🏀 ABOUT THE CAMP

Who are LSB Advanced Camps for?

LSB Advanced Camps are designed for 13–18 year old boys and girls with intermediate to advanced basketball experience. These camps are not suitable for beginners. Players should have at least 2 years of structured coaching and be comfortable with the physical and technical demands of high-level training. Players who do not have at least 2 years playing experience of being coached on a regular basis, will find these camps technically too difficult and possibly physically too demanding. For earlier stage players, or players under 13, please join us at one of our DEVELOPMENT CAMPS.

What is the difference between Development and Advanced Camps?

Development Camps focus on building core skills in a supportive environment, ideal for younger or less experienced players. Advanced Camps are for those who have moved beyond the basics and are ready to train at a higher level, with greater intensity, competition, and technical/tactical focus.

What are the themes or focus of the different Advanced Camps?

LSB Advanced Camps are designed for serious, competitive players who want to push beyond fundamentals and elevate their game across every area of performance. Each camp delivers elite coaching, high-intensity drills, advanced skill development, and tactical application in game-speed environments.

We offer two types of Advanced Camps:

🔹 General Advanced Skills Camps
These focus on developing the complete player — covering core advanced skills such as shooting, ball-handling, passing, defence, finishing, footwork, and basketball IQ — delivered across multiple sessions for maximum growth.

🔹 Signature Themed Camps
Each of these camps focuses on a specific position, skill set, or performance attribute, allowing players to go deep into one area of development:

  • 🛡️ Two-Way Takeover – Become a modern 3 & D threat with elite perimeter shooting, defensive dominance, and scoring at all 3 levels.
  • 🎯 Point Guard Camps – Learn to lead, facilitate, and control the game like a true floor general.
  • 🏹 Wing Attack Camps – Become a dynamic perimeter scorer and offensive weapon.
  • 🔥 Advanced Shooting Camps – Refine mechanics, boost range, and develop a scorer’s mindset.
  • 🧠 Read & React Camps – Train your mind to match your skill. Improve decision-making, spacing, and situational awareness.
  • 💥 Bounce Bootcamps – Explosiveness, vertical jump, speed and agility. Athletic transformation for serious players.
  • 🧱 Mental Toughness Camps – Build composure, focus, confidence, and resilience under pressure.
  • 🏛️ Powerful Post Play Camps – Footwork, power moves, and presence inside the paint — for bigs and guards.
  • 🛡️ Dominant Defence Camps – Learn how to shut players down and anchor elite-level defence.
  • Advanced Footwork & SAQ Camps – Speed, agility, quickness, and balance tailored to basketball.
  • 🎮 Advanced Handle Camps – Tighten your dribble, break down defenders, and handle under pressure.
  • 📐 Basketball Blueprint Camps – Learn the systems, habits, and structure needed to build a complete player.

All camp themes are clearly listed on our booking page. If you're unsure which camp is the best fit, get in touch — we’re happy to advise.

How are players grouped?

Players are grouped by a combination of age and ability. Coaches assess players on the first day to ensure appropriate placement for skill development and safety.

🎓 COACHING & DEVELOPMENT

Who are the coaches?

All LSB coaches are fully qualified, DBS-checked, and certified by the National Governing Body. Many have experience coaching at academy, college, or professional levels. Advanced Camps will always feature coaches who have played and/or coached at the professional level ensuring the level of tuition provides insights and real-life experience of professional basketball for all Advanced Camp players.

What level of experience is needed?

Players should have at least 2 years of structured coaching experience and be comfortable with foundational skills. Advanced Camps are not suitable for beginners or recreational players.

Will my child receive feedback or an evaluation?
