DETAILED SCHEDULE PER WEEK

1st Week

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. 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.

2nd Week

Moves of external players, and players who play or move in the basket: these are the focus of this camp. We have a great variety and different ways to teach these moves. The emphasis is always on the fundamental details, and teaching depends on the experience of the campers. Each day a combination of individual, but also group exercises is provided, as well as exercises with an emphasis on fun and competition games, which challenge and test the abilities of the participants.

3rd Week

This is an intensive program designed to present and improve offensive/defensive details through offensive combinations that are performed during an offense at a competitive level. The progress over basic offensive and defensive principles of basketball will lead to a game of 5 on 5, giving to players the chance to work through a large number of exercises in a competitive environment. Players will learn fundamental principles through 3 on 3 and will have the chance to play daily in tournaments of 3 on 3. Teams will be changing every day and players will collect points to compete for prizes at the end of the week, based on the results of the games, as well as on other activities.

Shooting Camp

• 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.
