*Holding Basketball Camps for Kids Since 2009*
Under the direction of Coach Dwayne K. Williams, along with a premier coaching staff, All American Basketball Camp welcomes boys and girls aged 5–18 to camps, clinics, and group and private training sessions. These are filled with essential learning of the game of basketball. These camps and clinics put emphasis on the fundamentals of the game and are hosted in a competitive atmosphere, where campers benefit from a wealth of experienced instructors.
All our hardworking coaches complete the nucleus of the camp's instructional methods. They give participants first-hand insight and training on what it takes to improve and develop on and off the court.
We take pride in building each camper’s self-esteem and bringing out the best in them (both mentally and physically). We encourage kids daily to be motivated and understand that what they learn in the camps and clinics can carry them throughout their journey in life.
