2025 Player Development Camp

The Player Development Camp is a residential/commuter camp geared towards players entering 6^th grade – 12^th grade with an emphasis on the sharpening the fundamentals of shooting, ball-handling and passing through repetition, in addition to defense, scenarios, team play, competitions and fun. Expert instruction, constant feedback and individual attention will be provided by current and former Purdue women’s basketball players and staff. The Player Development Camp will take place in Purdue University Athletics facilities and athletic trainers and first responders will be on-site at all times.

In addition to on-court instruction, campers will have the opportunity to tour all the basketball facilities and several popular spots on Purdue’s campus, as well as participate in a scouting report run by the coaches.

Schedules

Daily schedules are available at registration and are subject to change. Please check with your individual camper regarding specific game times if you plan to watch them play.

Teams

Campers are initially placed on teams according to age and ability. Our priority in forming teams is to have balanced competition. In some cases, campers may be “traded” from their initial team to better balance the competition.
