Built for college and academy

A college or academy coach asks for three things: your numbers, your film and a written evaluation from a coach. You leave this camp with all three.

Jordan played NCAA Division 1 at Wyoming. Talata players have gone on to Fort Erie and Orangeville Prep in Canada, Martins Ferry High School in Ohio and The Patrick School program in New Jersey. See where they went.

What you do

You get measured, you get filmed, and you get a written evaluation on the last day. Height, wingspan, standing reach, vertical and lane agility are the tests NBA scouts run at the Draft Combine.

A day at camp

09:30 to 11:30
Testing and skills. Height, wingspan, standing reach, vertical, lane agility and timed shooting
11:30 to 12:30
Lunch, then film. Your own footage from the morning
12:30 to 14:00
Live play, filmed from a fixed camera
Wed 30 Dec
Game day. Warm up from 09:30, games from 10:30 to 14:00, filmed. Lunch, fruit and snacks. Each player gets a written evaluation at the end

Once during the camp, an NBA or EuroLeague coach joins by live video call to tell you how they got there and what they look for. We name each guest once they confirm.

Game day and your film

Wednesday 30 December is game day. Games start at 10:30 and every game is filmed from a fixed camera. You can watch your own footage the same day.

After camp we package your game film together with your written evaluation and share it with you. It is yours to keep and to share with scouts, coaches and schools.

Questions parents ask

What do they bring?

Indoor shoes and a water bottle. Lunch, fruit and snacks all three days and the camp t-shirt come from us, and the shooting machine is in the hall all three days.

Drop off and pick up?

Start 09:30, pick up 14:00, all three days.

Who is it for?

Players aged 13 to 17 who are already in a club and want to know where they stand.

Who else is in the gym?

On Monday and Tuesday, coaches from other clubs join for our Coaches Clinic. They run stations and take the game teams with Deng and Jordan, and they are welcome back for Wednesday's games.
