PMBA Holiday Basketball Camps – July School Holidays Port Macquarie Basketball Association is excited to announce the return of our Holiday Basketball Camps this July. Held on both Wednesdays of the school holidays from 9:00am to 3:00pm, these camps are designed to provide a fun, engaging and development-focused experience for players of all ages and abilities. This year we have made our camps more affordable than ever, with players able to attend for just $55 per day or $99 for both days. What makes these camps unique is the coaching team delivering them. Participants will work directly with PMBA accredited coaches, our US import players and senior representative athletes throughout the day. For many young players, opportunities to learn from overseas players and senior representative athletes are limited. These camps provide direct access to experienced players and coaches who compete at a high level and are passionate about helping the next generation improve their game. Across the two days, players will enjoy: • Individual skill development • Shooting and finishing techniques • Ball handling and footwork • Competitive games and challenges • Small-sided gameplay • Decision making and basketball IQ • Teamwork and confidence building Prizes and giveaways Whether you're new to basketball or already playing representative basketball, these camps will provide valuable coaching, plenty of court time and a fun environment to develop your game. Camp Details Dates: Both Wednesdays of the July School Holidays Time: 9:00am – 3:00pm Venue: Port Macquarie Indoor Stadium Cost 1 Day: $55 2 Days: $99 Considering the calibre of coaches involved and the amount of court time provided, we believe this represents outstanding value for local basketball families.
