Our son Tyler just wrapped up day 1

Our son Tyler just wrapped up his first full day at the overnight PGC camp, and we’re already seeing the impact. He called us tonight fired up, talking about the coaches, the energy, and how much he’s learning both on and off the court. It’s clear the environment is built to challenge, encourage, and grow players in all the right ways.

As parents, it’s a great feeling to hear that level of excitement and purpose from your kid, especially on day one. We’re confident this week is going to be a game-changer for him.

If you’re considering PGC, we highly recommend it based on what we’ve seen (and heard) already.

Growth

I felt like I improved so much as a player and person. My mentality changed for the better. my growth was insane. I’ve never been to a better camp and all the staff were so nice and positive. I stopped getting emotional and was able to control my emotions.

My son used the word "Amazing" to describe his experience at PGC camp. He's attended over 30 basketball camps in the last 5 years and this was his favorite by far. The staff was great and the organization is very professional. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a child that really wants to learn the game, not just play.

Worth every second and penny!!!

My son, like many children these days, plays basketball year round in an environment that can sometimes seem more like a money grab than a development opportunity for athletes. PGC bucks that trend. The insertion of character and leadership building skills is unrivaled in my experience. My son has attended two overnight Playmaker Colleges now. His growth during each camp has been noticeable to me. His decision-making and confidence on the court, in school, and at home have all been affected positively. Other observing coaches that i have had the pleasure to meet and converse with are equally impressed with the curriculum and application of the curriculum by director and instructors. Can't say enough positive things about this experience.

This place felt like family and I will never forget it

This place felt like family and I will never forget it. I was at home and everyone accepted everyone for who they are and out of the 100+ kids here we all felt like a team and like family. Being here is the happiest I’ve been in in months and I will never forget how it felt to hug some of my friends on the last day and they started crying because they didn’t wanna go, and I didn’t either.

My wife was very hesitant to send our daughter away for 4 nights, but she really wanted to go once we reviewed everything she was good to learn.
We are now on day 4 and my wife is very happy we let her join the PGC camp.
Looking forward to attending more in the future.

Fantastic basketball knowledge and skills

My son has attended two PGC camps and both were very informative and eye opening for him. He took lots of great notes and really enjoyed the positive, encouraging atmosphere. He came back from both camps absolutely exhausted and excited. He will be attending a third PGC camp later this month. It will be his second time in point guard college. We can’t wait to hear about what new nuggets he will learn a second time. We have recommended PGC to all of his basketball friends. Great organization!

Worth the investment

PGC gives young people the opportunity to grow and stretch themselves in a supportive, exciting environment. The format of classroom-court reinforces concepts with practical application in a meaningful way. Some players might consider the PGC model to be too demanding, but players who are okay breaking out of their comfort zones can get as much out of it as they want. The cost might be a stumbling block to some, but it is definitely an investment. It is worth exploring financial aid if your player really wants to take a step up to the next level.

PGC is very organized and runs a very well planned camp. The emphasis on character development and displaying leadership qualities for the athletes in attendance is something PGC excels at. My son came back telling me about some helpful phrases he learned in the classroom and how instructors helped him with his confidence.

PGC Camps are a priority for our 3 daughters every summer

We have 3 children and attending at least 1 PGC camp each summer has become a priority for our daughters for the past 6 years. We love that the PGC staff invests in their character development as well as their understanding of the game that translates to their performance and contribution to their team. Wonderful camp that we highly recommend!
