, and in the eating area.

COMPETITION LEVELS

The Skills Academy camps have players with a range of skill levels from beginner to advanced. Players are placed in skill and age appropriate groups to ensure they have the right level of challenge.

Camp Schedule

Check-in on the first day takes place between 7:45am-8:15am. Each day of camp includes interactive classroom and video sessions as well action-packed gym sessions. Check-out is at 2:00pm on the final day.

What Others Have Said...

It is nearly impossible to sum up the experience throughout a week at the PGC camp. As a coach, I was able to see the skill level of the players rise. However, I was blown away by the leadership and confidence I witnessed the players develop from this program!

Steve Bogart | Coach, St. Thomas Shock basketball club

I learned so much this week of camp. I had fun and definitely got better!

Elijah Krahn | 8th Grade

It brings the fear out of the children on failing and learning how to become a leader on and off the court with their teammates and friends.

Gerry Fairbanks | Coach, St. Thomas Shock basketball club

It was so much fun to play basketball at the PGC Skills Academy. I met new people and loved the excitement and energy.

Christian Vecchio | 7th Grade

The coaches not only taught me great basketball, but I had fun and worked hard! PGC is the best!

Faith Devries | 7th Grade

I got so much better in just one week. It was one of the best experiences I have had playing basketball!
