How PGC Is Different From Other Basketball Camps
The Point Guard College curriculum features five courses for athletes and coaches that are designed to teach players how to train effectively, play intelligent basketball, become “coaches on the court,” and demonstrate leadership during basketball games, practices and in everyday life.
Participants receive a university-style educational experience, including:
Classroom Learning Sessions
You will need a notebook and pen to take full advantage of PGC. Two-to-three times a day you will attend basketball theory classroom sessions, where you will be expected to listen attentively, take notes and ask questions in order to deepen your understanding of the game.
Basketball Video Analysis
Student-athletes at PGC will analyze actual game footage in order to evaluate real‐life examples, both good and bad, of every aspect of basketball. As a result of the in‐depth video analysis, graduates develop the capacity to assess game-play with a deepened technical and tactical awareness.
Court Time Designed To Reinforce Good Habits
PGC’s gym sessions are designed to turn the concepts that are taught in the classroom into productive action on the basketball court. At PGC, we never “just roll out the basketballs and let ‘em play.” Each moment of all our on-court training sessions are carefully planned to maximize learning and improvement. A unique set of basketball drills and game situations are used to build physical and mental habits that lead to smart, effective play.
Communication and Leadership Skills:
Special players positively impact the work ethic, focus, and effort of their teammates. At Point Guard College we will teach you how to get your teammates to work harder, work together, overcome adversity, and succeed in the long term.
All Basketball Camp Sessions Include:
- Meals and accommodations at the host college for four nights and five days.
- A Session Director who works with you all day—from 8:30 in the morning until 10:30 p.m.
- A final exam to test what you’ve learned.
Players that Attend PGC Return to Their High School or College Basketball Programs with:
- An enhanced understanding of how to think and play basketball intelligently.
- Practical leadership skills that will help your basketball team win games.
- A heightened sense of inner confidence.
- A renewed enjoyment of the game.
- Tools for individual off-season basketball training.
- A notebook full of strategies for on-court player development and off-court success.
- And much, much more.
“I learned a ton. As much as I learned on the court, what I got out of it the most was from the lectures on leadership and confidence. It opened my eyes, and I got that love back that I was kind of missing last year.”
Kristi Toliver | University of Maryland, First team All-American and 2009 Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year
“Point Guard College is an intensive indoctrination into how to play smart, minimize turnovers, and be a good leader. These are great, great teachers of the game.”
Rick Allison | Executive Director, Lone Star Basketball Academy, Arlington, Texas
“PGC is basketball in its purest state—players who are eager to learn, coaches who are enthusiastic about teaching, and an atmosphere filled with positive energy. This is an experience that the players will take with them and apply to all aspects of their lives.”
Coach Jimmy Johnson | Eddyville, Kentucky
