More to basketball than basketball

This camp is exceptional for high school athletes. There is so much more to PGC than basketball. Sure they learn play making skills & get a ton of reps in, but more importantly (in my book) is that they learn how to listen, how to be coachable, to be a team player & encourager to their teammates. They hone in on the details of their character development & THAT is what he will take away as lifelong lessons. My son returned after his first year a more confident player and young man. This preceded his best season yet in the sport & I attribute much of that to his week at PGC.

PGC is highly inspirational and motivational. They are an extension of everything we teach at home, and so much more! I love this about athletics…the village is growing and now PGC is our village! Specifically, my athlete was fully engaged and actually loved the classroom and notes portion…I hope this applies to school in the fall too. :D My athlete has tweaks needed in their game and PGC was able to address many in just the 1 week. I want my athlete to attend multiple sessions every year to continue growing their game. THANK YOU PGC!

Decent camp

PGC Playmaker College camp was overall a successful experience. Although there were too many hours of classes watching highlight reels, the coaches were very nice and professional. The rooms were not great - dead cockroach, stained mattress, barely any lighting. The food and facilities were really nice otherwise.

Unlike any other camp

This program is unparalleled. If you pick one camp, choose this one. The emphasis on leadership and character development form the foundation of their pedagogy. Player development focuses on reads and court IQ. This is not a camp where your player will get max reps at 6 hoops, instead, they will come home with a deeper understanding of the game and how to bring their best self. Coach Kayah Clarke is a true scholar of basketball and coaching. She brings joy and inspiration to students and coaches alike. Her leadership is precise, demanding, and uplifts every player to push their comfort zone and find their potential. She is 100% the best role model for my daughter and players.

Yes it’s ABSOLUTELY worth it

PGC continually offers high-quality coaching with ethical sportsmanship and positive experiences kids never forget.

My older son did several PGC programs (when he was 13-15 years old) and my younger son has done a couple (staring from 12 years old). Although my older son no longer plays competitive basketball, my younger son cannot wait for more! After having a very negative experience with a local travel basketball coach, we were all so happy for him to have experiences with seasoned coaches and players who understand the importance of good skills, foundational learning, and player development.

Attending a PGC camp as an observing coach is honestly life changing. You will change the way you approach the game, and change the way you coach your players. I’ve attended 3 now, and fully believe in PGC. Cannot recommend it enough.

The best camp ever!

I love this camp so much! This camp has made me a better leader and person. They stretched me out of my comfort zone and when they did that I made so many new friends! Every here is so encouraging! Everyone cheers each other on. The coaches are so nice. It made me more responsible because we have to keep track of time to get to class. I would 10 out of 10 recommend it! It was the best time ever!!

Great support and instruction

Every interaction provided accurate and timely responses without lengthy wait times. Even with complicated changes and circumstances, the entire team was accommodating and helpful. On the court and in the classroom, my son benefitted immensely from understanding nuances of the game.

This is my son's third camp with PGC and the first overnight PGC camp.

This camp made me stretch out of my comfort zone and have the strongest mentality I’ve ever had. I grew so much as a leader and a player. This camp is definitely not a walk in the park though get ready to face adversity and better yourself
