At Elite Camp, Coach VanDerveer teaches an advanced “Skill Circuit”: full court moves, one on one moves, two ball drills, point, wing, and post moves, passing entries into an offense, and more that will have a daily progression. All 5 on 5, full court, officiated games are played indoors. Although it is an advanced camp, there is still time for plenty of fun. Pizza parties in the dorm will have you laughing out loud!
