Below are the basketball camps that we offer.  We can also tailor a camp or class to suit your individual need.

Fundamentals (K-5) Beginner Camp
This program emphasizes skill development pertaining to dribbling, ball handling, passing, and lay-ups.  Players will also begin to work on the proper footwork.

Shooting and Ball Handling
This program concentrates on the break-down of the shooting technique.  Coach Kessel has proven highly successful in analyzing and dramatically improving a players shooting ability.  Coach Kessel doesn't just do drills.  He will break down and reinforce the proper techniques for shooting accuracy.  You will also learn the proper jump shot.  In addition, you will learn how to beat your man off the dribble.

Guard and Big Man Camp
Coach Kessel has trained a large group of outstanding point guards.  This camp covers dribbling and passing drills and much more.  Players will be instructed in the areas of decision making, leadership drills, and learning the point guard mentality.  Truly a great session with big man concepts included.  Moves from in the post (drop step and step through power moves) as well as rebounding techniques will be emphasized.

Advanced Offensive Camp
This session allows players to perform at a more competitive level.  Players will be drilled in one-on-one, two-on-two, and four-on-four situations.  Players will learn how to use shot fakes, dribble moves, and moving without the ball.  This session is highly recommended for players who have already completed the shooting and ball handling session.

All-American Workout
This highly popular program is designed to teach players how to develop a work ethic conducive to advancing to the next level.  This program is very intensive and goal oriented and is intended for the highly motivated player.

University Camp
This week long, all day camp has been very popular.  This camp teaches all phases of the game and allows for team play.  Individual skills are also taught.  The break down of skills is essential and it will tremendously improve the players ability to perform.

3 Point Shooting and Free Throws
Shooting 3 pointers is a skill that requires as much practice to perfect as does dribbling.  This camp will focus on footwork and proper weight transfer.  Players will be doing an extensive amount of 3 point shooting during the camp.  Because of the importance of free throw shooting, this skill will also be emphasized.  Being a good free throw shooter gives you a great opportunity to enhance your scoring average as well as improving your team's chance at winning games.

Advanced High School Shooting Camp
This camp is for new shooters who are attending Kessel's shooting for the first time.  This camp will teach shot development, footwork, and proper ball alignment.  You will also learn advanced one-on-one moves.  These moves are essential so that players will have the ability to create their own shot.  We will also teach you how to read defenses and work for that "open look".
