Located in the scenic town of Waxhaw, North Carolina, Summer School Sports Youth Basketball Camp offers an unparalleled introduction to the world of basketball for boys and girls ages 5 to 9. Designed as a beginner’s gateway into the sport, this camp is a vibrant, engaging, and nurturing environment where young athletes can embark on their basketball journey.

Summer School Sports is also a Christian organization. We hope to promote faith through a short prayer at the beginning and end of each day and will spend a short time daily discussing some stories from the Bible. Campers are encouraged to participate and ask questions. We hope that our camp can be a humble example of service to you and your family. 

Our camp is located at Marvin AME Zion Church, near the intersection of Providence and Rea Road. The church has the perfect facility for this camp with 8 foot baskets and plenty of playing space. 

Registration is open to all kids interested with no prerequisite skills required. We believe in inclusivity and the transformative power of sports to build character, discipline, and friendship. Our camp is more than just about learning basketball; it’s about growing together in a supportive and fun-filled environment.

The Youth Basketball Camp is structured over a series of sessions that span the basics of basketball. Starting with fundamental skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting, our experienced coaches and mentors ensure that each child receives personalized attention, adapting teaching methods to suit different learning paces and styles. This approach ensures that every camper finds their footing, confidence, and, most importantly, their joy in playing basketball.

Safety and enjoyment are our top priorities. The camp adheres to the highest standards of safety, with all activities conducted under the supervision of certified coaches who are also trained in first aid. The health and well-being of our campers are paramount, and our staff is dedicated to creating a secure environment where children can freely explore their potential.

But it’s not all drills and skills training. Our camp emphasizes the importance of play and creativity, incorporating fun games and competitions that reinforce teamwork and sportsmanship. These activities are designed to be inclusive, ensuring that every child, regardless of skill level, can participate and feel a sense of achievement and belonging.

One of the highlights of our camp are the daily 5-on-5 games we play that allows campers to experience the thrill of competition in a supportive and encouraging setting. It’s a time of excitement, camaraderie, and pride as children get to showcase their newfound skills to friends, celebrating their progress and the fun of basketball. On Friday, parents and family members are invited to watch our end of camp “tournament.” The culmination of a week of learning and playing. The transformation of each player is remarkable to see.
