The Future is Yours camp is underway

Night one of The Future is Yours is starting off the way you may expect at this point: with fire.

At The Basketball Movement, things are always done in the same gear. We pack the most into every athlete’s time with us by going full throttle at all times. Whether it is group drills mirroring in-game scenarios or doing some 1-on-1 king of the court, the intensity and clear emphasis on competition remain.

This is not The Basketball Movement Invitational - our camp for elite high school talent. The Future is Yours is a camp for middle school - 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade players. Do not think for a second this means players won’t be pushed to the limit.

We don’t discriminate. If you lace up and step on our courts, you are a hooper and we will treat you like we treat all hoopers. We will work you hard and make sure that you are put in positions to get better. We are excited to get started.

Night one begins with some 3-on-3 and 4-on-4 game action and competitive drills to determine who is here to bring the fire and who isn’t. We will use that info when forming teams for games later in the weekend.

The highlights of the night will be a 3-point competition and king of the court games. Much like it does at our high school camp, we anticipate king of the court establishing rivalries, expectations, and the tone for the whole weekend. This 1-on-1 drill has become a favorite at The Basketball Movement.

We already have players stepping up to the plate, naming guys they want a piece of. This is going to be good.

We will be keeping you updated with competition winners and standouts and will be filling our social media platforms up with photos and highlights from all the action. Stay tuned!

Are we missing someone? If you do not see a name that deserves to be here, it is because we simply do not know the player. There are several who have already scheduled workouts with us that we have added to our list after seeing what they can do.

Contact The Basketball Movement to set something up and prove us wrong for not knowing the name. You need to hurry, as we are just over a week away from kicking things off.

Camp Schedule

Friday: Collect gear, take photos, skill competitions/3-Point contest - 7:00-10:00pm

Saturday: Skill development drills, game-situation readiness - 12:00-2:00pm

Break

Evening games - 5:00-8:00pm

Sunday: Drills/scrimmages, afternoon games - 8:00am-2:00pm

Our media team will be on-site capturing footage in addition to taking high-quality headshots and other images. This is a prime opportunity for hungry young players to gain recognition and begin establishing themselves as elite hoopers.

The weekend will be serious fun. Again, for any additional information, please email us and we will get with you as soon as possible. See you there!

The Future is Yours Camp

The Basketball Movement presents “The Future is Yours” - an invitational camp for 6th-8th grade boys that are serious about the game.

The Future is Yours in an invite-only camp March 26-28th for 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade boys that have a desire to be elite. Essentially an extension of The Basketball Movement Invitational for high school players, The Future is Yours is a chance for up-and-comers to not only step up their game but make themselves known early.

“Your greatest rival is yourself,” says Robert Yanders, Founder of The Basketball Movement. “We are creating this camp to help elevate young players and help them realize their potential. So much of the game is mental. If these young guys can overcome the hurdle that is themselves, fight through the pain, and overcome, then a star is born.”

Yanders has a storied history of producing star players in his facility and seems to possess the recipe for helping players achieve their goals on-and-off the hardwood.

As mentioned, the camp will be invite-only, as it is intended to take established players and polish them to help them realize just what they are capable of. Iron sharpens iron after all. Names of the invitees will be coming soon.

If you or your athlete feel that a spot in this camp is deserved, take action, as the end of the month is quickly approaching. Email basketballmovement.com to set up a workout and we will let you know afterward if we think the camp is a good fit.

The camp will be serious fun. This is not a basics camp, but one for those that truly have a desire and the will to improve.

The Future is Yours will feature a 3-Point Contest, shooting work, small games, and live games each night with officials, scoreboards, and a real game atmosphere. The Basketball Movement is modeled after NBA facilities and will make athletes feel like pros. Our film crew, writer, and social media team will be in attendance to help the deserving gain exposure and valuable game film and images. Jordan Brand tops, bottoms, and shoes will be provided.

Invitees do not want to miss this. Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook as the names drop shortly. Remember that if we do not yet know your name, let us know and we will see what you are made of. Stay tuned!
