Girls basketball camp at IMG Academy

IMG Academy girls basketball camps feature skill-level specific group sessions as well as small-group training led by expert coaches with collegiate and WNBA experience. Campers will focus on the same drills and strategic instruction leveraged by IMG’s world-renowned boarding school program.

Camp programs include on-court group sessions that focus on shooting, dribbling, defense, and more. All basketball campers will receive a post-camp analysis report inclusive of coach feedback and comprehensive metrics.

Training for every position and skill

Depending on your position, here are just some of the skills you will learn from our expert coaches:

Advanced techniques

Year-round performance and world-class amenities

While youth athletes need time to rest, recover, and rejuvenate both physically and mentally, elite girls basketball players know that champions are made in the off-season. IMG Academy’s girls basketball camps give young athletes the chance to make a full commitment and get the most out of the off-season.

We offer both day and overnight summer girls basketball camps year round as well as special rates for teams and groups who want to book together. Sleepaway basketball camp gives young athletes the opportunity to board in Ascender Residence Halls with access to campus amenities 24/7 and a full team of residential mentors. This ensures campers get both the training and the rest they need.

A perfect option for local girls basketball campers or for families on vacation in the Sarasota and Bradenton area, many on and off-campus housing options are available for adults and families, including the Legacy Hotel, The Lodge, Academy Park Villas, Ritz-Carlton, Holiday Inn Express and Suites and more, including beachfront resorts.
