Worth a look to improve shooting success

Lots of intentional shots (1000's!) Well-organized program that goes beyond just shooting mechanics. Upbeat with high expectations and high support. Particularly recommended for intermediate and advanced shooters.

Great experience

After sending my son to your camp, he was truly a different basketball player. He is a Junior in high school and was working on trying to make the Varsity basketball team. The great news is that he made the team, not only that but his coach told him that he has noticed so much improvement in his game. Your camp, the company, and your products are fantastic.

PGC camp was well worth the time

PGC camp was well worth the time, travel, and money. My son enjoyed all aspects. The classroom experiences, the work, the positive instructors were all a wonderful experience for him. I wish we had found PGC years earlier.

Totally worth the money

It was awesome, totally worth the money! I loved that it doesn’t only dive deep into physical skill but also some of the mental practices that are important for the game too. We also take notes of the mental skills to always remember

PGC Experience

There is so many lessons i have learned from PGC and im so grateful that the coaches put so much time and energy into every kid. I not only loved learning about basketball but how to become a leader and always look at the positive. PGC has taught me to always keep my head up and be grateful for the opportunities i have been given. I have never been to a camp like PGC and I really love it, there is so much positivity and energy that makes me love basketball even more. I would not have had the experience I had without the awesome directors and Basket Instructors, so I appreciate all the time,effort, and energy each coach is putting in!

My son really understood how a camp and drills are run.

My son really understood how a basketball camp is run. PGC is professional and knowledgeable in how they run their camps and skill drills. I have been around the basketball arena for a long time and there are drills that most camps or coaches run or even know what they are. I definitely recommend the PHC experience.

How my experience was and what recommend

When i went to PGC i got some great experiences i have never actually been through before. I had learned to be loud, cheer on my team and to play at fast paces. What i did not learn was the physical skills we learned because of how fast we were going; i did not recieve alot of attention from the coaches because of how many other players their were (over 50 kids).Lastly, i feel their was no time to learn the skills slowly. I recommend PGC to players who want to get used to fast paces, have at least a basic understanding of basketball, and want to get out of their comfort zone. I do not recommend PGC for players who overall want to build their physical skills, players who want to learn the plays at slower pace at first, and players who want to ask lots of questions.

Two Different Camps

My son has been to two different camps. When he comes home, he feels inspried to work hard. He will talk about and share what he wrote down in his notebook. Everyday, he comes home with ideas and suggestions to make his game better. Very positive!!

Excellent coaching

They do a very good job including all kids who go and as long as your kid is willing to put in some effort, they will take away a lot from the camp.

#1 across the board

#1 across the board. Best in the business trainers of skills development, game awareness and player development of what it means to be part of a team/family. No other camp comes close. The 5 day camps are worth every penny. The weekend camps are great for building excitement.

Not only fun but valuable

I would definitely recommend this to anyone questioning it. You get to know so many amazing coaches and play with other great players with a love of the game. The dynamic by the end of as just so much fun and it was so valuable to me game play. I use so many of the tools I was taught at this camp and the directors( at least the one I had) work with each and every kid. They all make you feel so welcome and teach you so much. If you’re considering on sending your kid to this camp, I would do it. No question asked.

PGC is the BEST

PGC is the best decision for basketball I have ever made it helps with every aspect of the game and it’s so nice. The directors are amazing and they are never bad about anything. They constantly have good energy and they are always up lifting.

PGC has always been a goto for me as a High School coach back when they first started years ago. I would send my players there and know when they came back the would be a better player for it! Now as a parent I have sent my daughter to 2 overnight camps. She was enjoyed herself and met new friends that she still talks to. The skills and confidence she has gleaned from the program and coaches is invaluable. I wholeheartedly support and believe PGC cares about their athletes and their camp preparation shows how much they care.

My son loved Coach Ace and the overall experience! He still gets his notes from the camp out and reads them as a reminder often. I had heard overwhelming positive reviews from friends on PGC camps, so when I had the opportunity O purchased the two camp pass! Glad I did!

Incredible

PGC has changed my life. I loved everyday of the camp, the coaches, the campers and the whole environment. For years I have been working towards increasing my confidence and PGC Playmaker camp did just that. After the camp I understood how much energy can affect a team and I look at adding positive touches to every practice. This was the only camp that two months later is still helping me improve my game and that I still think about.
To me, PGC is more than just a camp. It was the friends I made, the coaches that completely adjusted my mindset in only a week, and the fact that they really care and understand my love for basketball. On the last day of camp we were asked to think of one word that summed up the week. All I could think of was incredible. It was incredible and I hope I can go again.
