European Basketball Players Pass-Up U.S. Kids Who Have Not Learned Basic Fundamentals!

Many U.S. high school, college, and pro basketball coaches, as well as other expert observers, contend that European players now are far and away better basketball players than their American counterparts. They claim that European players receive substantially more training in basic hoops fundamentals than American kids.
     Over the years AAU and other club travel teams frequently have emphasized run-and-shoot playground-like games to the detriment of basic disciplined team play. Volunteer coaches who don’t have adequate training are another common problem.
     Hoop Mountain Midwest is one of the few basketball camps in the country that balances its camp agenda in such a way that campers receive an almost perfect ratio of fundamentals training compared to playing games. In fact, our three day camps are equivalent to 10 typical high school two hour practices and our four day Prep All-Stars Academy is equivalent to 15 typical two hour practices.
     Therefore, many players and teams that attend Hoop Mountain Midwest camps often have a huge advantage over those that don’t.
     We offer a unique program for teams of eight or more players. Teams play 8-10 games against tough competition while experiencing priceless bonding. They stay in the air conditioned college dorms and also have meals in the college cafeteria. Teams may attend the camps on a commuter basis and receive a housing discount if they prefer.
     Team coaches may coach their own team and receive a salary or have their team coached by Hoop Mountain’s elite coaching staff.
Team players receive a team discount price of $300 per player for all specialty camps and $365 per player for the Prep All-Stars Academy.

Don’t Forget Important Details That Help Make A Great Camp Experience...

A. Optional Cancellation/Refund: Add $45 on line “A” of your registration form for each camp in which you want coverage at a reasonable price.

B. Noah Select Shooting System: If you would like to pre-pay for Noah sessions, add $12 on line “B” on the registration form. Campers registered for the Shooting/Offense camp do not have to pay because the cost is included in their camp price.

C. Airport, bus, or train pick-up and/or drop-off:
$20 each way. Add either $20 or $40 to line “C” if you want this service.

Here Are Two Ways You Can Save
When You Register...

D. Multi-Camp Discount: Our camps are scheduled so that campers often can flow from one camp that ends at noon on the last day to another that starts at 2:30 pm on the same day. You stay in the same room and eat lunch during the transition. So check this out. If it works in your case and you want to go to two camps, subtract $25 on line “D” of the registration form.

E. Sibling Discount: Is your brother also signing up for one or more camps? If “Yes”, you each may subtract $15 on line “E” of the registration form. This is your sibling discount. Be sure to mail both registrations in the same envelope!
