Not as advertised. Besides a gym, you get two young, disinterested "counselors" who are physically there. I dropped by and there was an 8:8 scrimmage, because there was 16 unfortunate kids stuck in this "camp." Worse than recess because the kids themselves didn't pick the teams. Old kids vs. young with zero interaction or instruction by the two burnouts there. My son confirmed that it was this bad most of the day. He said a counselor didn't speak to him the entire day, forget indivdual instruction.

HORRIBLE camp -This was a 4 hour camp and they were 20 minutes late getting started, gave the kids lots of breaks including a 45 MINUTE break so the "coach" could give a private shooting lesson. The "drills" they had the boys do were ridiculous and couldve been done in my driveway. Little to NO teaching on how to shoot. I saw the "coach" outside on his phone more than once and was in and out the whole time - a couple times I was the only adult in the gym! My son learned nothing. They also advertise that JD Taylor from UW would be there and he was there....for literally 5 minutes. Would not recommend this camp to anyone! When I voiced my frustrations the "coach" said - I understand what you're saying - then walked away. Needless to say I asked for a refund.

My 13 year old son went for 3 days out of 5. The kids were packed like sardines in the much too small gym. They were not given individual attention. It looked like a factory with little if no care shown by the counselors. I spoke to the owner Michael about my son's concerns. He was hostile and very condescending. He told me it's only for kids who are hard workers. My son bikes 25 miles at a time and has more energy and stamina than most. I was very respectful to him yet he continued to be very defensive about the program. To me, it seems like the camp is about making money. Enroll as many kids as you can, telling people that they have the best coaches (best? maybe best players but not best or even close to it with working with kids). Bottom line: impersonal, uncaring enviroment with questionable methods of endless repetitions that doesn't hold up to the science of how to best learn a sport.Who cares how accomplished the coaches/counselors are?that's just important for your resume

Do Not! Do Not! Sign up for this camp, if your child gets hurt they will not acknowledge your child is hurt or even call the parent. My son broke his finger and fractured it and he sat on the side line for 3 hours until I came to pick him up. No one asked why he was crying or asked him why he was sitting on the side line waiting.

It is recognized as one of the best ball handling camps in the USA.

Total waste of money. Too many kids and not enough staff. Expensive and NO redeeming qualities at all
