TIP:  the outdoor court is Spring Lake is quite the place!  GREAT setting, 4 goals, terrific Sport Court surface.  Many of West Michigan’s finest players since 2002 have sharpened their skills on this court.   Parents can hang out or take a walk by the lake! Pets OK!!

Fundamentals include passing, dribbling, shooting, footwork, and conditioning. Players will have fun plus learn the game. Camps are limited in size. This training ensures individual player attention and strong reinforcement of the skills. Scrimmaging is part of our summer camp model. 

Of Basics 200+ graduates who have gone on to play in college, over 150 have attended our summer camps.

“Guys play way too much in the summer. All they need to do is work on their skills and condition.  That’s it.”  

Coach Tom Izzo, Michigan State University
