LuHi’s Boys Basketball program combines competitive team play and individualized skill-building to help players of all ages and levels work on their game. Campers are placed on a team based on their age and ability level. Each morning, they work with their coaches on new skills, shooting drills, and individualized instruction. In the afternoon, they put their skills to the test in a tournament-style competition. Under the mentorship of the coaches, alumni, and players from the nationally ranked LuHi Boys Varsity Basketball Team, campers work each session not only on dribbling, shooting, and passing, but on their coachability, sportsmanship, and character.
