Camp Overview

This camp is for players entering grades 6 - 8 as of Fall 2024. What could be better than three days spent learning basketball moves from head coaches at Michigan Tech? Our boys’ basketball Development Camp is what comes after the basics; you’ll learn ways to improve your game, both as an individual and in a team, and put your skills to the test in games and competitions held in the SDC Varsity Gym.

What to Expect

Daily sessions are 2 hours. Players will put their knowledge of ball-handling, shooting, team play, and defensive play to the test, learning strategies for improvement.

Daily Schedule

9:30-10:00 am Check-In at SDC front counter
10:00 am-12:00 pm Skills Session in the Varsity Gym
12:00 pm We will finish camp each day in the Varsity Gym, so you can pick up campers by the main doors of the SDC.
