CAMP PHILOSOPHY AND ORGANIZATION
The Messiah University Little Falcons Boys Basketball camp for boys in rising grades 3-4 is designed to create a fun and exciting environment where campers can not only grow in their skill but also in their love of the game. We strive to give as much individual attention as possible to each camper throughout the week. We carefully select our staff from our best current and former players who have a heart for teaching and the ability to communicate with young people. We also employee many highly talented and experienced high school coaches who meet our high standards of character and ethical behavior. We know that in some camp situations the coaches and counselors are not always the best role models for today’s young players, we seek to be special in that way, and want to leave a positive and meaningful impression on each athlete during their week at camp.
Training each day will consist of the fundamentals around Ball Handling, Shooting, Passing and Defense. Campers will also be introduced to the Falcon Basketball Drills for Skills factory. We will utilize lower baskets and smaller basketballs to enhance proper technique in execution of fundamental skills. Sawyer Gymnasium has 7 baskets that can all be lowered.
