Camp Overview
This camp is open to girls entering grades 6-8 as of Fall 2024. What could be better than three days spent learning basketball moves from one of the top women’s college basketball coaches in the country and getting to play in the SDC Varsity Gym and Multipurpose Room? Our Girls’ Middle School Development Basketball 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.
What to Expect
Daily 2-hour sessions. Players will work on essential basketball skills like post/perimeter and team play.
