Basketball Overnight Camp

This is a 5-day, overnight Elite Skills & Leadership basketball camp. Every aspect of your game improves with this camp. You will learn the exact skills, drills, and training methods that the Breakthrough Staff has used to help players reach the NBA level. 

Our Breakthrough Staff has trained some of the best players in the world that have gone on to become Olympic Gold Medalists, NBA All-Stars, WNBA All-Stars, Elite College Players (Michigan State, Duke, Kentucky to name a few), and Numerous Player of the Year Awards at the high school level.

You need more than elite skills! 

​An elite skill level will help you advance in the game of basketball. 

However, your understanding of the game (basketball IQ), your ability to communicate, and your leadership skills are going to separate you from the pack. 

On the court, you will be an extension of your head coach. Off the court, you will have learned a skill set that help you excel in whatever profession you choose after playing basketball.
