CAMP CANCELED for 2020
This is a 3 day basketball camp in Spokane, Washington that will teach you the essential skills, techniques, habits, IQ and drills to become an elite player (to develop an elite mindset, which is what truly separates players.).
What will players get out of the camp?
You will learn what it takes to play at the elite level. Becoming an individual that can help your team succeed and understands the importance of the little things.
You will improve your ball handling, shooting, passing, athleticism, decision-making, leadership skills, and scoring.
Our Breakthrough Staff has trained some of the best players in the world that have gone on to become Olympic Gold Medalists, NBA All-Stars, WNBA All-Stars, Elite College Players (Michigan State, Duke, Kentucky – to name a few), and Numerous Player of the Year Awards at the high school level.
And you will learn the subtle and sometimes unnoticeable things that are taught to and used by the world’s best players; players like Steph Curry, Maya Moore, Russell Westbrook, Diana Taurasi, Damian Lillard, Chris Paul, Kyrie Irving, and others.
Who is this for? Is this good for players who are NOT guards?
This is NOT for beginners. This is for intermediate to advanced players looking to be placed in a high-intensity environment with competitive drills. The camp is for players who already possess some good dribble moves and are looking to take their game to the next level.
This is certainly not limited to guards. Every coach would love to have 5 players on the floor with the skills, decision-making, and leadership of elite guards.
So if you are a wing player or a post player who is serious about elevating your game to the next level, this camp would be great for you as well.
Here are a few things that you will learn at the camp:
Develop an explosive first step
This is probably one of the most important aspects of being an elite guard, but it is rarely broken down and taught properly. Learn about the proper shin angle, head position, shoulder position, and hip position.
Develop superior hand-eye coordination and feel for the ball
In this camp, you will be challenged with advanced hand-eye coordination and dribbling drills that will challenge you and accelerate your feel for the basketball. These drills will make dribbling during game situations feel easy.
How to handle game situations like Chris Paul & Steph Curry
Chris Paul and Steph Curry are two of the smartest players currently in the NBA. We have studied the games of these guards and will show tactics and little tricks that these elite guards use during games.
For example, whenever Chris Paul and Steph Curry face a switch on a ball screen and they get a bigger slower defender on them, they almost always take two big dribbles backwards to create space and give them room to get forward momentum to attack the bigger, slower defender. Little tips like these will take you from being a good guard to an elite guard.
You will learn how they handle ball screens, fast break situations, double teams, and aggressive pressure.
Get to the next level by improving the lost art of passing.
Not only will you learn advanced dribbling drills that will be extremely challenging, we will also introduce passing drills that will make you a much better passer in game-like situations. We will teach how to pass against pressure, how to read the defense and find the open guy, how to pass in transition, how to pass against double teams, and how to pass into the post.
If you can handle the ball and make great passes, every coach will find a place for you on their team.
How to play great defense and lock down your opponent like Kawhi Leonard by learning the strategies he uses
You will learn how to properly move on the floor so you can make things much more difficult for your opponents. If you can focus on defense, stop your opponent from scoring, you will get playing time because your coach can’t afford to keep you off the floor. You will learn proper body position when guarding the ball, how to dictate what the offense does, and how to force them into low percentage scoring situation. We will teach you how to adapt to all of the different kinds of scoring guards to put the advantage back in your hands.
Video Breakdown Analysis of Elite Players
You will get to see video breakdown analysis of some of the best basketball players in the world. You will see how they execute certain skills and make decisions on the basketball floor, so you apply it to your practice sessions to elevate to an even higher level of play.
Shooting, scoring, and advanced dribble moves
In addition, we will practice game-like shooting drills, scoring from the guard position, and advanced dribble moves that all great guards possess.
Leadership and Life Skills that LeBron James uses to help his teammates develop a championship mindset
In addition to teaching you the necessary physical and mental skills to be a great guard, we will teach you leadership and life skills that will make you a successful human being. We will teach you traits that some of the best players have, why that makes them successful, and how these same traits will help you be successful in life.
We will also teach you traits from some of the most successful people outside of the basketball world that will make you successful in the real world in any career path you may choose.
No matter how far you make in the athletic world, there is always life after basketball.
Who can attend?
The camp is for male and female players from 7th to 12th grade.
This is not limited to guards. If you’re a wing player or a post player who is serious about elevating your game to the next level, this camp would be great for you as well.
This camp is NOT for beginners. This is for intermediate to advanced players looking to be placed in a high-intensity environment with competitive drills. This is for players who already possess some good dribble moves and are looking to take their game to the next level.
Coaches that want to learn and pick up new drills can also observe for a fee (coaches can find more info below).

We’re pleased to announce that we have arranged for Don Kelbick to come to Spokane, Washington to run a 3-day skill development camp, teaching players and coaches the same skills and strategies that he used with pro players like Joe Johnson, Raja Bell, Bruce Bowen, Carlos Arroyo, and dozens of other NBA and European players.
This camp uses the Attack & Counter Skill Development System to help you develop the KEY skills that you need to become a great basketball player.
You will learn the same critical and universal skills that Don teaches to NBA players. These fundamental skills are universal for all levels. They will help you no matter what defense or offense you use. That’s the great thing about fundamentals. They help you in all situations. Here’s a brief summary of the skills and topics that will be covered…
Footwork
You will learn how to improve your footwork. This is probably the most under-practiced, misunderstood, and most important skill of all. You will learn how to practice footwork in a completely new (and simpler) way. You’ll also learn how footwork carries over into games and how it makes you better.
