NBC Camps' Program

NBC Camps works to create basketball intensity, expectation on and off the court for excellence, leadership and quality sports training curriculums. We believe training the mind to compete is crucial to becoming a great athlete. Our program is dedicated to helping athletes develop stronger on and off the court. We focus on developing the skills crucial for basketball success.

We want the privilege of helping you achieve your basketball and life goals.

A highlight of camp is definitely the Intensity Station. Music, sweat, encouragement, and hard work make up this hour long power workout that helps athletes discover their limits and push through them.

Camp environment is important.
By environment we mean the atmosphere of the camp, the way people speak to each other, the quality of relationships between the coaches and the campers. At NBC Camp, we believe environment is a crucial component of becoming the best player you can be. You can technically be the best shooter in the world but if you have no self-confidence you can never be a great shooter. Confidence becomes permanent in an environment where people encourage, support, and care about you. That's why some of the best players in the game are children of coaches. They had the experience of playing in an environment that balanced the tough line between love and high expectations. Especially when learning new skills, athletes must find environments that build them up, not tear them down.

Accuracy and Repetition are crucial. The right camp environment helps solidify those important skills.
It takes 3 days and at least 20 to 30 repetitions each day to learn a new skill. It takes 40 days and 2500-3000 repetitions to fix a skill learned incorrectly. It's worth the time and money to learn it right the first time.

Train your mind, not just your body.
What's more important, your physical skills or your mental skills? Tough-mindedness, courage, confidence, conviction, character, are all skills requiring training and intentional pursuit. You can practice left-hand lay-ups all day, but until you develop the winner's mind set, you'll fold under pressure. When you are tough-minded, putting in the long hours to become a great player becomes joy instead of drudgery.

NBC Camps is crucial to your game elevation.
Games do not give you the major changes in your game. Programs and coaches who spend all summer playing games make a mistake because athletes are not spending the individual time working on their skills. Basketball skills are improved individually during the off-season. Professional athletes who determine they need adjustment in their game, get by themselves and work specifically on skill development and improvement. Games only expose what you already know, they can't correct bad habits, nor take your skills to the next level. Only specific intentional skill training can do that for you. NBC Camps wants to help you take your game higher.

"NBC CAMPS has done a great job of setting themselves apart from their competition.  I don’t think anyone would disagree that they give their campers not only great basketball
 instruction, but also an unforgettable EXPERIENCE.
Their evening programs and summer themes are life-changing.  My amazing parents will tell you that they consider NBC Camps to be one of the best investments they ever made in my life."
-Mike Nilson, Former Gonzaga Elite 8, WCC defensive player of the year, European Pro

" When Jacob, our oldest son was 9 years old my wife and I made a challenging decision. We put Jacob on an airplane by himself from Seattle to Spokane.   We trusted the people at NBC Camps to take care of our son.
Looking back over these past 15 years, my wife and I can say without reservation that NBC Camps has been the single best investment in the lives of our three children Jacob, Megan, and Jonnie.  We believe the success of raising healthy and productive children requires partnering with quality people and organizations like NBC Camps.  We have not found any other organization that matches NBC Camps dedication to partnering with parents to help our children win in the game of life."
-Frank Washburn, High School Principal 

"My name is Angela and I am a professional basketball coach in Rome.  My passion is basketball.  At one point, my desire was to be one of Italy’s best players.  The highlight of my career was when Italy defeated the USA in the 1993 World Games.  I have played basketball at the highest level and I have experienced many great learning opportunities. Today my motivation is to coach Italy’s Olympic team.  When I saw NBC Camps for the first time, I knew this would be a great opportunity for me to learn more about coaching basketball, especially the technical and motivational aspects of the game.  This past summer I spent 10 days in the United States at Crowell’s Intensity Camp.  NBC Camps is fantastic.  Being part of NBC Camps is one of the best experiences of my life and I am a better coach for it.  NBC Camps will make you a better player, but more importantly, you will be a better person."
