PGC is the best basketball camp in America for learning how to think the game.

To win a championship or play in college, high basketball IQ is essential.
Yet, few players develop this aspect of their game.
Get the uncommon skills, habits, and mindset Ronald Norad and hundreds of other NCAA players discovered at PGC Basketball camps to take their game to the highest levels.

 

Is PGC Right For Your Child?

Each summer, 12,000 players from middle school to college attend a PGC camp — but PGC is not for every player.

PGC is only for dedicated players who are serious about getting better.

Your child doesn’t have to take themselves too seriously in order to benefit from our camps (we still have lots of fun!), but they will need to enjoy working hard and challenging their existing self-beliefs to improve their skills.

I was blown away by the level of teaching my son received. I immediately sensed that he has a higher confidence in himself as a basketball player, a leader, and a communicator. Totally engaged, I sat there and watched while I took over five pages of notes myself. What makes PGC unique, is how they build a culture in such a short amount of time that is energetic, challenging, encouraging, and team-oriented. I highly recommend the PGC experience.

ANSWERS TO FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which camp should I attend first?
Is PGC for players of every position?

Yes. We teach the game, not a group of skills specific to one position. Any player will benefit from any PGC camp—regardless of their position—as long as they are truly eager to learn the game.

How many players attend each session?

The majority of our sessions have between 80-120 players. Typically, basketball camps are two to three times the size of our sessions, but we don’t take any more players than our course director can know by name. Most of our programs fill up and we turn away lots of players each summer, but we limit enrollment so that we can provide the best experience possible for players.

What's the competition level like at each session?

While the level of competition may vary slightly from session to session, there is nearly always suitable competition for the varying levels of the players. We occasionally have a pro player or top NCAA player who is significantly better than everyone else, but these players understand the intention of the week is development and learning, not competition. As long you as understand this too, it won’t matter much who you’re competing against through the week.

Speaking of top players, while there are significantly more high school players than college players in attendance at Scoring College and Point Guard College courses, college players typically benefit as much if not more than high school players. As we teach details and subtleties of the game, we’ve found the more playing experience someone has, the more likely it is they’ll benefit from a PGC course.

How do I know if I'm good enough to attend PGC?

We get this question often and it’s not about being ‘good enough’. If you are a dedicated player who loves the game and wants to improve, you’ll fit right in, no matter your skill level. If you’re not interested in learning the game and getting better, PGC is probably not for you, regardless of how good you are.

What if there aren't any courses where I live?

We understand this can be a problem, and we increase our number of locations each summer in order to make our camps easier to access. Something to consider though: What’s most important to you?

The average PGC course—in any single location—attracts players from 11 states, as well as a handful of international players. Hundreds of players fly, endure long bus rides, or beg a parent or coach to drive them 10-12 hours to get to PGC. We are constantly amazed at how far some players will travel in order to attend a session. Right now, players in North Dakota, Alaska, Lithuania, England and New Zealand are coming up with creative ways to get themselves to PGC.

So, don’t let distance be a deal-breaker for you. Where there’s a will, there’s usually a way.

“When we left PGC, we had a 10-hour trip ahead of us, so I thought that Daymon would sleep most of the way home.  Although physically exhausted, he was so energized and excited that we talked for over nine hours about his experience at PGC.  He said, ‘Dad, this was one of the greatest weeks of my life.’  Since we got home, he has intensified his workouts by taking your ‘30-day challenge’. Last night, I watched him play in open gym and he is already incorporating what he learned into his game. Thanks for the positive impact that you made on our son.”

— Joe Osborn, Fort Wayne, Indiana.

What if I don’t know my summer schedule yet?

You can wait until you know your complete summer schedule before you register. The only problem is, the session you want to attend may be sold out by then.

To help you deal with this challenge, PGC offers Tuition Protection for only $45. You can also transfer to another session, if needed, without any additional cost, as long as it’s at least two weeks prior to your session.
