Has anyone ever sent their kid to PG College? If so would you recommend it?

I've heard good things about it. Never sent my kid there though.

I have sent mine to the Essentials camp (which is the prerequisite for Point Guard Camp) and to PG Camp. It is probably one of the best around in it's approach to teaching the game. It is not cheap, and if your just looking for a camp to go to, probably not the one. If your child has a LOVE for the game (really makes a difference) they will come back talking about it non stop and you won't be able to keep them out of the gym. The instructors are top notch and the experience has been a good one of us. Best of luck:thumb:

All different times and places..Google PG College..

just a brief over view for those not familiar. The reason that I think they are so different then other camps, is they teach the game. They don't throw the ball on the court and say play, and they don't just do skill work. They watch film and break it down, they talk situational basketball, and spend about 2-3 hours a day in the class room listening to teaching and taking notes. Like I said, I think they do the best job, I have seen (and I have helped and been to a lot), of teaching the game outside of the normal skills and drills.

 

They are all over the country and at different times, we went to the one at Anderson College, nice place and great facilities. Again, I would say, if your kid is serious about honing their game it is a great camp.....just get ready to loosen the wallet:lol2:

I thought that's what they refer to UK as now.

If you send someone they better be serious about learning the game. Like said above they have classroom time during every season that breaks down film. They teach some really good things. It is expensive and they are spread across the country.

Who are the instructors?

After Dick’s passing, his protégé, Dena Evans, picked up the mantle and single-handedly led all of the Point Guard College sessions for the next six years. Dena had been named the Best Point Guard in America as a senior at the University of Virginia, and was later recognized as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Silver Anniversary All-Star team. Geno Auriemma, the Basketball Hall of Fame women’s basketball coach from the University of Connecticut, said, “The first time I saw Dena play, I was amazed at how intelligent she was with and without the ball. Having the skills is one thing, and Dena had them all. But knowing how to use those skills is the key, and that’s what separated Dena from all the rest.”

 

After taking over for Dick DeVenzio, Dena traveled the length and breadth of the United States, presenting 13 or more Point Guard College programs each summer. In her teaching, Dena remained faithful to the legacy that she had inherited from Coach DeVenzio, continuing to present the principles that she had learned from her mentor.
