How to Spot the Best Basketball Camps in North Carolina

How to spot the best basketball camps in North Carolina

There’s an old saying in basketball that teams are made in the winter and spring, but players are made in the summer.   

Right now, basketball players all across North Carolina are making plans to spend their summers working on their games.  Some will spend it in the gym, others in the driveway or the park, and some may attend a basketball camp or two.  But with a limited time to work on their game, and hundreds of options to choose from, what are the best basketball camps in North Carolina for their own personal development?

Here are 3 things that we’ve found that may help you make a decision:

1)    Local College vs. Brand Name:

Most local colleges and universities have their own summer basketball camps, but they’re not the only game in town.  The best basketball camps in North Carolina are often one of the brand name camps that happen to run sessions in your neck of the woods.  Camps like Five Star, Point Guard College, and Hoop Group have sessions that run out of local high schools and colleges all over North Carolina, so make sure you take a look at what’s coming up in your area beyond the local options.  The best basketball camps in North Carolina may be IN your backyard, but they don’t have to be FROM your backyard!

2)    Player Exposure vs. Player Development:

Players go to different basketball camps for different reasons, so finding the best basketball camp for you largely depends on what you’re looking for.  Some camps like Five Star and ABCD tend to attract players looking to get noticed by college coaches and AAU teams, and therefore have more games being played throughout the day.  Other camps like Point Guard College and Hoop Group develop players by offering instruction beyond the hardwood.  Choosing from among the best basketball camps in North Carolina may largely depend on whether you’re looking to get better, or get noticed.  

3)    On Court vs. Off Court Development:

Some of the best basketball camps in North Carolina may not spend all their time on the court doing drills and playing games.  These days, the top basketball camps out there also offer video analysis, leadership training, and breaking down basketball related concepts in the classroom setting to develop a player’s mind and leadership abilities off the court.  With so much of the game being mental, it’s important to consider the value of spending time learning how to think the game and not just how to play.  The best basketball camp for you may offer more of the latter.

Summary:

As players all over the state plan for another summer on the hardwood, think hard about your options for how you’re going to spend your time.  If attending some of the best basketball camps in North Carolina is part of your plan, make sure you take a few of these thoughts into consideration so you can get the best experience possible this summer.

Basketball?

Im looking to improve my offensive skill and knowledge on the high school level. Since i’m a new player i still need instruction on some things. Especially in maneuvering around the court on offense. I’d like any tips for becoming a great offensive player, any fundamentals or strategy would be nice. Instructional sites or tutorial videos would be great as well. I’d also like to know the strategic roles of each player position in basketball.
