20 Players: 4 Coaches...

Typically overnight summer basketball camps have between 100-400 players in a single camp session.  We limit our Player Development Academy to 20 because this isn’t the typical basketball camp.  It’s called an Academy for a reason. 

NBA and Euroleague Concepts…

You’re going to be taught NBA concepts, when to separate, how to separate, and why to separate from the pressure "D".

How to finish in traffic and what moves to use in different situations.  How is Allen Iverson consistently one of the Leagues top scorers at just 6-0 tall?  We’ll show you how he freezes the D, separates and finishes while taking the contact.  We’ll teach you how to train and attack out of the triple threat like Kobe Bryant.

Euroleauge Concepts:  Reading and reacting correctly to dribble penetration, where to wrap and when to drift off the dribble drive. See the game a play ahead...or 2. When attacking off the dribble can you read your defender, the help side defender, and the rotational defender?

Thinking the Game…

We’ll teach you how to slow the game down and recognize different situations through film breakdown.  How is Steve Nash unstoppable running the Pick N’ Roll? We’ll show you on film and then break it down on the floor.  Why is Richard Hamilton so great without the basketball?  We’ll show you how he separates in each situation and plays so efficiently with only 1 or 2 dribbles.

The Recruiting Game...Separate Yourself...

How do you separate yourself to standout amongst other players in your region? What do college coaches really look for? We will dedicate a classroom session explaining how to take control of the recruiting process. Recruiting Services from throughout the Midwest will be contacted prior to the Academy.

The Truth …

Each player will receive a handwritten, honest evaluation of where we believe you stack up compared to the elite players in the country at your age level. No matter where you are at we'll be positive, but candid in telling you the truth.

The Ultimate Investment…

This is not just 3 days at camp.  It is an investment in your future both on and off the court.  One aspect of the Academy we take great pride in is showing you how to workout on your own.  Whether it is on your own or with a partner we’ll show you how hard to go and give you the tools to reach your basketball dreams.
