Basketball Program

Basketball Training:

MBSC’s Nike Basketball Camp offers the finest facilities, staff, programs, and a superior instructional method that will bring your game to another level! Coined by a camper as “the everything camp,” MBSC provides its own unique teaching method that effectively covers every aspect of the game, offers a variety of fun off-court activities, and attracts campers from all over the world.

Coaching Philosophy: We stress to our campers the importance of individual growth as a basketball player. Consequently, a primary goal of the camp is to teach players how to make themselves better during camp and, most importantly, how to continue the improvement when they leave camp. We want our campers to have fun while learning.

A CAMP FOR ALL LEVELS! Classes are programmed for three different proficiency levels: beginners, intermediates and advanced players — of all ages. Each student will be tested evaluated and placed in a group of similar ability, and age.

Beginners will be playing basketball in just a few days; intermediates will improve all aspects of their game; and advanced players will sharpen their game to a competitive edge.

Our intensified program for aspiring Tournament Players are ideal for competitive players who presently play or wish to try out for their high school or other outside leagues.

Over three quarters of our enrollment is comprised of sleepover students. The Sleepover program includes 25-30 hours of basketball instruction, all meals, housing, and some nightly activities.
