2024 Urban Blues Basketball Camp with Coach Joe Skiffer

This is your child's chance to build skills and learn from one of San Francisco's best-known championship-winning coaches.

Join Coach Joe Skiffer and members of Urban’s Blues basketball team for a fast-paced, skills-based, summer camp for students entering 5th-8th grade in Fall 2024. Young players of all genders will learn the following:

  • Mornings are devoted to offensive skills enhancement with emphasis on shooting, dribbling, footwork and player work without the ball. Defensive concepts include emphasis on floor position, defending the ball, talk and footwork.
  • Afternoons will focus on competition and games and learning to be a teammate.
  • Player behavior and positive attitudes on and off the court.

Student athletes will receive an Urban Blues Basketball Camp t-shirt.
