All-Academic Basketball Camp is a great opportunity for aspiring basketball players. We will be adding to this post so stay tuned!

  1. You are a High School Player Who Wants to Improve: Basketball camps have been an important tool to help basketball players of ALL ages improve. Being in a gym with passionate players and coaches is priceless. If you are a motivated player, who is a good listener, you will be a better player at the end of your experience. What better way to spend a few days in the summer?
  2. It is A Well-Respected Basketball Camp Nationally with a Great Staff: Greg Kristof Co-Founder, All-Academic Basketball, Ryan Silver Co-Founder, All-Academic Basketball, Jason Smith, Managing Director, Scott Martin, Director of College Placement, Lamar Reddicks. Senior Commissioner, John Carroll Senior Lecturer & Leadership Expert, Harvey Rubin College Placement Consultant
  3. College Assistant Coaches: These coaches coach one team for the entire camp. When they are not coaching a game, they will also officiate. These individuals are passionate about basketball and can offer guidance for players who want to reach the next level. They work with college teams and know the skills necessary to compete in college.
  4. High Level of Competition: All the players at the camp are high school caliber players who feel they might have a realistic chance to play at the college level. It is an opportunity to put your skills to the test against other motivated players for your area and beyond.
  5. 6 games: This is the equivalent of 2 AAU tournament weekends packed into 3 days. It is very efficient use of time. Players develop many skills and learn about their game from playing games against good competition.
  6. It is Located at a Great Facility (Babson College, Wellesley, MA / Duncanville Fieldhouse, Duncanville, TX / Northwest Sports Hub, Centralia, WA / AIM Sports Complex, Los Angeles, CA / TBA Walnut Creek, CA / Athletico Center, Chicago, IL / 76ers Fieldhouse, Wilmington, DE / The Hub SportsCenter, Spokane, WA)
  7. A GREAT Reality Check: If attend one of these camps, there are over 400 players who may or may not aspire to play Division III college basketball. There are 8 camps or showcases during the summer of 2022. If you cannot do the math, you probably cannot gain acceptances to the school in
  8. College Recruitment: College coaches are looking for talent basketball players who have the grades and scores to get into their schools. Coaches can see skills, attitude, leadership, body language – they can see it all. Players and coaches need to make the final decisions. Look around and see all the eyes of college coaches focused on the game.
  9. World-Class Speakers: There are many sessions that help players and parents understand the recruitment process. The decades of experiences that speakers have are incredible. Be sure to attend as many lectures as possible.
  10. Harvey Rubin College Placement Consultant: This is a great resource for parents and players hoping to earn a college basketball uniform. Trying to play college basketball at any level is a herculean task. It helps to have a professional that knows the ins and outs of college recruiting and can help a player find the right fit for college.

What to Bring in 2022:

Socks: Bring a pair of socks for each game. There is time between games to air out feet. A new pair of socks will help prevent foot problems such as blisters and athlete’s foot.

Undershirts: Players work hard at this camp. Be sure to bring plenty of undershirts to change into after each game.

Cooler: Keep your drinks and snacks fresh.
