This year’s camp will have an outstanding line-up of  high level instruction including several former NCAA players.  As always Geoff Golden’s Camps/Clinics place a primary emphasis on fundamental skill development, overall athlete development and increasing basketball IQ. Each camp day will be divided into 3 – hour long segments: 1. Skill/Athlete Development (ie. shooting, ballhandling, lateral quickness etc.) 2. Position Specific Development (ie. guard play, post play etc.) 3. Competitive “live” action game play (ie. 1 0n 1, 3 on 3, 5 on 5).  Our goal as a camp staff is to teach and inspire each athlete to work at becoming a complete player and become a student of the game.

Another amazing bonus to this year’s Holiday Camp is our POINT 3 Basketball Gear Show which will take place the final day of camp December 21.  POINT 3 is a new cutting edge basketball apparel company that engineers “basketball gear” for the “basketball athlete”.  A company that is dedicated to basketball excellence and specializes in the gear of those that love the game.  A full line of POINT 3 gear will be available for shopping and sizing on the 21st and will be offered at 30% off.  A great Christmas gift for the basketball athlete!  If you have not experienced POINT 3 gear this is one event you will not want to miss!! POINT 3 is the official basketball apparel of Geoff Golden Basketball.

Geoff was selected by POINT 3 after 6 months of interviewing hundreds of full-time coaches, trainers and basketball professional across the country. 11 individuals were chosen to represent the company and its ongoing commitment to evolution in basketball.

The POINT 3 Alpha Program was created to identify and support basketball trainers who are leaders in their field and community, teaching the game with a focus on fundamental skills development, and strength and conditioning techniques specific to basketball. Alphas were selected based on their experience, training philosophies, geographic area and a history of fostering improvement amongst their players.

“There are a handful of basketball-specific trainers around the country who have dedicated themselves to evolving the way basketball players train,” said Michael Luscher, Founder & CEO of POINT 3 Basketball. “We not only identify with their passion for the game, but their quest to lead, influence and evolve their industry.”

Playmaker Clinics are group workouts designed to build fundamental skill, increase basketball specific knowledge (commonly referred to as basketball I.Q) and develop overall athleticism.  Each Sunday session will be a comprehensive workout with a different emphasis in each of the above categories.  For example, our first Sunday we will specialize in shooting off the dribble, concept of offense spacing and lateral quickness.  Each session will conclude with a controlled scrimmage to help players learn to transfer skills and concepts from drills to game conditions.

Our primary goal with the Playmaker sessions is to provide a competitive environment for young players to learn the game of basketball.  Our emphasis as coaches is to teach the game in a way that builds confidence and allows for transfer of learning to game situations.  We run a disciplined program that gives us the ability to maximize our time on the court and minimize distractions to ensure the most efficient learning and development environment.  In other words, we take our basketball very serious as we hope our students do!

BC Denver has quickly become one of the most competitive AAU/Club programs in the Rocky Mountain region.  As we established in our first season our foundation and primary focus is in the development of our athletes.  We place a premium on individual skill development, athletic development and learning to play the game – basketball IQ.  We feel that development is driven by quality coaches, quality practice and quality competition.  We have 3 mandatory practices per week – 2 team practices/1 skill-athlete development practice.  A 4th optional shooting practice is available to all athletes in the program on Friday nights.  At BC Denver we believe hard work is the price of admission to being a great player and we stive to give our athletes that opportunity.
