READY TO BOOK YOUR SKILLS CAMP?

ONE DAY HIGH SCHOOL SKILLS CAMPS

Pure Intensity Basketball is a basketball skills development company based in the Twin Cities. Over the past 6 summers, we’ve booked Skills Camps in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. The feedback we’ve received on these camps has been very positive. They are an outstanding opportunity for your players to sharpen their fundamentals and learn some new skills too. They are a great way to energize your players and get them excited about off-season improvement, which is critical for deep runs come playoff time!

Location:

Your gym! No travel time for your players!

Cost:

$1,200 for one 5 hour clinic – If 20 players commit to the clinic, they would each pay $60. More players would result in a lower fee per player and fewer players would result in a higher fee per player.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What Grades Are The Skills Camps For?

Our Skills Camps are typically for grades 9-12. For camps in smaller communities, grades are usually 7-12.

Can These Skills Camps Be Co-Ed?

Yes, camps can be Co-Ed. In smaller communities, they often are Co-Ed.

How Many Players Can Attend?

We don't have a minimum or maximum as far as attendance goes. We've run camps with as few as 6 players and as many as 70 players - it's more about player to basket ratio. We strive for no more than 8 players per basket. That way we're able to keep players moving and engaged and avoid lines and standing around.

Can We Book A Multi-Day Camp?

Yes, to inquire about rates and availability for a multi-day camp, please contact us.

Can We Host A Youth Camp?

Yes, some high school programs will host a youth camp the day before or after their high school skills camp. Others will split a one day camp and go 2.5 hours for their high school program and 2.5 hours for their youth program. If interested in having us work with your youth program, please contact us.

WHAT COACHES HAVE TO SAY:

“Pure Intensity Basketball is an exceptional skills development program. Their attention to detail and passion for the game are second to none. I would highly recommend Pure Intensity to anyone wanting to take their game to the next level.”

Lindsay Whalen

University of Minnesota Head Women's Basketball Coach

“I love the way Daniel breaks the individual skills down as well as challenges each participant to get outside of their comfort level and improve through failure. They work hard, make mistakes and learn in the process.”

Ruth Sinn

University of St. Thomas Head Women's Basketball Coach

“Danny utilizes challenging drills that focus on every detail, coupled with effective teaching techniques to enable the players to reach their potential sooner and more consistently. He cares about player improvement and getting players to work hard to be their best.”

Liz Carpentier

Farmington High School Head Girls Basketball Coach

“Danny came to our school for two hours of skill development. I was impressed to the point of trying to immediately schedule another session. I have watched a lot of basketball training and Danny does the best I have seen. Quite simply the girls improved dramatically in a short amount of time.”
