Question 1

Why does Momentum cost more than other camps?

Accepted Answer

Momentum camps run from a written 100+ page curriculum, with deliberately managed group sizes and a structured five-hour day. Your kid leaves Friday with a coach-personalized take-home plan. The price reflects the substance, and most families who try us once come back the following summer.

Question 2

My kid has never been to a basketball camp. Is this the right fit?

Accepted Answer

Probably yes, especially the Fundamentals Development camp in late August, which is designed as the on-ramp for newer players. Your kid doesn't need to be on a rep team or have prior camp experience. Coaches adapt to the room.

Question 3

Will my kid be too good or not good enough for the camp?

Accepted Answer

Camps are designed to teach and develop, not to crown the best player in the room. Skill mismatch in either direction is fine. High Performance and Girls High Performance both require 2+ years of rep experience; Fundamentals Development is the most accessible. Pick the camp that matches your kid's level.

Question 4

Are the founders involved in coaching?

Accepted Answer

Miki, our co-founder and Technical Director, is hands-on at camps throughout each week. Nem (President) and Marko (Program Director) shape the program but don't lead camp days directly. Day-to-day camps are led by Camp Director Nick, supported by our in-house team of about 10 paid trained coaches who work across our programs.

Question 5

What's the coach-to-camper ratio?

Accepted Answer

Between 1:6 and 1:10, depending on the week, with an average around 1:8. We manage the ratio deliberately rather than letting registration determine it.

Question 6

Is full-day too much for a 10-year-old?

Accepted Answer

It can be a long week, especially for younger kids. The day is structured with built-in snack breaks, lunch, a film review session, and cool-down. We adjust intensity for younger groups. If your 10-year-old has never done a full-day basketball week before, expect them to be tired Friday. That's normal.

Question 7

How much do the kids play versus train?

Accepted Answer

A typical camp day is about 3.5 hours of drill blocks, 1 hour of controlled competitive play, and 30 minutes of film and warmups. The drill blocks themselves include live action and competitive elements; kids don't stand in lines all day. They work hard. They also love competing.

Question 8

What do the kids train in the drill blocks?

Accepted Answer

The curriculum covers core fundamentals (shooting, ball-handling, footwork), applied fundamentals (game-situation training), basketball IQ (decision-making, reading the game), and mental components (confidence, leadership, goal-setting). The specific drill content depends on the camp type and age group.

Question 9

What is the end-of-week take-home plan?

Accepted Answer

Every Momentum camper leaves Friday with a written plan from their coach: priority focus areas to work on, drills with video links to follow at home, and a personal note from their coach. The plan is built during the week through coach observation and a brief assessment. It's designed to extend the camp's development past the five-day window.

Question 10

How do you handle kids who struggle during the week?

Accepted Answer

Each camper gets coach observation and a brief assessment during the week. If your kid is struggling, the coach addresses it directly and often loops you in. The end-of-week take-home plan is built specifically to help kids keep working on the things they need most.

Question 11

Can my kid attend multiple weeks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and most families who do see compounding development. Each week's take-home plan feeds the next week's coach assessment. Register for two weeks and get the third at 50% off, an effective $500 per week on a 3-week bundle.

Question 12

What if my kid can only attend some days, not the full week?

Accepted Answer

Camp pricing is full-week. Before a specified cutoff date, we give preference to families attending the full week. After the cutoff, if spots remain, prorated attendance is sometimes available. Email us to ask.

Question 13

What if a camp is sold out? Will other weeks open?

Accepted Answer

We can sometimes accommodate sold-out interest through cancellations. Email us before you give up on your top week. If your top choice fills, several other weeks of camps run throughout July and August, and we can help you pick a backup that fits your schedule and your kid's level.

Question 14

Is food provided?

Accepted Answer

No. Families provide their own lunch and snacks. We provide all training equipment.

Question 15

How do refunds work if we can't attend?

Accepted Answer

Refunds are issued as credits toward future camps or skills training programs (rep team registrations excluded). Cash refunds are not offered.

Question 16

Is aftercare available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Aftercare is available until 5 PM for summer 2026 camps. You can opt in during registration, where pricing details are listed.

Camps

Most basketball camps fill the day with scrimmages. Momentum's are intentional.
