What We Offer

Prairie Slam Basketball Camps will enhance a young player’s fundamentals and development. We believe in our process that stresses our players have a lot of time on task, lots of reps and most importantly a mental growth aspect for most drills.  We teach HOW to play basketball and make it fun while players learn.

At Prairie Slam Basketball Camps we have competitive games every day.  These games will consist of free throws, knockout championships, and our favorite, BUCKETS shooting (collection game).  Our contests are designed to allow every young player an opportunity to be successful and have a great time.

Prairie Slam Basketball Camps use half-court games almost exclusively after we learn a skill(s).  Our belief is that this is the best way for younger players to employ the skills they have learned during their lessons through the day.  Our philosophy is to teach our camper attendees to learn individual skills while focusing on how to play team basketball.  We expect every player to play smart, play enthusiastically, and have great sportsmanship.

Other Excitement!

When the camp ends, players will receive a Certificate of Completion to show that their hard work and determination did not go unnoticed!
