    PGC Basketball Camps:
    PGC is where serious players train in the off-season. We teach players to think the game at a college and pro level and become leaders both on and off the court.
    Thousands of players from middle school to college attend a PGC camp each year. Our camps are specialized for players at every level of the game, so no matter what level you play at right now, PGC will help you reach the next level.
    We teach the game, not a group of skills specific to one position. Any player will benefit from a PGC camp - regardless of their position or skill level - as long as they are truly eager to learn the game.
    More than 95,000 serious basketball players have trained with PGC in the off-season, and it’s where top NBA and college coaches send their own kids to learn to think the game.

    i think when being a smaller point guard like i am, you have to force the defense to always be on kind of that confused state while also not hesitating I struggle sometimes getting through and moving the ball quickly enough for my team to get the ball in the basket it all really just comes down to how well you work in under pressure and always going in your own pace not the defenders pace.

    • @michaelbenjamin504
      @michaelbenjamin504 Před 3 měsíci

      Have a rule... you pass, you cut. Call the paint the decision box. Once you pass, go to the decision box and reset to the open space on the perimeter.

    Can you elaborate on the shoulder/arm read versus chest read please? Great content 🔥🔥🔥

    • @vinuzo9548
      @vinuzo9548 Před 3 lety +18

      The chest read means the defender has slid all the way over, with the intention of drawing a charge. The shoulder read means the defender is only trying to get a steal or an easy block, whilst also trying to play the passing lane.

    • @PGC_Basketball
      @PGC_Basketball  Před 3 lety +29

      Thanks @Gregory! Matt's point on the chest/shoulder read would be this: If you see shoulder (or arm/hand/etc.), don't give the ball up. Continue to attack and force multiple defenders to rotate/help. When you see a defender's chest, that's when you know it's time to do something different (pick up your dribble, use fakes, pass, shoot, etc.). Too many players don't understand this simple concept, and they pass the ball immediately when they see shoulder.

    @mrboo3049 Před 4 měsíci

    I'm a bigman. Mostly I play the #4 and #5 position. And there are times I'm the one that's been creating some plays to my teammates and my point guard respects that. What I'm doing is I'm creating plays when I'm in the LOW POST. I'm waiting for great cutters especially when the defense collapses. If not I can go 1on1 in the POST to score.

      sitting corner can be good at times, but if the defender won't leave you, don't be afraid to move around and create space. the more people running around on offense, the harder it is for the defense
