Legarza Basketball Camp-St. Cecilia School

Safety

Legarza Basketball Camp prioritizes safety through structured scheduling, clear supervision, and small group sizes. Campers are divided into teams of approximately 8–12 children, supported by a staff-to-camper ratio of roughly 1:8. This allows coaches to provide hands-on guidance while maintaining awareness of each child’s comfort, ability, and safety. All activities are age-appropriate and supervised at all times.

To ensure a balanced and safe day, the schedule includes regular water breaks, shaded rest periods, and a variety of activities that alternate in intensity levels. Coaches emphasize proper warm-up, stretching, and correct technique to minimize the risk of injury. Behavior expectations are clearly communicated, creating a respectful environment that fosters cooperation and reduces conflict. Safety is reinforced through consistent routines, attentive staff, and a positive, encouraging atmosphere.

Camp Traditions

Legarza’s traditions revolve around encouragement, personal growth, and celebrating improvement rather than competition alone. Each camper is recognized for their individual progress, effort, and sportsmanship, contributing to a culture where trying hard matters as much as winning. The camp promotes leadership, teamwork, and kindness through its daily activities and coaching approach.

Campers begin the day with group warm-ups that build community and energy. Teams remain consistent throughout the week, helping kids bond with peers and feel part of a supportive group. Throughout each session, children are given opportunities to set personal goals, cheer on their teammates, and reflect on their successes. These traditions create a familiar rhythm that campers look forward to and help them leave each day feeling proud and motivated.

Legarza Basketball Camp offers a dynamic and engaging program where kids build fundamental basketball skills while having fun. The camp blends structured drills, cooperative games, and friendly scrimmages to keep players active and learning throughout the day. Coaches use positive reinforcement to help children progress at their own pace, celebrate personal achievements, and stay motivated.

Instruction covers the essential elements of the sport, including dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense. Kids rotate through skill stations, work with peers, and then apply what they’ve learned during team games and scrimmages. The program is designed to help every camper develop coordination, confidence, and a genuine love for the sport.
