Our UK basketball summer camp is a residential programme for 9 to 17 year-olds eager to improve their game, train like professional players, and enjoy a memorable international summer school experience. As one of the top residential sports camps in England, our basketball camp offers three hours of professional coaching each day alongside three hours of English tuition, providing an ideal blend of sport, education and cultural exchange.

Led by experienced coaches, the training encompasses fitness, agility, dribbling, shooting, tactical play, teamwork, and communication, with small-sided matches and shooting exercises daily to boost confidence and endurance. Our basketball coaching camp for children and teenagers adopts a professional training approach, instilling discipline, a strong work ethic, and the right mindset for success on the court.

In addition to basketball, students enjoy the experience of a safe, fully supervised residential summer camp in the UK, where they live, learn, and train alongside peers from around the world. All participants are assessed at the start and conclusion of the programme to track progress in both basketball skills and English language ability, with the aim of every student mastering at least one new skill by the end.

With its unique combination of basketball summer school, English lessons, and international friendships, our camp provides one of the finest sports summer camp experiences in the UK, near London, for aspiring young athletes.

Benefits and results

Basketball is a great social sport. If you are confident on the basketball court, you are confident in social situations on and off the court. The ability to play basketball also encourages an active lifestyle in general and enhances spoken English through a joint passion for the game.

Players better understand their game and consider how to continue their career beyond junior level, either at university or senior level. As well as their progress on-court, players leave with new friends from around the world and develop maturity, confidence, and an understanding of new cultures.
