An annual Basketball camp organised by Delije Basketball Academy will take place in Shoal Bay. For the past ten years, more specifically at the Shoal Bay Resort & Spa that lies on the white sands of Shoal Bay, by the entrance to Port Stephens, overlooking the magnificent volcanic headlands and spectacular bay and surrounding area. Boasting crystal clear waterways, white sandy beaches and extensive National Parks with unspoiled bushland. Shoal Bay is certainly one of best places to hold a basketball camp. Every year we gather about 50 children from around Sydney to the sandy beaches, the surrounding mountains, national parks, as well as in the hall PCYC NELSON BAY where the kids bond, train and learn the techniques of the beautiful game for the 5 days the camp lasts. The team at Shoal Bay Resort & Spa go out of their way to help the children and participants of camp to make them feel safe and welcome. The Campers will be accommodated in the villas pictured below. Overlooking the lagoon style Resort pool with its own beach and wading area, these 4.5 star studio hotel rooms are the centrally located, sleeping up to 3 to 4 guests including bathroom, tea/coffee making facilities, TV, fridge and microwave are the perfect solution for kids to have proper rest after a day of hard training. A highlight of the Camp is the cuisine of renowned chefs. Their talent and creativity have earned the resort a reputation as one of the region's most desirable. The chef s are making sure the food they serve is very healthy and filling for our children. The children will be eating in one of the best restaurants of the resort.
Professional Program The realization of the entire camp program is from the NSW Metro Development programs and of various Camps in Serbia. Program and training appropriate for the age and current skill level of the group the children will be selected in. Everyday, 4 training sessions are held, combined with running and working with the ball. A lot of the competition is organised so the children receive sportiness and winning attitude. The main goal of the camp is to improve the technique of working with a ball as well as the physical condition of each individual to realise that a basketball game can bring them a lot of satisfaction and joy. Camp Objectives This camp is designed for young boys and girls who want to learn the basics and to improve on their level of basketball. Campers will be divided into groups according to age and skill level. Every child will have a chance to improve their skills as well as physical condition. Why this camp seems different to other camps is that we offer children a safe environment with professional workers and experienced coaches. In the period of 5 days they learn to take care of themselves, to be part of the team as well as to improve their physical fitness, work on their weaknesses and improve on their basketball ability.
