Warm ups
In collaboration with Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), campers will take place in dynamic warm-up exercises and stretching each morning to keep our campers safe and ready for play.
Practice Drills
Every morning after warm-ups, campers will participate in age-appropriate skills and drills with Westchester’s top coaches. Campers will be broken up into small groups for maximum repetitions in drills to improve fundamentals of passing, shooting, finishing, ball handling, footwork, defense, rebounding and movement without the ball.
Gameplay
We do not just “roll the balls out” for gameplay. Campers will take place in at least two refereed scrimmage games each day with modified scoring criteria to encourage players to try new concepts during gameplay (for example an offensive rebound, backdoor cut or three passes before a shot may earn your team additional points during gameplay). Campers will participate in playoffs beginning on Thursday followed by Championship games for each age division every Friday.
Guest Speakers
In addition to dozens of MVP coaches with decades of experience coaching at the youth, high school, college and professional levels; MVP also hosts exciting weekly guest speakers throughout the summer. Past speakers include Donovan Mitchell, Larry Johnson, Allan Houston, John Starks, Walt Clyde Frazier, John Wallace, Brittany Boyd, Zach Zarba, Jeff Van Gundy, David Stern and the Harlem Globetrotters.
