Performance camp options

Select between two different options for our Performance basketball camps, both including up to 24 hours of basketball training per week:

  • Includes up to 8 hours of basketball workshops per week. Players follow a series of interactive workshops and recovery activities throughout the camp. Workshops introduce a range of topics designed to give a broader view and better understanding of athletic performance and what it takes to succeed in sports. Recovery exercises, such as yoga, help players manage the workload of two training sessions each day.

  • Includes up to 13 hours of English lessons per week. Classes focus on sport, engaging students’ passion for the subject to promote language learning in a fun and interactive environment. Using the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) model of English, qualified teachers infuse language learning into lively and active classes where sports-based projects, discussions and activities take centre stage. Teachers guide students to improve their verbal communication skills while discussing legendary players, interviewing coaches, or writing and speaking their own commentary. Learning is supported by English teachers living on-site and English is spoken at all times throughout the camp, creating an immersive learning environment.

BASKETBALL Coaching

Players get an insight into playing basketball at a senior level. Coaches share their experiences of the professional and US College game, giving players an understanding of what it takes to make the step up. Players are challenged with detailed technical drills and position-specific training to elevate their on-court performance. With an additional focus on improving the physical attributes and mental toughness to succeed at the top, players get a true all-round pro basketball experience.

Eric Boateng provides an inspirational insight into a basketball journey many students may like to replicate. From studying and playing at an NCAA Division 1 school in the USA, to his experience playing with NBA teams and in a home Olympic Games in 2012.
