Our family loves PGC camps
Oir family loves PGC camps. This was my sons first overnight camp and I felt very comfortable leaving him on campus. The staff explained how players would be kept safe and taken care of.
My son came home talking about all the things he learned and how much fun he had.
I would recommended PGC camps to any parent with a kid who is in love with basketball!
Playmaker College is an elite camp…
Playmaker College is an elite camp experience for athletes. The amount of basketball they play and what they learn is on another level. My daughter and her teammate are excited for the next camp. Director Brig and his crew of instructors were knowledgeable and passionate about training all athletes. Preparing them to challenge themselves emotionally, physically, and mentally
Great Choice!!
Top Notch company! Excellent communication. Hopefully the training will be as quality as everything else so far. Thanks.
Easy process for registration
Easy process for registration, with payment plan options, check list to prepare for camp, my kids loves his coach, and said how much fun he's having learning. From the court to the classroom sessions. We will definitely continue coming back to this camp.
By far the best basketball camp I’ve…
By far the best basketball camp I’ve ever experienced. It’s not close. They are the Ritz Carlton of youth basketball camps. Communication is consistent and clear. Staff aren’t just trained, they are developed. There’s a massive difference. My son came home with a notebook of 20 things he learned from day 1. That’s not an exaggeration. That’s literally what happened. Beyond impressed with PGC.
Coach Rudy keeps kids in check.
Coach Rudy keeps kids in check and holds them accountable. Mr. Rudy is a great leader and I’ve improved so much this week it’s great at PGC. For a freshman CI has been a great leader to help us get better . And the lunch ladies work very hard and cook great food.
Both my kids have attended and will continue to attend each summer
Both my kids are PGC grads and we’re back for more. The plan is to attend this camp every summer. They meet and learn how to interact with other young people who are passionate about their sport and they do so in a safe environment packed with lots of life skills/ lessons that can be used off and on the court, taught by passionate, engaging, professional instructors and directors. PGC is a blessing and I’m happy that a camp like this exists to help reinforce what our family values.
Unmatched Experience
Over the past few years I’ve had several of my players attend a PGC Basketball camp, and I’ve also been fortunate enough to attend as an observing coach. I can confidently say, PGC is the best basketball camp I have ever experienced, anywhere.
From the moment the camp begins, the energy is incredible. Every detail is intentional, organized, and purposeful. The teaching goes far beyond drills and fundamentals, PGC develops players mentally and physically at a level I’ve never seen before. They don’t just teach basketball skills, they teach players how to think the game, how to compete, and how to carry themselves as athletes and people.
The biggest transformation I see in my players is confidence. Players return believing in themselves, communicating more, taking leadership roles, and holding both themselves and teammates accountable. It has genuinely helped shape the culture of our basketball program, and even more importantly, I’ve watched these athletes become leaders within our school.
I recommend PGC without hesitation to every player and coach I speak to. Quite honestly, it feels less like a camp and more like a life-changing experience. As one of my players told me afterward, “It was the most amazing camp I’ve ever been a part of.”
I like the positive energy from the…
I like the positive energy from the staff. My child had fun and made a few good friends. However, I'm hesitant to recommend PGC. It depends on where your child is mentally. My child's lack of confidence is their largest hurdle. The basketball skills PGC talks about are great, but their impact was minimal due to the confidence issues.
With such a large number of kids, my child was able to slip into the background on several activities. I noticed, but it was often missed by the counselors. This was the case at multiple PGC camps.
If your child is ready to put in the work and be a sponge to boost their game, PGC can be a big help. Otherwise, they'll likely have fun, but your money may be better spent in small group or individual specialist training.
My case may be extreme, but the mental development at PGC didn't meet my expectations.

PGC is the greatest basketball camp ever
PGC is a camp that can not be compared to by others. Even though it is the only summer basketball camp that I have been to, it is still the greatest. I grew by crazy levels just from my first camp. PGC is not only a camp but an amazing way to spend your summer. I love their camps so much I wish they would make more than just 3 main one’s.
We are extremely grateful
We are extremely grateful for the impact PGC has had on our son’s development as a basketball player. He attended the overnight camp this past summer and then returned for a weekend shooting camp in the fall November 1-2, and the growth we’ve seen—especially since the shooting camp—has been remarkable.
Before attending PGC, he was very hesitant to shoot outside the paint and mainly limited himself to layups under the net. Since the fall camp, his confidence and shooting mechanics have improved significantly. In just one month after the fall camp, he went from rarely taking perimeter shots to hitting seven three-pointers in a single game on Dec 7—something we never imagined would happen so quickly.
Beyond the skills, PGC helped him develop confidence, decision-making, and trust in his own abilities. The coaching, teaching methods, and emphasis on fundamentals truly work. We are so thankful for the positive influence PGC has had on his game and would highly recommend the program to any player looking to grow both technically and mentally.
Thank you, PGC, for helping unlock his potential.
PGC camps are the best
PGC camps are the best. The focus on character development, hard work, leadership, and excellence will help players on and off the court. Players do need to be dedicated, but if your son or daughter wants to play beyond high school, I highly recommend attending a PGC camp. Your child will probably ask you to return the following year.
Once again PGC didn’t disappoint
Once again PGC didn’t disappoint. The fall shooting course was a great quick hitter to get in before our season started. Can’t wait for the next program this upcoming summer. Coach Clint was fantastic.
You need to be prepared for hard work
It helped me understand what it is like to be a great shooter.
Great experience as a coach a parent…
Great experience as a coach a parent and for my son. The term ‘shooting college’ was nothing short of the demonstration of expertise and level of mastery taught at the camp. Every drill, every session in the classes were impactful and enough for players (and coaches) to unpack and apply for their climb in basketball and life as well. Very good for the mental health of players and the staff was excellent.
My experience was made great by all the staff and coaches
My experience was made create was by all the great staff and coaches at this camp. The staff's energy is great the also teach the game in such a way that players of all skill levels can understand.
Southwestern Camp
Coach Purchin did an amazing job teaching / coaching the kids through his shot making process. Giving them ample information to take home and practice.
This is next level stuff
This is next level stuff. It feels like the true motivation is to improve players, as opposed to some camps that feel like they are money makers. Very little down time. For serious athletes only!
Great camp
It’s a great way to learn skills and improve on anything basketball wise, The coaches are kind and very skilled in their crafts.
