See a list of camps for Spring Break 2008

Welcome to the Advantage Basketball Camps' Spring Break camp. Our Spring Break camps, like our Summer camps, will follow the same philosophy of learning through repetition and hard work. The main difference between the two camps is our Summer camps' focus is ball-handling drills with a secondary focus on moves off the dribble. Our Spring Break camps focus on moves off the dribble with a secondary focus of ball-handling drills.

Spring Break camp is a great way to build on the campers time spent at summer camp. The campers who have been to our summer camps will work on more advanced moves while first time campers will focus more on fundamentals. This camp will feature games for all. In other words, we will let the kids have fun each day and play a lot of 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 basketball games.

Spring Break basketball camp will be broken into four main categories. The campers will divide their time at camp into these categories.

  1. Ball Handling. We will spend the first hour to warm up each day with fundamental ball-handling drills while we understand that these drills are hard work they do produce incredible results and are mandatory to becoming a great ball handler. As always there is no substitute for repetition through hard work.
     
  2. Moves off the dribble. This will be the main focus of the camp. We have a large verity of ways that we teach these moves. As always we will focus on fundamentals from there, it will depend on the camper's current skill level. When you come in the gym, you will see several different stations that the kids will be working at, these stations will have different moves and techniques being used to accommodate and challenge the camper's skill level depending on the individual campers needs.
     
  3. Education. This is fun for use because we get to show off a little. We will spend time each day on talking about the game of basketball. We will cover court awareness and angles. How to attack these angles. What moves to use and where to use them and how to use them in relation to where your defender is. How to check your defender and learn their tendencies. How to read the help defense. We enjoy this and in most cases, our younger campers have never heard this information before. We then will demonstrate with the counselors. (This is always a favorite for the campers.) Our staff members have all achieved their highest level of the game and are very fun to watch play. We break the game down for the campers while they are playing in a half court set. We talk about how the ball defender is protecting the ball and court angles while the other defenders will be protecting passing lanes in a flat line triangle to the ball and their player. We talk about help side defense ball side defense standard rotations and advanced rotations. While understanding all this makes you a good defender it is this knowledge that can make you a great offensive player. It has been our experience that from the high school level down that a very small percentage of the players have been taught or understands all this. Having this kind of working knowledge will put you miles ahead of the average player.
     
  4. Shooting. We will use and cover a few different areas each day one of these areas will be shooting. We will briefly cover the fundamentals of proper shooting form however; working on form is for shooting camp. At springbreak camp, we will focus on more advanced aspects such as footwork, quick release shooting, and jump shot. For our more advanced players floaters and up and under will be worked on. For those of you who are new you will get an introduction to our swat team. If you do not properly shoot over or up and under our use bad foot work or take to long to get your shot of they will swat the ball into the cheep seats. Our guards will focus on coming into their shoot from all directions and going up with the shoot in balance and with a quick release. Post players will work on post moves. When the camper feels they are ready we will call in the swat team.
     
  5. Games/Fun. The campers' time spent at our Spring Break camp will be spent on intensive hard work in the mornings. Just after lunch, we will spend time on the education of the game. Then for the remainder of the afternoon we will let the kids have some fun while they work on their game and moves. We will have them work at 1-on-1, 3-on-3, and 5-on-5 stations. The staff will be right there with them to help them learn what to do, when to do it, and why they should do it. The kids love this and it is a great time to work on their moves and apply some of their newly-gained knowledge.
