Camp Overview
This camp is for players entering grades 6 - 8 as of Fall 2025. What could be better than three days spent learning basketball moves from head coaches at Michigan Tech? Our boys’ basketball Development Camp is what comes after the basics; you’ll learn ways to improve your game, both as an individual and in a team, and put your skills to the test in games and competitions held in the SDC Varsity Gym.
What to Expect
Daily sessions are 2 hours. Players will put their knowledge of ball-handling, shooting, team play, and defensive play to the test, learning strategies for improvement.
