    sportsmanship was really encouraged

    July 4, 2021: Jadon really liked the camaraderie with the other campers and how sportsmanship was really encouraged. That made him feel more comfortable making friends and ultimately focus on playing his best. He also commented on the time spent in the team room watching film. He really liked that.

    The Camp was Fantastic!

    August 5, 2019: The camp was fantastic. From the my initial greeting by Trent Johnson to the closing remarks from Coach Fox I was impressed by the focus on fatherhood and preparing the boys for becoming outstanding young men. It was awesome to hear everyone cheering the kids on by name. Very positive experience and I appreciated the intimate setting. Each of us will be better players because of this and you will have 3 more supportive fans of the Cal Men's Basketball program and especially the coaching staff. Cheers to Coach Fox and the rest of the guys.

    We'll be back!

    August 11, 2018: We just moved here from Dallas two weeks ago and were eager to have Jacob participate in the camp. He has taken part in six camps this summer in total. This one exceeded our expectations. He loved it. The coaches were personable and encouraging. It emphasized sportsmanship. We\u2019ll be back next summer. We plan on going to support the team. Regardless, the camp was beneficial skill-wise and very fun!

    Awesome feedback

    Learned a lot

    August 5, 2018: Brandon attended the camp without a friend this year. On the first day he quickly engaged with the counselors and players which helped him feel comfortable. He made friends quickly with other kids. He loved playing with the older kids because he learned how to dribble around the opponent.
