PGC Basketball Reviews 

this was the best camp i’ve ever been to. the energy level was very high and the coaches and director were the greatest. it pushed me out of my comfort zone but that is good for me and it helped me grow not just as a player, but as a person too.

The passion the the directors have for helping others especially the next generation of basketball players

This camp is very educational, and competitive, and helped me grow so many skills in less than a full week. This camp is so amazing! The directors all support you and clap for you no matter what mistake you make. Even as well as the athletes. Even on the first day, if you're feeling shy, or quiet, in the next few hours they make you feel so energetic, and energized. They have such a unique way of teaching that is not like anything else. They give the best level of teaching, and give you feedback on every mistake you make.

We had an outstanding experience with the PGC Basketball summer camp. The program exceeded our expectations in every way — from the quality of instruction to the focus on leadership, mindset, and skill development. The coaches truly care about each player’s growth both on and off the court. We especially appreciated the structured, high-energy environment and the attention to detail in every session. Highly recommend for any player serious about improving their game and building confidence!

There were no adults present to have a conversation with. In fact, my daughter walked off the campus with us without a single adult. We told a counselor he was leaving, but no one was available to speak with us or discuss the issues with us. We asked for the Camp Director, but that person was not available. It would also have been helpful to have the chaos on Day 1 put in context for parents and students during the parent orientation, which lasted 3 minutes. Again, the camp at Whittier might be good for students who are new to basketball, but definitely not for any player who has played before. If you are even a beginner AAU player consider if you want to waste three days and money waiting for things to get better on day 4!

I have attended 2 playmaker college sessions as an observing coach. Every director and coach involved have always had a positive impact. Thank you!

PGC Playmaker College was an excellent experience for our daughter! The way this program modifies games with no-peek penalties, dribble limits, etc. really gets the athletes thinking about the game and greatly increases game IQ. This was hands-down the best “camp” investment we have ever made. Our daughter was challenged, encouraged, and energized and she cannot wait for her next PGC experience! Thank you so much for helping her grow in life skills and basketball!

My son learned not only basketball, but leadership and positive life skills. Busy camp.and really for motivated kids that like to hustle and improve. The skills he gained I got tonwitness a few days later at a high school tournament he played in. I'm not just saying this, he was a different player! The confidence level, the hustle, the intensity.

Our son Tyler just wrapped up his first full day at the overnight PGC camp, and we’re already seeing the impact. He called us tonight fired up, talking about the coaches, the energy, and how much he’s learning both on and off the court. It’s clear the environment is built to challenge, encourage, and grow players in all the right ways.

As parents, it’s a great feeling to hear that level of excitement and purpose from your kid, especially on day one. We’re confident this week is going to be a game-changer for him.

If you’re considering PGC, we highly recommend it based on what we’ve seen (and heard) already.

Our PGC Camp experiences have been awesome experiences for my son- learning to take his playing and leadership to a new level and in such a positive environment is truly impressive.

Wonderful peogram, we just dropped our daughter off for her second camp with this program. We can’t wait to see results.

Super amazing experience for our son getting to learn the game from some of the best around. PGC offers an amazing atmosphere and family mentality.

We have attended this camp for a few years and my kiddo loves it. She comes home more confident, with more skills and fitness, and with a renewed energy for her love of basketball!

PGC Basketball Camp was a great experience for my son. The coaches were amazing and it was the best basketball camp experience my son has had. We will definitely be doing the camp again next year.

I felt like I improved so much as a player and person. My mentality changed for the better. my growth was insane. I’ve never been to a better camp and all the staff were so nice and positive. I stopped getting emotional and was able to control my emotions.

My son used the word "Amazing" to describe his experience at PGC camp. He's attended over 30 basketball camps in the last 5 years and this was his favorite by far. The staff was great and the organization is very professional. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a child that really wants to learn the game, not just play.

The camp is great!!! It is not a play camp, it is a formal basketball mastery experience, both on the court and outside the court. Kids have a great time, and at the same time learn emotional intelligence in a fun and engaging manner.

My son, like many children these days, plays basketball year round in an environment that can sometimes seem more like a money grab than a development opportunity for athletes. PGC bucks that trend. The insertion of character and leadership building skills is unrivaled in my experience. My son has attended two overnight Playmaker Colleges now. His growth during each camp has been noticeable to me. His decision-making and confidence on the court, in school, and at home have all been affected positively. Other observing coaches that i have had the pleasure to meet and converse with are equally impressed with the curriculum and application of the curriculum by director and instructors. Can't say enough positive things about this experience.

This place felt like family and I will never forget it. I was at home and everyone accepted everyone for who they are and out of the 100+ kids here we all felt like a team and like family. Being here is the happiest I’ve been in in months and I will never forget how it felt to hug some of my friends on the last day and they started crying because they didn’t wanna go, and I didn’t either.

PGC is a great camp for basketball players who want to develop there game and take it to the next level. This camp personally changed the way a view basketball and my own life.
