Midwest Elite Basketball

"My athletes absolutely loved the camp, especially our older players who needed some new voices and some fresh enthusiasm to get their minds right as they entered a new season. The energy the coaches exhibited and their knowledge and love of the game rubbed off on the boys and quite literally set the tone for our year to date."

"The fresh new drills and skills introduced by the MEB coaches were great.  There are a lot of advantages to bringing a camp to your school and MEB met all of my expectations.  The coaches showed great enthusiasm from start to finish!"

"On the pre-camp questionnaire we asked MEB to emphasis shooting and rebounding.  The staff did a great job meeting our needs and also emphasized communication on the floor.  It was really nice for our athletes to see drills and techniques that we use being taught by coaches at a higher level of play.  It re-emphasized to our players that the things we do are for a reason!"

"I absolutely recommend Midwest Elite Basketball.  It was SO NICE to have different voices bring both new things to our program and also re-iterate what we are doing daily."

"The MEB staff worked hard with energy and were great teachers. Our players responded well to the camp. The individual evaluations and action plans give players a well-defined way to work at improving their game."

"My athletes enjoyed the intensity and energy that the MEB staff brought.  The camp was tailored to what we do and was exactly what we wanted.  The coaches had a BIG TIME connection with our kids.  My athletes really took to the staff and had great interaction every day!"

"Our players thought this was the best camp they have attended.  We not only improved our skills but also our team chemistry.  Our camp focused on footwork, shooting, ball-handling, and communication.  The camp brought our team together and built excitement for next season!"

"Midwest Elite Basketball brought the same intensity to the camp that I want the team to play with all the time.  The boys were challenged in their work ethic and also in their skill development.  There was never any down time or wasted time.  We were able to have more boys go to the camp since it was in our own gym.  The camp was definitely worth it."

"We benefitted from all aspects of the camp. Communication, ball-handling and an "attack-mindset" were all improved individually and as a team.  The MEB coaching staff cared about forming relationships with our kids and sharing their passion for basketball."

"My players had fun and learned a lot. The player development and station work was great. Also liked the 4-out work as it was right on the money with the things we do. The staff was professional, energetic, and very patient with our younger guys."

"The camp is perfect. My athletes loved it. I'm not kidding, all of it! I absolutely recommend Midwest Elite Basketball."

"The camp kicked my players butts! BUT, my athletes liked the coaches, liked the drills, and HAD FUN!  The individual testing, jump shot evaluation and individual attention were all great, but I really liked that in a short period of time the MEB coaches were able to instill leadership qualities in my athletes!"

"Our players responded in a very positive way to the instruction.  They liked the up-tempo teaching.  The players heard much of the same thing from different coaches, sometimes that's what it takes for it to sink in.  The instruction was tailored to our program and the way we want to do things."

"The MEB camp instructors were very vocal and this led to a more intense camp. They did a great job of focusing the camp specifically on the improvement areas we requested. Overall, I rate this camp as an A+ as the kids learned a lot in just a short period of time."

"I really liked all the fundamental things that were covered in the camp. From post move breakdowns, ball-handling, shooting, and learning how to read screens, these are the things that get neglected during the season. I saw improvements by each player and my team was more vocal and communicated better as a result of the camp.The MEB camp instructors were very vocal and this led to a more intense camp. They did a great job of focusing the camp specifically on the improvement areas we requested. Overall, I rate this camp as an A+ as the kids learned a lot in just a short period of time."

"My athletes loved the camp.  They loved being pushed to levels they didn't know they had! The MEB staff got the most out of them each day.  The individual drills and the full-court team drills were all very beneficial.  Yes, we recommend MEB...but we don't want other schools to know our secret weapon!"

"We have had Midwest Elite Basketball come in and work with our program every year since they started over 5 years ago. My players really enjoy the camp and learn a lot about the game. The instructors make my players talk which is very important for the game. The MEB staff gets their instruction across to the athletes in a positive and effective manner."

