Our Grade 6-8 Skills Camps is tailored for current competitive players and serious athletes who will be attending competitive tryouts in the fall. The focus of this camp will be geared towards providing players with opportunities to develop all areas of their game and become a more well rounded player. Players attending this camp will learn the nuances needed to improve all of their skills in a controlled 1on0 environment before applying these skills in live 1on1, 2on2, and 3on3 situations. Athletes will be given the opportunity to have numerous touches on the ball to improve their confidence and decision making.
Our staff is comprised of current professional and USports basketball players who are from Kingston and the surrounding area. Our staff looks forwards to using their basketball knowledge to give back to the Kingston basketball community and provide players with an inside look at what it takes to play at the next level.
