This was really a great basketball camp filled with information and new skills taught by a great coaching staff with lots of experience. The only thing I'll talk about is the length of this camp! I needed more of it.

I think the camp was very well run. The coaches kept good control of the kids while keeping them focused on the drills they needed to learn. Everything was well structured and the ratio of kids to coaches was good. They also kept the kids moving and going with minimal breaks to really maximize their time in the drills.

In three days the improvement he showed was outstanding. He feels much more confident in his skills. It was a very positive and enjoyable experience. We will definitely be doing these camps in the future.

My son had a blast! He said he learned a bunch of fun, new skills and that camp was way better than practices! Kudos

I would give Breakthrough more than 5 stars if it was an option. I continue to be thoroughly impressed with this program and the coaches that lead the camps. No wasted time and they maximize reps at every opportunity. Far superior to any other camps we've attended. Well done, Breakthrough!

My son has attended the Breakthrough Basketball Camp for 3 years in a row. This is by far some of the best training he has received. Not only the basketball training, but the classroom and life skills training portion have helped him grow leaps and bounds.

My son has been to 2 camps and learned a lot each time. Lessons were taught in a positive manner and kids were busy practicing throughout the whole day! The Coach also talked to players about positive life skills (practicing gratitude, etc). Skills were taught to not only foster better basketball players, but also better humans! We will definitely be back! Very much well worth the money!

Overnight camp at UW was excellent. Our son learned a lot, really liked the coaches and the instruction they provided, and had a great time staying on campus.

My child came home every day saying she loved the camp. She loves basketball and has gone to several camps and this one seems to be a favorite. She's also worn out so I know she's been pushed hard all day.

I enrolled my daughter in the Breakthrough Basketball Camp in CO, and I couldn't be happier with her experience. She thoroughly enjoyed the camp, which focused on basketball shooting techniques, accountability, and effort. The coaches were knowledgeable and supportive, creating a positive environment that encouraged improvement and teamwork. My daughter left the camp feeling more confident in her skills and excited about basketball. I highly recommend this camp for any young athlete looking to enhance their shooting abilities while fostering a strong work ethic.
