Nike Boys Basketball Camp Embry Riddle University

The Nike Boys Basketball Camp at Embry-Riddle University in Prescott, Arizona, is the perfect summer destination for young athletes eager to elevate their game. Designed for boys aged 10-18, this camp combines expert coaching with a focus on skill development, teamwork, and confidence-building. Led by seasoned coaches CJ Appleton and Markel Leonard, the camp emphasizes refining fundamental basketball skills like shooting, footwork, and ball-handling. Whether your child is a post player, wing, or guard, the Complete Skills Camp format ensures that players of all positions and abilities receive tailored instruction to enhance their performance on the court. Alongside daily drills and team play, campers also engage in discussions about situational strategies such as time and game management—key elements for becoming a smarter player. The camp offers both overnight and extended day options. Overnight campers stay in on-campus dorms (with shared bathrooms) and enjoy a full immersion experience that includes meals and evening activities. Extended day campers participate in the same rigorous basketball training but return home each evening. Both options provide access to professional-grade facilities and a structured schedule designed to maximize learning and fun. Highlights of the camp include personalized evaluations to address each player’s needs, competitive games, and even prizes like a Nike Basketball Camp t-shirt. With a focus on both athletic improvement and personal growth, this camp offers an inspiring environment where young players can sharpen their skills while building confidence and making new friends. It’s not just about basketball—it’s about setting the foundation for success both on and off the court.
