About the Camp
We are looking forward to another great individual basketball camp this summer! GCSU players and many very successful high school coaches will be our staff. You can expect to build confidence in your basketball ability through game situations and constant motivation. Each camper will be coached in the fundamentals of basketball and be taught to apply these fundamentals in personal and team practice, as well as in game situations. The camp will also provide a disciplined, enthusiastic and highly organized atmosphere with the intention of inspiring each camper to work hard toward becoming the best possible basketball player she can be.
All sessions will be held on the Georgia College & State University campus in Milledgeville. Housing will be in GCSU's new, world-class, suite-style residence halls, adjacent to the air-conditioned Centennial Center arena. Meals will be served in the campus dining hall.
Each camper will receive a free t-shirt, and will need to bring the following items with them if they are overnight campers:
- Bed sheets, pillow, and pillow case
- Toiletries
- Basketball shoes
- At least 2 pair of shorts
- 4 t-shirts
- 4 pair of socks
- Towel and wash cloth
Morning sessions will be spent on basketball fundamentals with several different work stations. The afternoons will be devoted to team concepts and practice, with some games taking place. All evening sessions will be spent playing games on the three Centennial Center courts.
CHECK IN WILL BE HELD AT THE CENTENNIAL CENTER FOR ALL CAMPERS (day and overnight) between 5pm and 6pm on July 5th. Your first meal will be at breakfast on July 6th. Camp will begin at 6pm on July 5th and conclude at 5pm on July 8th.
We encourage you to make plans to join us for another productive and exciting summer on the campus of GCSU!
