For the past two summers Coach Smalling has built Advantage Basketball into one of the most prestigious camps in the country. Last year, five of our Junior National players, and nine players that have played for team Ontario were in attendance at the camps.

What is good about Advantage Basketball Training Camps is the fact that we consider all our campers to be a part of the Advantage family. Also we run our training camps like a college practice. We’re trying to simulate the intensity of a college practice; we expose the campers to what it’s like at the next level as far as pace of the drill, instruction, the need to be good listeners and communicators. At are camps we have some of the top players in the country and that enhances the competition which will help them as well.

 

We tell them, Advantage training may be different from what you are taught at your high schools, primary schools, or club teams. Different doesn’t mean better. Different is different. We expose them to some different techniques. For the past two summers Coach Smalling has built Advantage Basketball into one of the most prestigious camps in the country.
