Blaine Girls Youth Basketball


2023 Blaine Girls Youth Summer Camp

The goals of the summer fundamental camps are to improve player development and basic fundamental basketball skills.

Players will be introduced to fundamental skills and drills with the intent that players will continue to work on them beyond the camp dates and implement them into their game during basketball season.

The basic skills and drills taught are the foundation of becoming a solid basketball player. Time, effort, and commitment each player makes to themselves and their game create what type of player they want to become.

Watch the film here.

Download the app here.

Requirements: an iPhone or iPad and a basketball for dribbling drills. 
Shooting analysis requires the device in a location (preferably behind the shooter) to see the basket and the shooter at the free throw distance for AI to set the measurements.
