At Swooperstar’s basketball camp, our goal is to teach the kids the fundamentals of basketball in a fun way. Teaching them the concept of hard work and the direct effect it will have on their athletic and personal growth
How are these objectives achieved?
Studies show that kids are more apt to learn and retain information in a fun and relaxed environment. So at a Swooperstar’s camp, we strive to fuse music and humor built on a culture comprised of a strong work ethic, self-discipline, and teamwork.
Positive verbal communication while holding campers accountable for their actions. We strive to make sure every single camper has a positive experience. We have a zero tolerance of any form of behavioral issues such as hitting, fighting, bullying, teasing etc..
At Swooperstar’s camp we use basketball to not only build but also reveal one’s own character, something our organization takes very seriously. We believe we are role models seeking to better our children’s future.