"I like how there was almost no down time for the kids. Every player was doing something productive all the time. My players loved it, it’s nice for them to hear things from college coaches. I thought this was one of the best day camps I have ever witnessed at a very affordable price! The coaches were professional, educated, and energetic."

"MEB ran a very good camp. Our younger athletes really benefitted from it and showed immediate improvement. The individual skill development was important and beneficial."

"Our players found the instruction to be very helpful and the energy level of the coaches to be very engaging. The focus on technique and footwork was outstanding! Our players were amazed at the detailed instruction they were provided. The instruction focused on exactly what I requested. Skilled and experienced coaches did an excellent job with the kids. They took the time to learn their names. I wish we had the chance to have this camp every week!"

"The majority of our players felt that the camp was very competitive and stressed them both physically and mentally. The portion of the camp that was most beneficial was the defensive drills that were introduced. I think our team will be a lot stronger on the defensive end after incorporating these drills. It was great for my players to hear concepts and drills from coaches other than myself!"

"I saw our posts improve their perimeter game and our guards improve their post game almost immediately following the camp. They all improved their jump shots and enjoyed the camp and the way they were approached. MEB took my input and put it into the curriculum. It showed my athletes what college coaches would expect out of them."

"This is exactly what players need. Today, most kids only play games, this camp gets them focused on improving individual basketball. Coaching staff was TREMENDOUS! They were enthusiastic and professional. The camp included a great mix of stations, full-court drills, and competition."

"My athletes enjoyed the camp and everyone took something home to work on the rest of the summer. They liked the personal attention they received from the Midwest Elite Coaches. I enjoyed all of the camp - it focused on shooting, screening, offense, defense, communication on the court - the whole package!"

"It is always good to have athletes hear what we have been coaching, but hear it from college coaches. I thought the transition defensive work was most beneficial. The camp was well worth the cost. Campers worked extremely hard and there was not much down time."

"I definitely recommend Midwest Elite Basketball. Their staff was the difference between a good experience and a great experience. Their enthusiasm and passion for the game of basketball was evident in each practice session. They developed a great rapport with our players and in return, earned their trust and effort."

"The camp was very well run with a variety of drills that focused on staple fundamentals that needed to be emphasized for both the perimeter and post players. The staff was very knowledgeable about the game and encouraged the players to strive to reach their full potential; best thing we could have done for our team going into next season."

"The MEB coaches did a good job communicating with me and catering the camp to fit our system. The camp was run efficiently and was a big benefit to our program. The coaches interacted well with our players who felt the camp was worthwhile in building our team for the next year."

"My players felt the camp was extremely beneficial. Most were expecting a typical "camp" but were surprised and excited about the curriculum that was taught by the camp staff." 

"I was very pleased with the camp; the coaches were enthusiastic and knowledgeable, they worked the kids hard and pushed them with lots of 1 on 1 instruction and communication. It was a great experience for our kids." 

"My athletes really liked the camp and made great progress in many aspects of their game; the defensive portions of the camp were very beneficial to our program." 

"Midwest Elite Basketball came in and did a tremendous job for our program. The clinicians were very knowledgeable and really knew how to relate to my student-athletes. The MEB organization is professional, organized, and willing to develop curriculum that centers on YOUR program. MEB will continue to be a part of our off-season for years to come!" 

"I loved bringing MEB to our school because they brought a new energy to my teaching of the game. My players enjoyed learning more about the game and the camp length pushed players to limits which were very positive."

"My players thought it was a good camp - the individual sessions were good for skill development. The coaches were energetic, friendly, and positive." 

"My players thought the MEB camp was the best that they have attended. I thought it was great having college coaches teach the same philosophies that I do on a daily basis - hearing the information from another source was very beneficial." 

"The camp and clinicians were very professional and they got along well with the kids. The camp was intense, yet fun - I was very pleased." 

"Excellent camp - we have brought in MEB the past 4 years and plan on continuing our relationship for years to come." 

"My players felt the camp was very good. The kids worked hard and responded in a positive manner. They not only had fun but they also learned a lot. The post defense drills and point guard development stations were very beneficial."

