Basketball Drills at Redwood: Building Skills, Teamwork, and Respect


Ever watched your kid's eyes light up when they sink their first basket? At Redwood Summer Camp, we see that magic happen every day! While we're known for our variety of amazing summer activities - from arts and crafts to swimming - our basketball program holds a special place in many campers' hearts. Basketball is more than just a sport—it’s a way to build character,promote teamwork and collaboration, and teach valuable basketball skills in a fun and supportive environment. Through basketball drills, campers learn essential fundamental skills, improve their ball-handling skills, and gain a deeper appreciation for team play. Our specialists ensure that every camper gets individual attention, allowing them to develop at their own pace while also contributing to the success of their offensive team.


The Power of Basketball in Teaching Teamwork and Respect


Basketball requires more than just physical ability; it demands cooperation, communication, and respect. Whether a camper is playing as an offensive player or a defensive player, the game teaches them how to work together towards a common goal. Redwood’s structured basketball drills emphasize:


  • Respect for teammates and coaches: Campers learn the importance of listening to coaching tips, maintaining eye contact, and showing appreciation for their fellow players.

  • Collaboration in game situations: Through small-sided games, players work on their ability to pass, communicate, and function as part of a cohesive team unit.

  • Sportsmanship and fair play: Hustling for a loose ball and playing team defense teaches players how to compete with integrity.


Developing Skills

One of the unique aspects of basketball drills at Redwood is our focus on having specialists who know the game of basketball.


  • More hands-on coaching: Campers receive tailored guidance on their shooting form, defensive stance, and dribble moves.

  • Our specialists at Redwood create fun basketball drills that are made for any age group.


Sure, we teach the fundamentals - dribbling, shooting, defense - but it's HOW we do it that makes all the difference. Picture this: instead of endless drills that feel like a chore, your child is laughing with new friends while mastering the perfect crossover dribble. That's the Redwood way!
