A rigorous instructional camp for players aspiring to the next level, Point Guard College is designed for high school and college players who want to elevate their games. Unlike many camps which focus on conditioning and socializing, Point Guard College covers the thinking aspect of the game, challenging players to make better decisions in the context of fast play.
The components of the camp include classroom based learning where students are led by expert instructors who challenge them to make quick decisions in the context of game tape. Additionally, students will watch video of their own play and are asked to critique their decisions and make changes which can improve their play. Students bond together in their pursuit of better play, learning to challenge their own beliefs about the game for the sake of game improvement. Each day builds on the next, where practice and conditioning time on the court builds upon the lessons learned from the previous day. Additionally, the focus of the camp on the point guard position encourages players to become leaders on and off the court by helping them to focus on solutions to adverse situations affecting their team.
As a full week experience, the camp gives players a chance to form friendships with fellow players at all levels. Each day, students are tested, both directly and indirectly, on what they learn, with an aim of sharpening the focus and enhancing retention of knowledge. In fact, guards of all types are invited to apply for the camp, which gives a unique perspective for both men and women who want to take their play to the next level. Led by experienced directors who work regularly with College, NBA and WNBA teams, Point Guard instructors are specialists in player development and often working in a scouting capacity for various programs outside of their work with the camp.
