Camp philosophy — safety, self-esteem, and love of basketball
Every camper that attends Camp has a love for basketball. The philosophy of the Camp is to nurture this love in a positive environment, with the goal of further enhancing each camper's self-esteem. This is achieved by establishing an environment that is physically, socially and emotionally safe. Qualities such as teamwork, sportsmanship, and a positive attitude are strongly encouraged.
My son, Jack, participated in BTR camp a couple of weeks ago. Looking back over his summer camps, his time at Below the Rim stands out. He had fun and left feeling more confident in his abilities and more enthusiastic about the sport. He has mentioned you by name several times and says that you're really nice and a great teacher. Your leadership impacts the whole camp. Thank you for creating such a positive, growth-oriented program. We will be back!

Below the Rim Basketball Camp is based out of the Fieldhouse Sudbury in Sudbury, Massachusetts. The Fieldhouse is a state-of-the-art indoor sports complex that has recently been redesigned and expanded to include six full indoor basketball courts. The additional courts help reduce overcrowding and maximize player engagement, giving each camper more opportunities to interact with coaches, receive individualized instruction, and participate in live game situations.
We welcome players who strive for excellence on and off the basketball court. Our mission is to provide our youth with a high quality, innovative program that will develop key fundamental and mental skills needed in basketball and in everyday life.
