Our co-ed program embraces the camp goal of providing positive learning experiences to youngsters as they participate in fun activities that strike an appropriate balance between skill development and competition.  Our structure allows us to build a solid foundation for beginning players as well as enhance the skills of more advanced players.  Developmentally appropriate skills are developed through small-group sessions and individualized instruction in all basketball fundamentals including shooting, dribbling, rebounding, and passing.  Offensive and defensive strategies are also introduced so that youngsters can apply newly acquired skills in actual games.  Our coaches take a personal interest in each camper, model good sportsmanship, and make every effort to ensure that all our campers enjoy their time at Hofstra.  Each session concludes with an exciting tournament that offers players the opportunity to have fun and showcase the skills gleaned during instruction. Previous competitive experience is not required, but the desire to have fun and enjoy the game of basketball is a must!
