Frequently Asked Questions
-
All your athlete will need is a basketball + water bottle!
-
Yes, of course! Parents are welcome to stay to observe any part of camp. We leave the teaching & coaching entirely to our staff, but finding a spot in the gym to sit & watch is welcomed.
We host an awards ceremony at the end of each camp, and parents are encouraged to stop in for the last 10-15 minutes on the last day and participate in the award ceremony.
-
Our camps are designed to be more than just a day-care style experience. Our teaching curriculum is intensive, with a goal of guiding players towards packing a ton of basketball learning & skill building into the few days that they’re at camp.
Players & parents often share that they appreciate the energy, positive feel in the gym and get a lot of the camps that stick with the athletes as they spend the rest of summer working on their games.
-
We serve all levels of play at camp, but participating athletes should first demonstrate an interest in basketball & being coached before registering for a camp.
Players are frequently organized into smaller groups by age, ability and gender throughout the week to ensure they receive a development experience fit to their ability & needs.

WHY IGNITE CAMPS?
We’re not just another basketball camp.
Our camps are designed to develop basketball players. Our staff is constantly evolving with the game to efficiently help young athletes transform their game performance. We are huge believers that coaching is best received in an environment that athletes enjoy & feel comfortable in. Camps are loaded with mini-games and contests to increase engagement and allowing athletes to experience game based situations which will translate to their future development.
Athletes that attend an Ignite camp will be excited to get back in a gym and keep growing in their skill and love for the game!!
