HIGHLIGHTS
  • "Quality" hours of instruction and play:
        With our camp day split into 3 three-hour
        sessions, more time will be available for
        our campers to visit with our individual
        skill specialists.

  • Guaranteed 7-to-1 camper/staff ratio:
        Our unique system pairs coaches and
        college players with each team, giving us
        the ability for individualized teaching.

  • High Quality, two color tank-top shirt:
        Not just another throwaway T-shirt to
        add to your collection; a useful,
        reversible tank top.
    		•
  • Emphasis on particular "all-camp"
        fundamentals:
        Whether your child is a high school
        senior, or just starting out in the lower
        levels, there are certain skills that they will
        be taught, regardless of age or ability, so
        each camper will go home with some
        universal skills, including knowledge of
        the "camp offense" and the "whip series".

  • Special nightly activities:
        It may be our famous "Sudden-Death"
        tourney, a "Hot Shot" contest, an All-Star
        game, "Deal Or No Deal", or great
        NCAA & NBA highlights videos...
        regardless of the activity, each
        night will end memorably!!

    PHILOSOPHY


    For 5 special days in the summer of 2008, let your child's dreams begin to come true. Athletics, and basketball in particular, can make a world of difference in your child's self esteem and maturity. The week spent at camp certainly won't be a "vacation", that's why we call ourselves "The Blue-Collar Camp." But it will be a week where they learn or add to their knowledge of the game. They'll also take home skills; not just time-consuming skills, but ones that will truly stay with them throughout their careers. And finally, they'll leave with some new friends ... whether it's one of our fabulous coaches, exuberant college players, or campers from all over the area. What we're basically saying is that a week spent at The Basketball Factory is one decision you won't regret. We look forward to seeing you in the summer of 2008!
