DETAILED SCHEDULE PER WEEK AND TYPE OF CAMP

1st Week: June 20–25

This week is designed for students who are new to the game, and for those who want to work on the basic skills of basketball through practicing games. Athletes participate in an intensive program, working hard in the mornings and during the teaching and the games in the afternoons. There is a great variety and different approaches in the teaching of basic skills and offensive moves. Learning the basics depends on the skill and basketball background of the athlete. The coaches will be there to teach them what to do, when to do it, and why they must do it. Children love this part of the training; it is the best time for them to work on their moves and add knowledge and experience.

Shooting Camp: June 25–26–27

• The shooting technique that is taught at Magic Shooting Camp is based on fifteen years of scientific research, and rests on three fields of science.

• Biomechanical and cinematical indices help in the technical execution of shots.

• The camp includes hour-long teaching sessions in a projection room where the players are taught the details of techniques.

• Shooters are videotaped from three different angles using a split-screen monitor and slow motion analysis of the shot.

• Athletes use special-purpose means that help them learn the correct angles of the groups of muscles that participate in the shot.

• Athletes receive a shooting evaluation card that includes technical, biomechanical, and cinematical indices.

2nd Week: June 28 – July 3

• The aim of this week is to improve the fundamental defensive and offensive skills in an environment of finely controlled games.

• The athletes have the opportunity to play daily in tournaments of 3 on 3.

• The performance of individuals is evaluated with the help of a specially designed computer program throughout the week.

• Teams change every day, and players collect point in order to compete for awards based on the results of the games, at the end of the week.

Shooting: Guards - Big Men Camp:  July 3–4–5

A specialty camp with a strong emphasis on the fundamentals of shooting, and shooting after offensive moves. The speed of each athlete’s performance in shooting is evaluated by means of a specially designed measurement using photocells. Among the topics covered in this camp: using steps and shot fakes to create your own shot, shooting the basket under control, making good decisions when shooting the basket. Ιt’s perfect for anyone who would like to shoot on the perimeter and inside. Campers will be taught the valuable habits of individual shooting (shooting mechanics, footwork, moves with the ball, movement and reception of the ball, shot after passing, shot after dribbling etc.) in a structured and positively organized program. The foundation of the camp will be repetition through drill work, and campers will learn by doing. Along with shooting fundamentals, the concepts of hard work, self-discipline, and teamwork will also be emphasized. Campers will leave the camp knowing how to improve as players and as people.
