Summer basketball for middle schoolers

[Anonymous]

Go to the indoor training centers, Evolution or Pro-Fit.

My son attended three different basketball camps (camps he attended for several years past) run by Arlington county last year and was very disappointed because they were so overcrowded (1 indoor gym) that the kids were outside a lot, ball handling drills in a side gym or hall, or just sitting around waiting for a turn.

This is the St James way. Have you ever been there for something in the evening? They divide the turf into 4 sections and have multiple teams stuffed into each section. Way too many kids per section to be having a valuable practice.

My kid liked the camp, but also complained about being rotated outside. He seemed to think the instruction was very good though.

I guess as long as they told you before you signed up and charged an appropriately low price ($50? $75?)

I would be shocked to pull up and find out the camp was outdoors, in VA summer.

It's expensive! Like $250 or $300 per week I think?

I’m $700 per week for hours of 9-3. It’s inside and air conditioned but I don’t think it should matter. If they play high school there’s no guarantee of air conditioning.

My DS says the overnight Wooten camp is way better than the day camp - all indoors. He and friends also like orange line sports camp run by Arlington.

Every high school around here has air conditioning, what are you talking about?

Assuming the $700 is a typo.

Wooten day camp is not $700 unless you are doing two weeks of it. And they do go outside bc STJ is greedy.
