  • At our youth skills camp, we emphasize the importance of fundamentals, which include passing, shooting, ball handling, footwork, and defense. Through break downs, competitions, and fun games, we hone each camper’s skill set over the course of the camp. We utilize many of the drills and techniques we use with our athletes. This is a great opportunity to learn from the Saint Martin’s Men’s Basketball players and staff. Campers can expect to be placed in age and ability appropriate groups settings.
