The Program

The basketball program is a great opportunity to learn the basic fundamentals of the game, along with more advanced techniques and skills.

Goals of the Camp

The goals of the Quincy Blue Devil Camps are threefold: to teach new skills in basketball fundamentals, to instruct in the finer points of the game and to teach the all important ideals of good sportsmanship, leadership and citizenship.

Family Plan

A special plan for families that are interested in sending more than one boy is available. The first boy will pay $60.00 and each additional boy wanting to attend is discounted to $40.00.

Daily Schedule

Each day basketball fundamentals will be stressed. The shooting portion of the camp will be taught first. This includes lay-ups, jump shots, and free throws. We will also have a session on team play, passing, dribbling and ball handling. In addition, individual defense and rebounding will be stressed.
