The All-Cape Rookie Camp Philosophy:
Our philosophy is to generate a positive feeling by developing a two part plan. First is to EDUCATE our campers on the verbiage and rules that make the game understandable. Where is the low post? How about the base line? The foul line extended? What is the elbow? How do you get back court? What does it mean to travel, and how do you do it? And palming...what's that? These are the things that basketball people take for granted;yet our youngsters are guessing many times and learning on the fly. This can be very frustrating and has turned many a child away from this fun sport.

Our staff will take nothing for granted. To get an appreciation for the game, it is important to understand the lingo as well as how to play. This leads us to part two of our plan: to TEACH the game of basketball. Passing, shooting, dribbling and defending will be the core of the program. To emphasize and reinforce these skills, we will DRILL every day, we will PLAY everyday and we will COMPETE everyday! Our focus will be on good form and an appreciation for the team concepts so important to good basketball. Our desire will be to make camp FUN and INFORMATIVE for all our campers, so that they will WANT to continue to play basketball both in school and as a lifetime activity.

Location
