EVERY PLAYER HAS TO START SOMEWHERE

A Basketball Camp Where Every Athlete Belongs

One of the things I like most about Rodger's answer is that it gives us a much better emotional message for parents.

At Reach Basketball, we understand that every athlete develops differently.

Some campers arrive already playing competitive basketball. Others may be walking into a gym for their very first organized basketball experience.

Both belong here.

Reach Fall Basketball Camp provides a safe, encouraging environment where athletes can learn at their own pace without being judged by their current skill level.

Our coaches meet players where they are, giving beginners the same attention and encouragement as experienced athletes while adjusting instruction to keep advanced players challenged.

It's never too late to learn this great game.

80% DEVELOPMENT.
20% GAMEPLAY.

Camp Is Fun. But We're Here to Learn.

Reach Fall Basketball Camp is designed around 80% skill development and 20% gameplay.

Rather than spending the entire camp playing pickup games, athletes receive structured instruction designed to improve their basketball fundamentals.

Then we give them opportunities to put those skills to work through competitions, drills, and game situations.

That means more touches with the basketball, more instruction, and more opportunities to improve.

FOUR DAYS. FOUR AREAS OF FOCUS.

Besides these four main areas, additional fundamentals, including footwork, defense, rebounding, basketball IQ, and conditioning, are incorporated throughout camp.

Monday

Dribbling & Ball Handling

Develop better basketball control, movement, confidence, and fundamental dribbling skills.

Tuesday

Passing

Learn passing fundamentals, accuracy, timing, communication, and how to move the basketball effectively.

Wednesday

Shooting

Work on shooting fundamentals, mechanics, footwork, balance, and confidence around the basket.

Thursday

Scrimmage Day

Put everything together. Athletes apply the skills they've practiced throughout the week in supervised game situations.

We can mention elsewhere that additional fundamentals, including footwork, defense, rebounding, basketball IQ, and conditioning, are incorporated throughout camp.

WHAT DOES A DAY AT CAMP LOOK LIKE?

From the First Whistle

...to the Last

When athletes arrive, parents check them in and campers have an opportunity to shoot around until the first whistle blows.

Then it's time to get started.

1. Center Court Meeting
Campers and coaches gather to review camp rules and introduce the day's training emphasis.

2. Stretch & Warm-Up
Athletes prepare their bodies for the day's activities.

3. Break Into Training Groups

Players are primarily grouped by grade, with adjustments occasionally made based on skill level.

4. Fundamental Skill Development
Coaches introduce and develop the day's primary basketball skills.

5. Drills & Challenges
Athletes reinforce what they're learning through structured activities.

6. Competition & Gameplay
Players have opportunities to test their skills and compete in a positive environment.

A CAMP FOR EVERY SKILL LEVEL

Beginner? Experienced? Somewhere in Between? Come Play.

No previous basketball experience is required.

New Players

Beginners receive instruction, encouragement, and time to develop fundamentals without feeling pressured to keep up with more experienced athletes.

Developing Players

Athletes who already understand the basics can continue improving technique, confidence, and basketball IQ.

Experienced Players

Our coaches identify more advanced athletes and increase the difficulty of drills and challenges when appropriate to keep them engaged and progressing.

The objective isn't to make every player train at the same level. It's to help every player improve from where they are today.

BRING ON A LITTLE FRIENDLY COMPETITION

Skills, Challenges & Camp Competitions

Learning basketball should also be fun.

Most age groups will have opportunities to participate in camp competitions including:

Hot Shot Competition

Put shooting accuracy and speed to the test.

Free Throw Competition

Step to the line and see who can knock them down under pressure.

King of the Court

Compete, defend, score, and see who can earn the crown.

These competitions give athletes another opportunity to apply their skills while enjoying some friendly competition with fellow campers.

MEET THE FALL CAMP COACHES

Experienced Coaches. Positive Instruction.

Fall Camp will be led by:

Coach Rodger Farrington
Camp Director
Coach Reggie Charlton
Coach Grace Oken
Coach Charles Gosa

WHAT SHOULD MY ATHLETE BRING?

Pack Light. Come Ready to Play.

Each camper should bring:

Basketball shoes
Comfortable athletic clothing
Water bottle
Snack

Basketballs are provided. Athletes do not need to bring their own.

Attending Morning AND Afternoon?

Athletes staying for both sessions should also bring their own lunch.

HERE'S A GOOD IDEA: Label water bottles, snacks, and personal belongings with your athlete's name.

DROP-OFF & PICKUP

What Parents Need to Know

Athletes may arrive 15 minutes before their scheduled camp session.

On the first day, parents must come inside the gym to sign their child in.

Kindergarten–4th Grade

A parent or authorized adult must accompany the child when entering and exiting the gym.

5th–8th Grade

After the first day, athletes may enter and exit the gym unaccompanied.

Parents are welcome to stay and watch camp.

That's actually worth emphasizing. It communicates openness and gives new parents some additional comfort.
