Agenda

🕑: 08:00 AM - 08:30 AM
Sign-In/Intro: Opening Devotion

Info: We begin each Discipleship Hoops Basketball Camp with a powerful opening devotion to set the tone for the day. This time of reflection and encouragement reminds players that success starts from the inside out—with faith, discipline, and perseverance. Through scripture, prayer, and real-life lessons, we inspire athletes to play with purpose, trust the process, and honor God in their journey. It’s more than basketball—it’s about building character, strengthening faith, and growing as leaders on and off the court. ??


🕑: 08:30 AM - 09:00 AM
Session 1: Ball Handling/Dribbling

Info: This session focuses on building a strong foundation in ball handling and dribbling—the key to becoming a confident and controlled player. Players will learn how to keep the ball on a string, improve hand speed, and develop court awareness through fundamental drills, advanced techniques, and live ball-movement exercises.

? What’s Covered:
✅ Proper stance, grip, and control
✅ Stationary and on-the-move dribbling drills
✅ Change-of-pace and direction techniques
✅ Handling defensive pressure with confidence

By the end of this session, players will leave with improved ball control, better decision-making, and the confidence to attack any defense. Great players don’t just dribble—they control the game! ??


🕑: 09:00 AM - 09:30 AM
Water/Devotion 2

Info: In basketball and in life, challenges will come—but how we respond defines us. Devotion #2 focuses on perseverance, faith, and trusting God through tough moments. Using scripture and real-life examples, we encourage players to stay strong, push past obstacles, and keep their eyes on their goals. Just like in the game, success comes to those who work hard, stay faithful, and never give up!


🕑: 09:30 AM - 10:00 AM
Footwork/Proper Defense

Info: Great defense starts with great footwork! In this session, players will develop the fundamentals needed to stay in front of their opponent, react quickly, and control the game without the ball.

? What’s Covered:
✅ Defensive stance & lateral movement
✅ Agility & reaction drills
✅ Closeouts & on-ball defense techniques
✅ Proper foot positioning for offensive moves

Mastering footwork leads to better defense, quicker moves, and smarter plays—essential skills for any elite player!


🕑: 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM
Water/Devotion #3

Info: Just like in basketball, how we finish in life matters. Devotion #3 focuses on giving our best effort, staying faithful, and pushing through to the end—even when we’re tired or challenged. Through scripture and encouragement, we remind players that God calls us to persevere, trust His plan, and finish every task with excellence. Whether on the court or in life, true champions never quit—they rise and keep going!


🕑: 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM
Proper Shooting Techniques/Live Game Competitions

Info: Shooting is more than just putting the ball in the hoop—it’s about precision, consistency, and confidence. In this session, players will refine their shooting form, focusing on balance, follow-through, and shot mechanics to become more accurate and efficient scorers.

? What’s Covered:
✅ BEEF (Balance, Eyes, Elbow, Follow-Through) fundamentals
✅ Catch-and-shoot & off-the-dribble shooting
✅ Range-building & shot selection

? Live 3-on-3 & 5-on-5 Games
Players will put their skills to the test in real-game situations, applying what they’ve learned in a competitive, high-energy environment. This is where training meets execution—learning to make the right decisions under pressure!


🕑: 11:45 AM - 12:00 PM
Closing Devotion

Info: As we wrap up camp, our closing devotion reminds players that basketball is more than a game—it’s a journey of faith, growth, and perseverance. We reflect on lessons learned, celebrate progress, and encourage players to carry their work ethic, discipline, and trust in God beyond the court. No matter the challenges ahead, with faith and determination, they are built for success!
