    Our UPrep Week-Long Elite Training Camp is an intensive, high-performance development experience designed to prepare our athletes for the upcoming circuit season.

    Running Monday through Sunday from 9:00am–7:00pm each day, the camp offers a complete immersion into the standards, expectations, and competitive environment of UPrep basketball.

    Throughout the week, athletes will participate in a full slate of structured training and team development, including:

    • On-Court Skill Development

    Players will engage in multiple on-court sessions daily focused on individual skill refinement, decision-making, footwork, and positional development. Training is progressive and tailored to the demands of circuit-level play.

    Athletes will learn and execute UPrep team systems — including offensive sets, defensive principles, spacing concepts, transition habits, and special situations. These sessions ensure every player understands the tactical framework required to compete at a high level.

    Daily conditioning sessions will push athletes physically and mentally, improving stamina, explosiveness, and overall athletic readiness for the season ahead.

    Each day includes a dedicated film-study classroom session where athletes will review and dissect game film. The goal is to help players understand why decisions are made, recognize patterns, analyze advantages, and deepen their understanding of the game. This classroom-based approach accelerates basketball IQ and translates directly to smarter on-court play.
