We at Panther Basketball Camp felt the need to offer the community a Quality Basketball Camp for ages 8-14. We have all worked for camps that are more concerned with making money and less concerned about providing the type of instruction that we would like our high school players to have.
We are here to bring “The Panther Way” back to the game of basketball in this area.
This camp is designed to:
• Prepare each camper for that next level of basketball.
• Make camp an enjoyable experience.
