Panther Basketball Camps

2021 Panther Academy

We are having Camp!
We are creating a Bubble!

Each camper will be tested prior to camp by the local the local health department. The test is free and is a gentle swab of the nose.  We receive results in 15 minutes.  Once cleared each camper will check into the Rec center and dorm.  Temperature and symptom will be taken each morning before camp.  Campers will be encouraged to wear masks when not participating but are not required to wear masks while playing on the court.  

We are limiting enrollment and have 60 already enrolled from last year.  We hope you will join us!  Please register early before spaces fill!
 

“The Panther Academy is an old school camp, lasting all day from 9am-9pm. Our intent is to nurture relationships both on the court and in the dorm. We want it to be a fun-filled week of basketball instruction, learning, and competition. At the end, your sons and daughters will hopefully have gained memories and friendships for a lifetime, and will return home physically fatigued but thoroughly satisfied.” - Coach Barber

AFFORDABLE PRICE.  In an attempt to keep things affordable we are trying to keep the price lower than other comparable camps. Even though costs of conducting the camp have gone up in recent years we are trying to keep your cost down because WE BELIEVE IN THIS CAMP and its ministry, so we want to keep the prices down in hopes of making it affordable for everyone who wants to attend. - Coach Barber

We have limited enrollment

ABOUT THE ACADEMY. The Academy will provide instruction on how athletes need to develop their basketball skills during the week of camp. It will also instill practice ideas and drills for use beyond the camp schedule. It is our intent to see players improve both their offensive and defensive skills, and motivate them in such a way that they will continue on in the practices learned throughout the summer and school year. Each group of campers will have an individual coach who will work with them and coach them throughout the week.

PANTHER ACADEMY HALL OF FAME. Campers who have attended 5 years or more will be inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame and will receive a special gift and ceremony during camp. Please indicate on registration form if you are an eligible PBA-HOF member.

An integral part of our camp is our coaching, teaching, and instruction in a Christian atmosphere. Each morning we start camp with prayer and a daily challenge – a motivational start for the day’s activities. Each evening we have praise and worship with a worship leader (singing and music), and a message from a Christian perspective. Although we are about lots of basketball, this sets us apart as a camp with SOMETHING MORE TO OFFER.
