“I learned a ton at Point Guard College. I learned a lot on the court, but I got even more out of the sessions on leadership and confidence. PGC opened my eyes, and I got that love back that I was kind of missing last year. Just being around people who loved the game so much, it got me excited again."—Kristi Toliver, University of Maryland, First-team All-American and Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year.

“I have a daughter who is an enthusiastic graduate of PGC, and I can say without reservation that what they offer is unparalleled in the basketball training industry. If you can attend only one basketball camp this summer, make it Point Guard College. If you can attend five camps this summer, make them all Point Guard College.”—Greg Brittenham, New York Knicks, Assistant Coach (Player Development).

Now, Point Guard College (PGC) is coming to a basketball court near you. And now players—both male and female—can reap the benefits from this intense training program that is regarded by many great players and coaches as “the best basketball training program in America.”

What makes Point Guard College so special? PGC uses classroom sessions, video analysis, and a series of unique, competitive on-court drills and games to teach individual development, smart basketball, and a complete package of leadership skills. That’s why, although most of our participants are high-school athletes, NCAA coaches sent more than 250 of their players—including four All-Americans—to Point Guard College last summer.
