Camps are co-ed and grades are based on the 2024-25 school year.
Our motto is “If you can defend, you can get in.” Most kids want to play, but not many know how to play and be effective without the ball. This camp is designed to teach younger athletes the importance of defense and how to impact the game on the defensive end of the floor. So much of training is designed for offense but basketball is played on both ends of the floor.
We will teach ball defense, help side defense, rotations and angles. We will also focus on communication to become a smart defender, lockdown defender, and an impactful defender. Our goal is to get the athletes prepared for their winter basketball seasons and beyond.
The defensive camp will be very intense, with a heavy focus on the mental toughness of the game. Our participant-to-instructor ratio will be (8:1 or less) in order to guarantee the highest level of individual attention needed to maximize the repetitions. This camp will be conducted by our professional trainer Demondi Johnson and our Legacy Hoops staff.
This camp is designed for experienced players who maintain an intermediate to advanced skill level. We want to make sure we are maximizing the intensity and focus of the camp, so please be sure your athlete is at a higher skill level before registering.
