2008 SUMMER BASKETBALL CAMPS

A facility like no other:
We have a world-class training facility that has served as the home of some of the nation’s premier basketball events, camps and tournaments over the past ten years.  We have seven courts, a 3,000 square foot shooting lab equipped with cutting edge technology, a 12,000 square foot performance and weight training area and classrooms right off the courts.  And its all air-conditioned!!!

Nationally Recognized Training Programs:
There is a reason ten pro teams sent players to train with us to get ready for the NBA and WNBA seasons.  Our teaching methods and staff are nationally recognized for player development.  At the youth level there are few real teachers in the game of basketball in the US.  There is a great need to get back to the real fundamentals – footwork, balance, body control and economy of motion.  We get players an edge because we teach things nobody else is teaching.

Focus on the Whole Player
Our philosophy goes way beyond what happens on a basketball court.  All of our camps provide a positive environment that supports the individual growth of our athletes.  Everything we do at Suwanee Sports Academy is intended to Empower the Whole Player to give athletes the mental, physical and emotional tools they need to succeed on the court.  And off.

A variety of camps to choose from:
This year each one of our camps will have its own unique emphasis and curriculum.  A brief description of the highlights of our various camps can be found below.  Please let us know if you have any questions by calling (678) 541-0263 or filling out the information request box to the left.

High Performance Camp

We designed this camp for advanced players than wanted more than your average summer basketball camp.  Most camps either cater to all ages and skill levels (e.g. typical high school or college camp) or focus on competitive play will little time spent on tactical and technical skill development.  Click Here to view our Player Development Pyramid to see the progression of development.

The High Performance Camp is for players that are looking for a week of intensive learning and training.  Campers will not only receive basketball specific training but will also participate in SAQ (speed, agility and quickness) training in our 12,000 square foot performance center.  Players will spend time in the classroom watching film of various elite players to raise the player’s tactical awareness.

Another major benefit of this camp is that it doesn’t end after one week.  Its important that players take what they have learned and continue to work on their own.  We will spend time teaching them how to work on their own and also provide them with a written workout and instructions so they can continue to work on developing their skills throughout the year.
