The Paul Biancardi Basketball Camp that was held in Charlotte, NC on May 5-6 was an extremely successful event.
With a coaching staff of current D2, D3 college coaches, former college and pro players, the 80+ campers who attended had a full weekend of basketball skills, drills, competition, and education.

Coach Paul Biancardi was incredibly enthusiastic and active while coaching all of the participants throughout the weekend and had help from Brendan Winters and JD Ey of Pro Skills Basketball as well as local basketball skills trainer Nick Trull.
Campers participated in skill work break out sessions led by Nick Trull, group drills led by Coach Biancardi and Brendan Winters, games/competitions such a no-dribble 4v4 and normal 5v5.
A big focus of the @PaulBiancardi Camp is spacing and moving without the ball. Less dribbling, more passing, and “living low”! pic.twitter.com/SqQnZCEdec

One of the most valuable parts of camp is the basketball experience and lessons Paul Biancardi brings from his 20+ years as a college basketball coach and now currently his job as ESPN’s National Director of Boys High School Basketball Recruiting.
