Myerscough Basketball Performance Camp

MYERSCOUGH BASKETBALL CAMP

Our 2014 Summer performance camp will run from Sunday 27th July until Friday 1st August at Myerscough College and UCLAN (University of Central Lancashire). Expert professional coaches and trainers will provide players with a week of comprehensive basketball education in a high intensity practice environment.


The philosophy of the camp is centered around individual player development; residential campers will train for around 41 hours across the five days. 35 hours will be spent practicing on court whilst 6 hours will be focused on Strength and Conditioning. Campers will make use of state of the art facilities at UCLAN's Sir Tom Finney Sports Centre and Myerscough's Sport Academy.

Ages: 14-25

Venues: Myerscough College and University of Central Lancashire, Preston, UK.
