DIRECTION UP
BASKETBALL CAMP
Dedicated to transforming the lives of youth, one bounce at a time.
Founded in 2015, Direction Up is dedicated to transforming the lives of youth, "one bounce at a time". Our mission is to encourage, empower and motivate youth from all walks of life to aim higher in every aspect of life. We want to remind youth that in everything, there is a choice. They can choose to respond negatively to circumstances, or they can choose to respond positively. Direction Up envisions a world with our youth making a choice to tap into the greatness that is already instilled in them.
All Ages. All Abilities. All Welcome.
Direction Up Basketball Camp is open to campers of all abilities, and we believe every child deserves the chance to grow, play, and belong. While our staff is not formally trained in working with children with intellectual or developmental disabilities, we are committed to partnering with families to make reasonable accommodations whenever possible so every athlete can have a positive, confidence‑building experience.
If your child has a special need, we want them here.
Reach out to us to talk through what support might help your child have the best camp experience possible and to see how we can work with you.
ABOUT THE CAMP
Direction Up will offer each player the opportunity to participate in interactive drills and training techniques designed to enhance and develop fundamental defensive and offensive skills. It is imperative in the summer that young athletes focus on improving their skills and/or being introduced to the game of basketball.
Our trained staff of professionals offer results-driven techniques focused specifically on shooting, ball handling, passing, and defensive skills, along with providing general knowledge in the game of basketball. Most importantly, we will do this with fun and passion in a laid back, yet competitive environment as we work to help our campers reach their highest potential.
At Direction Up, your child receives game and life lessons designed to improve their skills on the court while equipping them to lead a positive and healthy lifestyle off the court. Tools include discipline, timeliness, perseverance, next play mentality, teamwork, physical fitness, and respect.
The camp provides kids aged 8-16 with the opportunity to:
-
Learn essential basketball skills for junior high, high school and college levels
-
Focus on core skills which can positively impact a game
-
Recognize personal strengths and weaknesses
-
Practice techniques in a game setting.
Break-out sessions will help participants learn the art of passing, dribbling, defense, and shooting. Competitive games are geared to improve skills while fostering a fun environment.
Give your kids the opportunity to experience a life-changing week of motivation, basketball skill development, interaction with other children, and most importantly a week of non-stop fun.
