He said how much your staff helped to, and I quote, ‘Step up my game.’ But most important to me, is that his SCHEDULE face spoke volumes as to how much he enjoyed his stay at your camp...... you have put a wonderful SCHEDULE(May be varied) experience and memory in my son’s life that he will carry with him forever.

• If you’re looking for a basketball camp that is truly worth the “price of admission,” THIS IS IT. You 7:30 Rise OUR 45th YEAR ! as a parent get the satisfaction of knowing your money isn’t being wasted, but more importantly, the 8:00-9:00 Breakfast skills and lessons your child will come home with are priceless.

Thanks for 2:00-2:45 Lectures and Demonstrations spending extra time with him on his shooting. He was the top scorer on this year’s freshman team. 2:15-3:15 Contests for awards TEAM CAMPS for high school & middle school teams or AAU My seven-year-old son and I attended your player/parent camp and had a great time.

For the past 44 years The McCracken Basketball Camp has been known for excellent instruction in all phases of the game of basketball. Not only are group drills stressed, but also much time is spent on individual work, both with the coaches and the director. Since 1963 we have designed and refined our program until we are convinced that we have the best program available to help all campers develop their talents. We pledge that developing the individual’s skills, both mental and physical, will be uppermost in our minds. Two comments show the importance of this camp: An NBA pro was asked at camp, “How old were you when you finally could stop practicing defense, shooting, and the other fundamentals of the game?” His reply was, “Never! You can’t play professional ball unless you practice them every day.” The other comment came from a long-time camper who was a three-year All-State high school player and went on to play Division I college ball. When asked why he came every year to camp, he answered, “There’s no question why I’ve been successful - I know how to play. But every year I learn something new and check myself for bad habits.” Below are brief descrpitions of each type of camp program.
