2009 Camp Dates
Triple Threat Basketball Camps are run for the sole purpose of helping determined, young players from Virginia’s Piedmont region become the best players they can become. Our camps are about stressing the fundamentals of the game and reinforcing them during camp games and contests. We believe in the untapped potential of every camper to become a great player.
Session I- June 22-25 at Highland School,
Warrenton, VA
Evening Camp from 5pm-9pm
Cost $125.00
This camp is specifically designed for campers who are involved in daytime activities and will stress skill development and technique refinement.
Session II- July 27-31 at Wakefield School
Day Camp from 9am-3pm
Cost $230.00
This extended day camp will keep your house quiet. Extensive programming keeps the players moving and their skills developing. Last year over 50 players attended this VERY full week of Very full days. Before and Aftercare are available for this session through Wakefield School.
Session III- August 2-6 at American Hebrew Academy
Overnight Camp in Greensboro, NC
Cost $375.00
The camp is housed at the American Hebrew Academy in Greensboro, NC; a facility that rivals the finest prep schools in the nation. Our campers are housed in beautiful, air conditioned dorms on the 100 acre wooded campus.
This camp is designed to maximize each camper’s ability to develop as a player. We do fundamental station work, expand on those stations with a progression of more intricate drills in the evening session, and play 4-5 games per day. During the games our staff evaluates how well these concepts are being applied. Therefore we are constantly reinforcing the idea of applying fundamental skill successfully in competition, which we feel is truly the only way to reinforce their value. This is an immersion camp, where we trick the players into working hard 15 hours a day to maximize the benefit of the camp while having a genuinely great experience.
Last year our overnight camp SOLD OUT! It’s a great value and we work hard to make sure it’s ALL ABOUT IMPROVING!
