Had the best time

One of my best camp experiences ever.

Immediately impressed

This year was my daughter's first time at an NBC Camp. She was invited by a friend and didn't really know what to expect. The basketball was intense and probably a little more than she was prepared for, but she learned a lot and had lots of fun too. She said she would absolutely attend another camp, given the chance. I was immediately impressed with the enthusiasm and attitude of the staff, from the moment we walked through the door, and that remained a constant throughout the week. Every single staff member made an impression on my daughter - so much so that she insisted that all of them be the only ones to sign her tshirt at the end of camp! Amazing skills, amazing heart for children - thank you to all!

Favorite Camp

I have three daughters, 15 years, 13 years, 10 years. All three have attended various sport camps(soccer, basketball & volleyball). This year they all had to pick one camp, and all three picked NBC as their favorite. So I drove one daughter 8 hours to her volleyball camp, One daughter 3 hours away to her basketball camp and my 10 year old had her soccer and basketball camp in our city(yeah!) We picked NBC for its skilled coaches, level of play and over all feel of camp. I would strongly recommend NBC to anyone who is considering it as a camp. We have done volleyball, basketball and soccer, and loved each one!

Want to return!

I learned combo dribbling, power layups, 2 foot jump stop, pound dribble and shooting formations. I want to return next year because I learned and had fun in this camp.

The ability to know, understand and apply is the heart of NBC’s Teach, Encourage, Correct method. True teaching takes place when the student knows how to reproduce the skill and self-correct the skill when necessary.
