Bobby Sanders Basketball Camps are designed to be fun, competitive and valuable in helping players get better. The goal is to give campers the proper tools to take home and work on the rest of the summer. When a player leaves camp, he or she will have the knowledge and mastery of countless drills that will target his or her biggest areas of need. The atmosphere at camp is energetic, motivating and competitive. Campers and coaches will demonstrate great sportsmanship and use the skill of positive encouragement throughout the week.
