Basketball Camp (Ages 4–13)

Hit the courts with Dexter Southfield's Varsity Basketball Coaches Tammy Millsaps and Matt Droney and iHoop Director Lex Mongo!

Campers are invited to join us in the Fieldhouse for a fun but competitive environment that will work to promote self-confidence, teamwork, and skill building for all skill levels. Led by the School's varsity coaches and staffed by current and former top-ranked Dexter Southfield girls and boys basketball players, campers will build skills during high-energy small-sided games and scrimmages.

The focus of daily sessions will shift between fun instruction and opportunities to test new skills. On-court time will feature a rotation between group and individual sessions focusing on developing passing, ball handling, shooting, and court awareness. Players will look forward to scrimmages, small-sided play, and shooting competitions as a part of their daily schedule.

Grouping

Campers with beginner to advanced knowledge of basketball are encouraged to get out on the courts with our staff this summer! Groups will be formed with both age and (after a skills check on Monday mornings) skill level in mind to ensure a positive learning environment for every player.

Packing List

What to send

Helpful hints

Please leave basketballs at home. Our staff will have plenty on-site!
Label all items that you send to camp.
Please wear sneakers or athletic shoes for off-court activities. This will keep campers safe and able to participate in all activities.
Please apply sunscreen before your camper arrives to camp in the morning and send in a labeled supply in your child's backpack so we can reapply throughout the day and after swimming.
Camp can be a messy place! We highly encourage you to send your child to camp in play clothes so they can confidently take part in all activities without worry that their nice clothes may come home messier than intended.
Our staff asks that your child arrive with a backpack or drawstring bag each day so we can help keep your camper organized.
