These specialized camps include high performance instruction on how to become a premier guard or post player on your team. For male and female players 12 to 16 years of age, the program is much more specific than our mega camp skills package and involves all aspects specific to point guard and post play. Our training program includes gymnasium skill development, classroom work, video analysis, mini games, 3 on 3 tournament play, cardiovascular, strength, agility and speed training. Athletes will also receive instruction in value-based leadership training. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POST AND GUARD? The post usually plays near the baseline, close to the basket (referred to as the "bottom of the key" or the "low post"). The tallest player is most likely to be assigned to the position of post. The post usually scores "down low, in the paint" (near the basket, in the key). Posts contribute to the team by using their physique and skill to score close to the basket, as well as gather rebounds. Some centers can be good perimeter shooters, which can draw a good rebounding and shot-blocking post away from the basket. Guards are separate in 2 sub-categories, all players in our specialized camp for guards will cover skills that suit both positions The point guard is the team's floor general and the best ball handler on the team. In football terminology, the point guard is a basketball team's "quarterback." The point guard’s job is to make his/her teammates better and to hand out assists. The point guards are typically the smallest players on their squad. The shooting guard is usually the team's best shooter. A quality shooting guard should be able to consistently hit 20-foot (6-meter) jump shots. Besides being able to shoot the ball, shooting guards must also have good ball-handling skills because they have to be able to create their own shots off the dribble. Finally, they should also be able to make good passes. The shooting guard needs to be able to take long-shots, around the three-point line. This is because there will be much tighter defense inside the key; thus, the shooting guard needs to learn how to get free for his shots POST AND SHOOTING ($199) | AGE 12-16 | Camp 3 - 12/07-16/07 | Camp 5 - 26/07-30/07 |

SHOOTING FOR GUARDS AND POSTS | | The shooting portion of the posts and guards camps will focus on the development of a confidence-based skill progression designed to improve shooting accuracy and range from a variety of positions on the floor. All instruction progresses through basic shooting mechanics, confidence and concentration training and competitive game paced shooting situations. This investment will definitely improve your performance next season. Learn from our advanced curriculum, in an action packed environment where athletes benefit from classroom instruction, video assessment and feedback as well as on the court shooting stations and clinics. Campers will have access to our Shooting Canon, a unique training device used by NCAA DIV 1 program, as well as professional basketball teams. |
All of our campers will; - Develop confidence and eliminate the fear factor from their shooting game.
- Apply principles of biomechanics to the shooting process. Identify the symptoms and correction factors of the eight most common shooting errors.
- Master the required footwork and alignment vital to shooting off the catch, and shooting off the dribble. Experience partner evaluation and assessment of shooting mechanics.
- Develop a shooting efficiency in all phases of shooting from beyond the three-point arc, to the free throw line as well as the in-between game.
