Overview
You can't beat great coaching and phenomenal program design. At Bald Eagle that is what you get every single week!
Our camp lives and breaths with the Go Bald Message to Make The Most Of What You've Got and to Build The Best Version Of You
The Baller Basketball Camp is for 3rd-8th graders and aims to build complete players who understand the importance of each skill required to be successful on the basketball court, not just guard or post skills..or jacking 3's like Steph Curry. He is much more than just a shooter.
We aspire to increase the intrinsic motivation of each camper, so that they will strive to be their very best well beyond the basketball court. Campers will get high level coaching on all the key fundamentals and concepts in order to become a complete player.
We want campers to walk away feeling better about themselves and knowing that their decisions and attitude dictate where they end up as a player, and more importantly as a person.
THE ULTIMATE IN SUMMER PROGRAMMING
Our camp program involves and excellent mix of skill work, drills, game play and competitions. Every aspect is thoughtfully assembled to keep campers engaged, connected, active and improving.
We also have a unique afternoon program, our GO ZONE Free Choice Period outlined below.
Campers love our basketball camp formula which is why we are one of the largest camps around. Never boring, always FUN and a growing LOVE OF HOOPS in their heart!
Daily Programming
The Bald Eagle Basketball Camp is suited for all level players from beginner to advanced. We masterfully manage groupings and match-ups so that each player is challenged yet successful.
Campers remain in the Basketball Camp program the entire morning as well as right after lunch and at the last segment of the day. They have a sound mix of skill development, exciting competitions and lots of games.
Don't let them miss the two ongoing weekly tournaments, the 3v3 NCAA Madness and the 5v5 Go Bald Classic with prizes to the champions!
The camp is led by our Professional Basketball Director and a multitude of highly experienced and trained coaches who with college and/or high school playing experience. Every coach at Bald Eagle is trained to take pride in providing a positive experience for all players.
Coach Bob, the camp founder, designs this concept from his vast experiences as a Head Varsity Coach, college Asst. Coach, National Junior Basketball & Foothill Youth Basketball League Board Member, Positive Coaching Alliance Trainer, youth coach (his own 3 kids!) and college playing experience. He has 25 years of experience teaching high school PE and SPED. He is a movement and teaching expert with a Kinesiology degree along with a Masters in Special Ed and Credential in PE.
This masterfully thought out camp design will have kids improving dramatically, growing their confidence, feeling empowered and loving basketball.
MORE THAN JUST BASKETBALL
One element of our Basketball Camp that has it selling out every week is our "added feature" you won't find anywhere except Bald Eagle. Most basketball camps exhaust and burnout the kids with SIX hours of basketball.
Our unique formula gives them a choice to break from hoops for about an hour in the afternoon. If they don't want the break, they can choose to play more basketball games or get extra shots up with a coach.
Since we have 2 other camps that are going on at the same location, Non-Traditional Multi Sports and Sports Leadership, we have options other basketball camps don't.
In the afternoon, all 3 camps come together for our famed GO ZONE Free Choice Period that ALWAYS includes a basketball station so they can play hoops all day if they want.
The GO ZONE Free Choice periods are open to every camper on campus, and it's a time for all campers to come together and it has a FUN family feel.
Kids love to CHOOSE what fun summer activity they want to enjoy and GO to that ZONE!(swimming*, bouncy house, ga-ga ball pit, water games, dodgeball, whiffle ball, volleyball, basketball, flag football, pickle-ball, arts & crafts, yoga/dance, soccer, kickball, hockey, indoor scooter ball, Zaber sword games, ping pong, foosball, air hockey, etc.)
It's the perfect formula because too many hours of basketball can get daunting so campers LOVE having a semi-structured break to go "just have fun" and choose their own plan for an hour each day.
It is summer after all!