Mentality
During the camp, players will learn Don’s Attack and Counter Strategy. As the name implies, this system encourages an aggressive mentality. Players will learn important mental aspects of the game including aggressiveness, building confidence, reducing the fear of failure, shooting mentality, work ethic, how to be mentally tough, more focused, and get an edge on the competition.
Post Moves and Finishing Inside
Learn the proper footwork, mentality, and strategies to score in the post and various situations near the basket. This applies to both guard and post players. There is a heavy emphasis on footwork and you’ll learn how to become a more dominate scorer inside.
Guard Play
You will learn how the Attack and Counter Fundamentals allow you to easily beat defenders off the dribble, create space for your shot, and score off the dribble. This allows you to create space, make good decisions, and get your shot off when you want.
Ball handling
Learn how to improve your ball-handling skills — this includes dribbling, passing, decision making, and reducing turnovers.
Fast Break Skills
Learn proper footwork in fast break situations and improve your ability to score in transition. You’ll improve footwork, mentality, and ability to score on the run.
Shooting
Learn how to improve your footwork and mentality to increase your shooting percentage. Through high rep shooting drills, Don will teach you how to be more consistent and effective with your feet, how to be more confident, how to be mentally tough, and how to become a better shooter.
Screening and Cutting – Getting Open
Learn how to move without the ball and get open so you can score more points. Don will teach you proper footwork and concepts when using screens and cutting. No matter what team you play for, learning how to read screens and move without the ball will help you get more easy scoring opportunities. This is an important skill for all players to learn. Don will teach you how to move without the ball, get open for easy shots, and score on the move.
As you can see, this clinic focuses heavily on footwork and mentality, which we believe are the two most important aspects to becoming a better player.
We promise that players and coaches will learn dozens of new tips and techniques that will make them better. Don’s methods are very simple, yet unique. You just won’t get this stuff in other places.
It’s all about helping you develop the KEY skills that you need to become a great basketball player.
Format of the Camp
You will learn these fundamental skills by participating in a “Show and Go” format…
Show – During the camp Don Kelbick (NBA development coach) will show you the key drills and the skills you need to work on. He will explain and demonstrate the key details of each specific skill to the entire group. He will teach you the skills, strategies, and concepts. He’ll show the “little things” that are important.
Go – Then you’ll break off into groups to work with designated coaches in your area. There will be other coaches helping you with break down drills. Don will also walk around working with players and coaches at this time. You will work hard at practicing the new skill and learning how to incorporate the skill into games.
This will be repeated throughout most of the camp as we introduce new skills and concepts.
We will run lots of drills and players will get lots of repetitions. You’ll get LOTS of touches with the ball and it will be fast paced.
After skills are practiced, we will also put players in competitive break down drills. This allows players to apply and refine their newly-learned skills. Most of the competitive break downs are lots of fun, but they are different (and we believe more effective) than the standard 5-on-5 games that you see at other camps.
What Will Coaches Learn?
You will learn the same things as the players. As an “observing coach” you can view the entire camp and take notes. You’ll pick up lots of new drills, fundamentals, and strategies that will give you an edge over the competition. We guarantee you will learn lots of new things from Don Kelbick.
How is This Camp Different Than Other Camps?
You’ll experience 5 key differences in this camp:
- You get to work with an NBA development coach. How many players get to do that?!!
- 99% of the camp is focused on skill development and competitive situations. Many of the camps these days play a lot of 5-on-5 games and do little skill development. Sure that can be fun and you need to get game experience… BUT do you really think most of your improvement happens during games? Of course not. You still need to play in game-like situations to apply your newly-learned skills, but most of the off-season should be spent on skill development.
Great players became great by practicing skills. We want you to get better so we focus on skills and put you in competitive situations. Most of the competitive break downs are lots of fun, but it’s different than the standard 5-on-5 games that you see at other camps.
- You will learn how to practice on your own! Don is a firm believer that it’s important to teach you how to practice on your own. He believes that “knowledge is power”. He strives to teach drills that you can use at home or in the gym on your own.
- You will learn about new and unique drills, concepts, and skills that you probably won’t see anywhere else. Don has a unique, out-of-the-box method to teaching basketball skills. Not to mention he understands a lot of critical concepts that few coaches, players, and parents understand. He will teach you something new, guaranteed.
- You learn about footwork and mentality which is rarely taught or understood by players and coaches. You will learn a very unique and simple way to apply the same footwork to post moves, perimeter moves, dribbling moves, getting open, using screens, playing defense, and more.
Who can attend?
The camp is for male and female high school players, and mature 7th & 8th graders. No exceptions are made for younger players.
This is for SERIOUS basketball players that want to get better. You can play games anywhere, so we focus on things you can’t just pick up anywhere. We focus on developing skills that will make you better!
Coaches that want to learn and pick up new drills can also observe (coaches can find more info below).

- You will learn about new and unique drills, concepts, and skills that you probably won’t see anywhere else. Don has a unique, out-of-the-box method to teaching basketball skills. Not to mention he understands a lot of critical concepts that few coaches, players, and parents understand. He will teach you something new, guaranteed.
- You learn about footwork and mentality which is rarely taught or understood by players and coaches. You will learn a very unique and simple way to apply the same footwork to post moves, perimeter moves, dribbling moves, getting open, using screens, playing defense, and more.
Who can attend?
The camp is for male and female high school players, and mature 7th & 8th graders. No exceptions are made for younger players.
This is for SERIOUS basketball players that want to get better. You can play games anywhere, so we focus on things you can’t just pick up anywhere. We focus on developing skills that will make you better!
Coaches that want to learn and pick up new drills can also observe (coaches can find more info below).