"I liked how the MEB staff taught individual 1-on-1 skills by breaking down the concepts and explaining them thoroughly. My players enjoyed the camp and the intensity. Each individual drill effectively led right into a team drill. I recommend MEB."

"All players that attended camp, young and old, had nothing but good things to say, the camp was both instructional and fun. The Player Evaluation Notebooks were very beneficial: from shooting, to footwork, to lifting numbers, this evaluation made our players realize what they need to do to get better. The MEB coaches have passion and energy and they love what they do! It rubs off on everyone!"

"The camp was specifically tailored to our team and Midwest Elite Basketball reinforced many of the same concepts I teach during the camp. The staff taught a lot of good individual skill work. My athletes thought the camp was very positive and thought it was beneficial to work at multiple positions - posts working on perimeter skills and perimeters working in the post."

"My players loved the camp. I feel like the individual station work was most beneficial. I thought my players responded great to the MEB coaching staff's enthusiasm and knowledge of the game. My players now know how hard they have to work to get better."

"The individual skills portion and transition offense taught to my players were great! I was very happy with the camp. The staff did a great job working with athletes of all skill levels in the same setting. I look forward to bringing in Midwest Elite Basketball for years to come."

"GREAT CAMP - The MEB staff got the best out of our girls.  Most thought it was the best camp they have ever attended.  The breakdown drills in 4 stations were beneficial - a lot of reps doing the right things.  It also gave my athletes things to do on their own after camp."

"The camp coaches knew every campers' name within the first 10 minutes.  Our girls asked if MEB could come back every summer.  You can tell the coaches had played and coached at the college level, the individual instruction was incredibly beneficial."

"The MEB staff does a great job of packing valuable basketball concepts into their camps. Our girls were schooled in all fundamentals of the game. They learned several advanced ideas to use both offensively and defensively to help them become better, more well-rounded players. Our kids enjoyed learning some new ideas, moves, and drills over the course of the camp. Our kids were pushed by the MEB staff to work hard and focus over the course of the camp. I am sure that this camp will only help our basketball team in having a successful season next winter."

"I definitely recommend Midwest Elite Basketball.  Over three days the MEB coaches not only stressed fundamentals but also work ethic, intensity, toughness, and team work.  The camp really got my athletes excited for the season!"

"Most enjoyed the camp very much.  The coaches kept up a good pace and used a variety of drills.  The camp is excellent value for the cost."

"The camp coaches matched the curriculum with our style of play, it was incredibly beneficial.  The coaches were extremely energetic and it was easy to see their passion for the game of basketball."

"My players were very pleased with the camp. The camp curriculum focused on the specific needs of my program. Would like to do it again next year."

"Our girls were really happy with the camp, before the camp was over they were asking if we could do it again next year! I really liked the way the coaches worked with the girls; it was a good mix of demanding, encouraging, and patiently teaching. The camp was full of enthusiasm and energy."

"The instructional breakdown during the drills and the constant stressing of the importance of communication was very beneficial. Every aspect of the camp was essential to our team's development! Improvements were emphatically made by our athletes from the first day through the last."

"My athletes enjoyed the camp and learned several things that they can apply to their game through the fundamental skill development. From a team perspective the camp addressed our areas of need!"

"Great Coaches! They learned the names of 30 girls before the end of the 1st day of camp. My players loved the camp; it was perfectly designed to fit our program and needs. I recommend MEB to struggling and strong programs alike as it is beneficial for all teams!"

"Loved it! Something new learned in every drill.  No one ever stood around, we were always doing something. Staff was very energetic.  The communication with the MEB coaches prior to camp eliminated any wasted time.  I've brought in MEB for many summer and each camp has been individually tailored to my team.  MEB camps make my girls comfortable in their own gym and that leads to better skill development and retainment."

"I saw improvements by different kids every day and you could see they were excited to make a few changes that made them better. Overall, I thought the camp was great, it really reiterated what I have been doing with our athletes the last couple years."

"Videotaping and showing the athletes their jump shots along with the advanced post-skill work were both incredibly beneficial. The curriculum was very good and worked well if you were an incoming freshman or a varsity player.  The staff demonstrations were great!"

