5th Annual
Winter Break BASKETBALL SKILL CAMP & 3V3 TOURnaMENT
This camp focuses on delivering the highest quality experience possible by bringing on highly qualified coaches to challenge players from a mindset, skill and game IQ standpoint. Athletes will work on skills for about 90 minutes daily and play FIBA style 3v3 games with the remaining time.
Rules for 3v3 adjusted slightly by age group. Games at the 3rd - 5th grade level will be played to 11, and at the 6th - 8th grade level they’ll be played to 15. The tournament will happen on Day 3 declaring winners for potentially two different divisions per age group.
There are 64 spots per age group.
Athletes can sign up as a free agent and be placed with a team by our staff, or sign up as a team.
Note: our staff is committed to providing every camp participant with the best experience possible. We will do our absolute best to not disrupt teams of four that sign up together using the team sign up. Our staff does reserve the right to add free agents to preset teams, but only under emergency circumstances.
All campers get a Sweat Collector T-shirt, tournament winners earn prizes!

A state-wide language
Basketball is a language spoken in every region of our state. It is a powerful tool to help young people learn and grow in areas of leadership, confidence, work ethic, discipline, resilience, commitment, good decision making, and many other positive outcomes.
“I have been coaching and running camps for the past 27 years and Coach Horn is one of the best clinicians I have worked with. Her unique combination of knowledge and ability to teach separate her from others. As great a trainer as she is, she is a better human being. Coach Horn genuinely cares about those she works with and is committed to helping everyone reach their full potential from a physical, mental, and skill standpoint. Her compassion, sense of humor and concern go far beyond helping a person get into better shape or dribble a basketball better.”
Coach Frank Ostanik, Monroe Catholic High School Athletic Director & Boys HC
