Comfortable sports clothing and trainers with good grip are perfect. We recommend shorts or tracksuit bottoms, a T-shirt, and bringing a water bottle.

Absolutely. LSB Skills Development Camps are designed for every ability level — from complete beginners learning the basics to more advanced players sharpening their game. Each camp is structured to make sure every child learns, progresses, and enjoys basketball at their own pace.

LSB Skills Camps open to boys and girls aged 7–16. Players are grouped by age and ability so that every child is challenged appropriately and supported to improve.

Our camps teach fundamental basketball skills — dribbling, passing, shooting, defence, teamwork, and movement — while developing confidence, focus, and discipline. Players progress through the week, reinforcing skills while learning new techniques and earning recognition as their skills grow. Your child will get better at basketball from our camps but he/she will also strengthen emotional reslience, listening skills, stronger communication skills and learn to work succesfully as part of a team.

Our team of camp coaches draws from a wide network of fully-qualified, DBS-checked coaches who are committed to giving back to the next generation. May of our coaches have played or coached at the highest level, with US college and Europen professional experience and provide invaluable insights and perspectives that benefit our campers on and off the court.

Yes! Camp provides a direct pathway into the Community Basketball League (CBL) for interested players as the senior camp coaches are direclty involved with managing teams and also running the league itself, and so can help with placing players into appropriate teams, post camp.