"The MEB coaches were very patient with all my players and really worked to format the camp to our needs as a team. The station work was great as the coaches broke down drills for the kids and focused on the fundamentals. I loved how they would stop a drill to correct an athlete instead of allowing them to do it incorrectly. My athletes enjoyed the coaches and felt challenged, yet encouraged!"

"All of my players said that they really enjoyed the camp and want to have Midwest Elite Basketball come back next summer! The entire camp was beneficial to our players development. I saw a huge increase in my key players abilities and can't wait to see them on the court next season!"

"My team loved the camp. They all agreed that they learned new skills, old skills were reinforced, and each day was fun. The focus of fundamental skills that were incorporated in the position-specific shooting drills were positive. The curriculum MEB designed was specific to my program and was very beneficial."

"My players liked the instruction. They wished all of their teammates attended as those who didn't missed out! The teaching of screening, moving without the basketball, and importance of communication and chemistry as a team was very beneficial to my program. The player evaluation notebooks are great. Players feel the individual attention the coaches gave them. The coaches knew everyone by their 1st name, that was important!"

"The camp was non-stop learning for our players.  The staff made the camp enjoyable and meaningful for our kids.  We saw improvements individually and collectively as a team in the three-day camp."

"I loved the awarding of a Defensive Player of the Day shirt to campers as it really stressed hard work to the campers. The camp worked on many of the things we struggle on in games. The coaches kept the camp live and active and built a positive relationship with my players."

"The teaching methods were progressive - easy to grasp. The fact that our girls were able to stay at home and shoot in our "home" gym was beneficial. The MEB staff were good teachers who showed great energy; the honest and upfront assessments of each camper were valuable."

"The structure of the camp improved our weaker players and made our better players stronger. All this provided by outside experts in our own gym! I recommend MEB but only to teams on the other side of the river".

"I really appreciated the way the MEB staff treated the girls and showed interest in them as individuals, rather than looking at them as numbers. The girls considered the camp positive and valuable."

"The MEB coaches are top notch and very professional. I have been coaching Girls Basketball for 20 years and I can honestly say this is the best camp for the money. The camp was very positive and professionally organized and my girls responded well. I look forward to having Midwest Elite Basketball back at St. Paul H.S. next summer."

"My girls loved the camp and they loved the coaches. The stationary work and individual development was very beneficial to our program. The girls all seemed to work hard and enjoyed the drills they were put through. I recommend Midwest Elite Basketball."

"Most of my players felt the camp was beneficial; it reinforced many of the same things I teach on a daily basis. The scheduling process was organized and flexible around my program."

"My players really enjoyed the camp and working on the advanced fundamentals that the MEB staff taught was what our team needed. The jump shot analysis was very beneficial to our program. I liked the format for the time available and the MEB coaches made it fun for my team."

"The videotaping and one-on-one evaluations were great. I also liked how the MEB staff implemented different things that my staff wanted to see by using our players. The footwork teaching was very good and was emphasized in all drills. We will be seeing Midwest Elite Basketball again next summer!"

"My players felt the camp helped them focus on the basic of the game which improved their individual and team game. Overall, the transition drills seemed to be most beneficial and helped our players understand proper spacing, timing, and decision-making on the floor. The scheduling, staffing and choice of drills flowed really well! I would recommend MEB to any coach looking to help their team improve over the summer months."

"Midwest Elite Basketball did a great job of hosting the 3-day camp at our school! My girls really enjoyed the camp and what was being taught to them. The individual skill develop was beneficial for our program at Sergeant Bluff-Luton!"

"The MEB staff tailored the camp to help us improve on our team weaknesses. My players enjoyed the camp, senior campers would even want to come back after they graduate! I feel that input from college level coaches was great for our kids."

"There were many great things about MEB that benefitted our program. The camp came to OUR gym, worked with only OUR players, and focused on OUR system. This is a camp for any team that is looking for an edge in the upcoming season and into the future. We're looking forward to next summer when they can make the long trip up north to Grand Marais, Minnesota again."
