basketball teams. Players without any experience are free to join as well as we do cater for
beginners.

perform well on the court at his or her age.

In Scholar Basketball Academy, we emphasize on the importance of good ball handling, but we do not neglect the other aspects of the game. Advanced
game concepts will also be taught to the players to ensure they continue to develop strong game IQ to think the game.

Q. What do the kids need to bring to camp?
A. Your child will need to be in their sports attire which means t-shirt/jersey and shorts as well as
proper basketball or running shoes (basketball shoes are preferred). They will also need to bring
along a water bottle for hydration purpose. The most important thing the kids need to bring is a
good learning attitude and a willingness to work hard.

Q. Can my child miss a day or half-day during a camp? Will this put them behind?
A. It is not uncommon for kids to occasionally miss a day or have to leave early or arrive late on
some days due to various reasons. We realize that family schedules require flexibility. If they miss
instructions for a new drill or ball-handling move, trainers will pay special attention to them when
executing to bring them back up to speed.

Q. Will there be any pro-rating for the camp if my kids have to miss a day or two?
A. There will be no pro-rating for the camp as the program has been pre-planned.

Q. My child is only 7 or 8 years old. Will this camp be too intense or hard for them?
A. It may be. Our camps are a lot of work. We do have several trainers trained to work with this
young age group. We do not push them as hard as the older age groups. Some kids will move up
with the older kids; most will stay at their age level. There are very few children who cannot meet
the rigors of practice, or who do not have the stamina or physical abilities required.

Q. My child is in high school. Is he/she too old for this camp?
A. We have a lot of high school kids who attend our camps. Most of the drills and teaching
techniques used at the camps are suitable for competition at their age or even at the adult level.
