The RYG Athletics Basketball Academy combines classroom and court time to teach athletes (ages 10-14) the leadership, mindset, and basketball skills they need to thrive. The camp features two classroom sessions a day that dive into leadership, mindset, basketball principles of play and film. The twice daily court sessions give athletes the opportunity to immediately put into practice the things they're learning in the classroom in a fun, challenging, and competitive environment. ### The Complete Skills Basketball Camp The Complete Skills Basketball Camp is designed for athletes that are serious about raising their game to the next level. The camp combines court time with leadership and mindset huddles to teach athletes (ages 10-14) the leadership, mindset, and basketball skills they need to thrive. The camp will teach basketball players the skills, habits, and principles of play they need to succeed in middle school and high school. Players will develop through dynamic on-court activities in a fun, challenging, and competitive environment. ### Jr. Basketball Camp The Jr. Basketball Camp  is designed for younger campers (ages 6-9) that want to get better at basketball. Campers receive an introduction to basketball and will learn basic concepts, terminology, and gross motor movements to help improve their skills and confidence.   ## What Parents Say About our Camps...     ## 3-in-1 Development ### Basketball Develop the on-court skills needed to get noticed by coaches and help your team win more games ### Leadership Learn the leadership skills and behaviors needed to become your best and lead your teammates ### Mindset Build a resilient mindset that separates you form the pack and improves your performance [REGISTER](https://rygathletics.com/basketball-camps#register-basketball) ## Don't Let Your Athlete Miss Their Shot Even though young players spend more time than ever before training and playing AAU basketball, many of them never achieve their dreams because they lack basketball IQ, play with poor habits, and lack a resilient mindset. ### They Need to Learn How to Play the Game Differently At RYG, your child will develop a high basketball IQ, special on-court habits, and a resilient mindset so they can make the team, stand out from their peers, help their team win, and become their best. - ![BC8A9997](https://rygathletics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BC8A9997.jpg?width=4464&height=2976&name=BC8A9997.jpg) - ![BC8A0327-1](https://rygathletics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BC8A0327-1.jpg?width=4464&height=2976&name=BC8A0327-1.jpg) - ![BC8A9471](https://rygathletics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BC8A9471.jpg?width=4464&height=2792&name=BC8A9471.jpg) - ![BC8A9404](https://rygathletics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BC8A9404.jpg?width=2477&height=3121&name=BC8A9404.jpg) - ![BC8A0987](https://rygathletics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BC8A0987.jpg?width=4464&height=2976&name=BC8A0987.jpg) - ![BC8A0147](https://rygathletics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BC8A0147.jpg?width=4464&height=2976&name=BC8A0147.jpg) [REGISTER](https://rygathletics.com/basketball-camps#register-basketball) ## What Parents are Saying... > "My son told me **he learned more in the one week he was at basketball camp than he ever did in one season** of playing basketball."  > > > > ![image0 (2)](https://rygathletics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image0%20(2).jpeg?width=95&height=100&name=image0%20(2).jpeg) > > **Heather Sines** > "Both of **my sons loved camp!** You understand the game and **break it down in a way that the players can understand and easily implement** themselves. The leadership and mindset sections were probably my favorite. **So many good things** for young players!" > > > > ![A.Green](https://rygathletics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/A.Green.png?width=94&height=100&name=A.Green.png) > > **Amanda Green** > **"I love the mindset focus** and teaching specific skills to improve his game.

Skill and ability levels will vary from camp to camp, but we commit to finding the right level of difficulty and competition for each player within a session. If your child loves basketball and likes to work hard, they'll love RYG camps!  If they don't love basketball, or they're not motivated to raise their game, then RYG probably isn't the best place for them. What's the ratio of campers to coaches? Each camp is led by a director, then players are split up into baskets by grade, gender, and ability level and paired with a basket coach.  The coach-athlete ratio is between 1/12 and 1/16 for each basket. What's the daily schedule like? Here's an outline of a typical day at camp: - Classroom #1 - 9:00-9:45 - Court #1 - 9:45-11:45 - Lunch - 11:45-12:30 - Classroom #2 - 12:30-1:15 - Court #2 - 1:15-3:30 What does the classroom time consist of? Each dynamic classroom session includes **teaching and film** in 3 areas: 1. Basketball 2. Leadership 3. Mindset What's different about what RYG does on the basketball court? A lot! First, RYG Athletics camps use a Constraints-Led Approach to coaching underpinned by the Ecological Dynamics theoretical framework. In short: We have a WHY behind our WHAT.  Everything we do on court is about developing adaptable skills that actually transfer to the game. Too many camps, clinics, and practices attempt to isolate skills outside of the context they occur in. This isn't how basketball skills are learned or the game is played. We put all our players in games or game-like situations, with offense and defense, that help the skills and habits we're teaching emerge in the way they happen in the game. Why is this camp more expensive than other camps? Great question! There are several reasons our camps are more expensive than many other camps... 1. We maintain a low coach-athlete ratio (between 1/12 and 1/16) 2. We limit the number of athletes at a basketball camp to 64 (lots of other camps take 100+ athletes) 3. We pay our coaches more than other camps. We believe in finding great people and rewarding them for their hard work.  4. We provide a premium camp experience. We spend dedicated time in the classroom teaching the sport and leadership and mindset skills, something very few other camps do. We train our staff and ensure every camp is led by a director who's an expert in their sport and a master teacher.  Is lunch provided? No, lunch is not provided. Athletes will need to bring a sack lunch to eat each day. - [Home](https://rygathletics.com) - [About](https://rygathletics.com/about) - [Contact](https://rygathletics.com/contact) - [Pillars & Core Values](https://rygathletics.com/pillars-and-core-values) - [Basketball Camps](https://rygathletics.com/basketball-camps) - [Football Camps](https://rygathletics.com/nike-football-camp-university-of-arkansas-fayetteville-arkansas) - [Volleyball Camps](https://rygathletics.com/nike-volleyball-camps) - [Basketball Training in NWA](https://rygathletics.com/basketball-training-northwest-arkansas) --- [![RYG Athletics Logo](https://rygathletics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/RYG%20Athletics%20Logos%20-%20Current%20-%20Nov%202024%20-%20No%20BG.png?width=2400&height=1200&name=RYG%20Athletics%20Logos%20-%20Current%20-%20Nov%202024%20-%20No%20BG.png "RYG Athletics Logo")](https://rygathletics.com) 3800 River Bend Dr, Fayetteville, AR 72704 Copyright © 2026, RYG Athletics
