PGC basketball camp is an amazing opportunity to learn
Life changing opportunities and life lessons to last your basketball career and rest of your life, coaches are amazing and helpful. The food was amazing and class was not boring whatsoever I love PGC and will come back next year if I can I love the activities we do and the lessons to learn I would advise you send your kid for life lessons and basketball development.
PGC camp
The most fun a educational week for basketball I have had this whole summer
I think the total experience at PGC Creates Basketball and Life Leaders
I think the total experience at PGC camp has been fantastic. I have sent my middle school granddaughter to two camps and she has gotten tremendous amount from each one. They teach both basketball and life skills and I wish I had found it before I started sending her to select leagues. She learns more in a 5 day camp at PGC than a whole year of Select play.
The coaches are all great. They correct constructively but constantly encourage all the camp attendees. It really creates growth in the kids in many areas in just z week.
High Energy - Great Learnings
Taj and all the basket leaders came full of energy and kept that u for the entire camp. My child loved the camp and everything that they learned (entering grade 7 level). They came home every day wanting to talk about what they learned and show me on the driveway hoop.
Highly recommended
Our experience with the PGC Basketball Camp held at the University of Waterloo was excellent. The camp delivered on its promise of providing high-level instruction, emphasizing both skills and leadership development. The coaches were knowledgeable, energetic, and fully engaged with the players throughout the sessions-TAJ was amazing!
One highlight worth mentioning was the visit from the PGC President himself. His presence and interaction with both campers and parents showed a genuine commitment to the athletes and families who invested in this experience. It’s not often you see leadership make that kind of effort, and it reflected well on the organization’s values.
Overall, the camp was well-organized, focused, and provided a positive environment for growth on and off the court. I would definitely recommend PGC to any athlete serious about developing their game and leadership.
The camp was very challenging
The camp was very challenging for my daughter as far as mental physical aspects. They also encouraged accountability, respect, and having a positive attitude and it was the players responsibility to carry these aspects to their team. The director and coaches were as upbeat and positive as I have ever encountered. It fit into our model as parents with positive reinforcement for positive behavior and negative reinforcement for negative behavior.
PGC: Where performance and knowledge meet!
PGC to me is the camp that brings out performance and leadership for my son. The gym and classroom experience at this level creates a great experience for any player.

So well organized and beyond expectations on what is learned in such a short time relatively speaking! My son is a better person as well as a better player because of this program! We love PGC!!!
PGC has changed my daughter's basketball perspective
PGC has changed my daughter's game perspective, now she is much more focused on attack and team work advantages. I highly recommend this experience for all parents interested in improving their children's performance in and out of the court, because the teachings received apply to all aspects of life.
Looking forward to another camp
Excellent leadership is provide at each and every camp. Every camp is ran by specific guidelines and principles that players follow. All of these allows ALL players to not only excel but also have a blast while learning and growing.
This camp was a great investment
This camp was a great investment! I attended parent night and was so impressed at what I observed in the classroom and on the court. The motivation and curriculum were great! The energy and enthusiasm from players and coaches was beyond measure! Our son came back with more confidence about his abilities and the importance of leadership on and off the court! PGC is not only helping make great players but teaching important life skills! Thank you!
Highly recommend
Great energy, staff and overall experience! I highly recommend, I personally think the classroom was the MOST important part so I would really focus there if you go to the camp!
best camp i’ve been to
this was the best camp i’ve ever been to. the energy level was very high and the coaches and director were the greatest. it pushed me out of my comfort zone but that is good for me and it helped me grow not just as a player, but as a person too.

Best Bball camp in the world
This camp is very educational, and competitive, and helped me grow so many skills in less than a full week. This camp is so amazing! The directors all support you and clap for you no matter what mistake you make. Even as well as the athletes. Even on the first day, if you're feeling shy, or quiet, in the next few hours they make you feel so energetic, and energized. They have such a unique way of teaching that is not like anything else. They give the best level of teaching, and give you feedback on every mistake you make.
PGC Exceeded our expectations
We had an outstanding experience with the PGC Basketball summer camp. The program exceeded our expectations in every way — from the quality of instruction to the focus on leadership, mindset, and skill development. The coaches truly care about each player’s growth both on and off the court. We especially appreciated the structured, high-energy environment and the attention to detail in every session. Highly recommend for any player serious about improving their game and building confidence!

There were no adults present to have a conversation with. In fact, my daughter walked off the campus with us without a single adult. We told a counselor he was leaving, but no one was available to speak with us or discuss the issues with us. We asked for the Camp Director, but that person was not available. It would also have been helpful to have the chaos on Day 1 put in context for parents and students during the parent orientation, which lasted 3 minutes. Again, the camp at Whittier might be good for students who are new to basketball, but definitely not for any player who has played before. If you are even a beginner AAU player consider if you want to waste three days and money waiting for things to get better on day 4!

I have attended 2 playmaker college sessions as an observing coach. Every director and coach involved have always had a positive impact. Thank you!

PGC Playmaker College was an excellent experience for our daughter! The way this program modifies games with no-peek penalties, dribble limits, etc. really gets the athletes thinking about the game and greatly increases game IQ. This was hands-down the best “camp” investment we have ever made. Our daughter was challenged, encouraged, and energized and she cannot wait for her next PGC experience! Thank you so much for helping her grow in life skills and basketball!
My son learned not only basketball
My son learned not only basketball, but leadership and positive life skills. Busy camp.and really for motivated kids that like to hustle and improve. The skills he gained I got tonwitness a few days later at a high school tournament he played in. I'm not just saying this, he was a different player! The confidence level, the hustle, the intensity.
