Event Description
2026 Panther Academy
“The Panther Academy is an old school camp, lasting all day from 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM. 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
We have limited enrollment to ensure quality instruction and experience.
**Note: Incoming 7th graders can choose to go to both camps - in session One the 7th graders will be placed in the SEC (boys) or ACC (girls) league, and in session Two they will be placed in the NBA/WNBA). You will receive an additional $50 discount if registering for both Session 1 and Session 2 as a 7th grader.

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 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 the 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 sports message from a Christian perspective. Although we are about lots of basketball, this sets us apart as a camp with SOMETHING MORE TO OFFER.
No refunds will be given within 30 days of the camp start date.
* The NCAA has a required rule regarding an educational component at all basketball camps offered on college campuses. The Panther Academy mission and goals will embrace this addition with an added session on seven statistically proven ways to improve your grades in school, and National Academic standards for athletic participation in college.
