I sent my 8th grade daughter to the Playmakers College this summer, and it was a great decision. We live in a small town and had to drive 4 hrs to get to the camp. She's a stronger player in the small town environment, but it was an intimidating experience for her to not be at the top. The first few days she was frustrated, and I thought "what have I done? I've ruined her playing basketball". The staff at PGC however had warned us that we'd probably get a call in the first few days with them wanting to come home, so I was prepared for it. I gave her pep talks and she stuck it out. By day 3, she loved it. Coming from our small town, it was such a good experience for her to be around other kids who loved basketball as much as she did. She made lots of friends and left with so much confidence. She had a game the day after the camp ended, and she used some of the advice she was given such as introducing herself to the ref, which is a mind-blowing thing to see an 8th grader do. When I picked her up from the camp, I was amazed to see how respectful all the players were of each other, how attentive they were to the director, how they immediately responded to prompts in the ways they were trained all week. My daughter left feeling capable, empowered, and proud of herself. I highly recommend this camp!
